The present study compared the metabolic responses between a single low-carbohydrate (LC) and low-fat (LF) meal followed by an aerobic exercise bout in females. Subjects included 8 active, premenopausal females. Subjects completed a LC and LF testing session. Respiratory gas exchange (RER) measurements were taken for 20 min fasted, for 55 min postprandial (PP), and during 30 min of exercise. Bl...

To compare the long-term effects of a very low carbohydrate, high-protein, low saturated fat (LC) diet with a traditional high unrefined carbohydrate, low-fat (HC) diet on markers of renal function in obese adults with type 2 diabetes (T2DM), but without overt kidney disease.One hundred fifteen adults (BMI 34.6 ± 4.3 kg/m, age 58 ± 7 years, HbA1c 7.3 ± 1.1%, 56 ± 12 mmol/mol, serum creatinine (...

date syrup, date concentrate and date liquid sugar are among the products which are produced from low quality dates in date processing plants. the aim of this research was to investigate chemical characteristics and sensory properties of date syrup, date concentrate and date liquid sugar in comparison with sugar (sucrose) solutions and evaluate possible substitution of sucrose with these date b...

AIM To study p53 expression in the tumor tissue of lung cancer (LC) patients with paraneoplastic rheumatic syndrome (PNRS). MATERIALS AND METHODS There have been used either biopsy or surgically resected tumor samples of 140 LC patients (83 patients without PNRS, 57 patients with PNRS). For evaluation of p53 expression in LC samples, immunohistochemical analysis was performed. RESULTS It ha...

The objective of this study was to characterize absorption of colostrum replacer (CR) or supplement (CS) containing fractions of bovine plasma. Immunoglobulin concentrate (IGC) was prepared from bovine blood to a final purity of approximately 90% IgG. Blood was also processed to produce a fraction containing elevated concentrations of IGF-I and TGF-beta (GF). Both IGC and GF were spray-dried an...

In this research work, the zinc extraction was investigated, using bioleaching process from a low grade zinc concentrate which was produced from the accumulated flotation tailings. Zinc content was initially upgraded to 11.97% by flotation process. Bioleaching experiments were designed and carried out by a mixed culture of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans, Leptospir...

PURPOSE To compare the visibility of the lamina cribrosa (LC) in optic disc images acquired from 60 glaucoma and 60 control subjects using three optical coherence tomography (OCT) devices, with and without enhanced depth imaging (EDI) and adaptive compensation (AC). METHODS A horizontal B-scan was acquired through the center of the disc using two spectral-domain (Spectralis and Cirrus; with a...

BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to compare the effects of 10 weeks resistance training in combination with either a regular diet (Ex) or a low carbohydrate, ketogenic diet (Lc+Ex) in overweight women on body weight and body composition. METHODS 18 untrained women between 20 and 40 years with BMI >/= 25 kg*m-2 were randomly assigned into the Ex or Lc+Ex group. Both groups performed...
