In the present study, we investigated the biochemical alterations and gene expression of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism after oral administration of vitamin A and E for 2 months in diet-induced obese Wistar rats. Vitamin A and E administration reduced significantly the increase in body weight and food intake and normalized the alterations in lipid profiles in obese rats compared to normal ra...

Due to their abundant nutrition and potential prebiotic functions, the potential development of oligosaccharide synthesis is very important. In this context, Synergistic catalytic manner of recombinant dextransucrase and Hypocrea lixii dextranase were elucidated according to carbohydrate analysis by carbohydrate gel electrophoresis and high performance liquid chromatography. The molecular weigh...

A series of 22 patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) of similar clinical severity (9 with normal carbohydrate tolerance and 13 with insulin-treated fasting hyperglycemia) was examined with quantitative vitreous fluorophotometry. All of the CF patients studied had normal fundi on ophthalmoscopy, fundus photographs, and fluorescein angiography. Mean vitreous fluorescein concentration in the CF patie...

Lysosomal storage is the most common cause of neurodegenerative brain disease in preadulthood. However, the underlying cellular mechanisms that lead to neuronal dysfunction are unknown. Here, we report that loss of Drosophila benchwarmer (bnch), a predicted lysosomal sugar carrier, leads to carbohydrate storage in yolk spheres during oogenesis and results in widespread accumulation of enlarged ...

this study was carried out to determine the protein and carbohydrate molecular structure of sorghum cultivars using fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ftir) with multivariate molecular spectroscopy analyses. sorghum cultivars included: 1- kimia, 2- sepideh, 3- m2 and 4- m8. protein and carbohydrate molecular functional groups studied included: peak area and height amide i, amide ii, α-hel...

Fertilization can affect the transformation of soil organic carbon (SOC) and microbial community composition. However, thus far, how SOC accumulation in association with bacterial is still unclear. We collected arable soils (aquic inceptisol) from a long-term fertilization experiment (20 years) including compost (CM), inorganic nitrogen + phosphorus potassium (NPK), half N plus fertilizer (HCM)...
