Compared with the proteins of other cereals, those of rice haye been but little studied, notwithstanding the fact that rice constitutes one cf the most important sources of food for a large part of the world’s population. One reason for this is doubtless due to the unusual distribution of the classes of protein found in this seed. Unlike the proteins of other cereals, nearly all of the proteins...

Background: The prevalence of hypertension continues to increase dramatically in developing countries. Worldwide, an estimated 1 billion individuals are hypertensive; there is therefore great interest in identifying the lifestyle factors (e.g., weight and salt and alcohol intake) that affect blood pressure. Dietary potassium supplementation, for example, has been shown to reduce blood pressure ...

Hypertension affects one in three adults in Turkey and the United States. Only half are treated for this condition and only 10-20% is controlled. Dietary modifications such as salt restriction, moderation of alcohol drinking, and a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and legumes and low in snacks, sweets, meat, and saturated fat are helpful in the treatment of hypertension. Consumption of dark cho...

Data from epidemiologic, experimental, and animal studies indicate that diet plays an important role in the etiology of gastric cancer. High intake of fresh fruits and vegetables, lycopene and lycopene-containing food products, and potentially vitamin C and selenium may reduce the risk for gastric cancer. Data also suggest that high intake of nitrosamines, processed meat products, salt and salt...

Lifestyle factors are critical determinants of blood pressure levels operating against a background of genetic susceptibility. Excess body fat is a predominant cause of hypertension with additive effects of dietary salt, alcohol, and physical inactivity. Controlled trials in hypertensives show blood pressure lowering effects of supplemental potassium, fibre, n-3 fatty acids, and diets rich in f...

The glycosylation of O-glycosyl trichloroacetimidate donors using a synergistic catalytic system of electron-deficient pyridinium salts/aryl thiourea derivatives at room temperature is demonstrated. The acidity of the adduct formed by the 1,2-addition of alcohol to the electron-deficient pyridinium salt is increased in the presence of an aryl thiourea derivative as an hydrogen-bonding cocatalys...

A general process for the high-yielding synthesis of substituted chiral and achiral α-substituted acrylates was achieved through the sequential one-pot combination of a metal-free reductive coupling reaction followed by an Eschenmoser methylenation. The proline catalyzed reaction of Meldrum's acid, aldehydes and Hantzsch ester followed by methylenation was successful with Eschenmoser's salt in ...

Background: One of the effective factors in healthy living elderly is health-promoting behaviors. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate relationship between behaviors and mental health military veterans Iran. Methods: Using available sampling method, this descriptive-analytical was performed on 280 over 60 years old referred a center Urmia, We used questionnaire comprising three sections ...

To identify factors predicting aortic stiffness, we studied the modulus of elasticity of the thoracic aorta in relation to sex, obesity, blood pressure, physical activity, smoking, ethanol consumption, salt intake, and serum lipid and insulin levels in 55 healthy people born in 1954. A transverse cine magnetic resonance image of the thoracic aorta was made, and the modulus of elasticity was det...

In continuation of the physiological investigation concerning the metabolism of the organic-phosphorus compound known as phytin, which has been and is being carried out at this institution by Dr. Jordan, a closer study of the chemical properties of this substance, phytin, became necessary. Much work has already been done and reported on this subject by various investigators. Definite informatio...
