A comparative study was made with two HPLC columns of different lengths (PRP-X 100, 250 mm × 4.1 mm id and PRP-X 100, 100 mm × 4.1 mm id) coupled to HGAAS for the speciation of inorganic Sb(III) and Sb(V) species. The effects of eluent concentration and pH on the retention times of Sb species in both columns were investigated. The separation of Sb species was realized by using 50 mmol/L citrate...

Effects of quercetin, a kind of flavonoids, on the vasodilating actions were investigated. Among the mechanisms for quercetin-induced vasodilatation in rat aorta, the involvement with the Ca(2+) activated K(+) (K(Ca)) channel was examined. Pretreatment with NE (5 microM) or KCl (60 mM) was carried out and then, the modulation by quercetin of the constriction was examined using rat aorta ring st...

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of carbohydrate (CHO) augmentation on endurance performance and substrate utilization in aerobically trained women. Eight endurance-trained women completed a 24.2-km (15 mile) self-paced treadmill performance run under three conditions: CHO supplementation (S), CHO loading and supplementation (L+S), and placebo (P). Dietary CHO was approximate...
