Augmenting concentration these acids can enhance output pathway. Unlike previous studies, work reported here explores possibility combining endo- exo-proteases to selectiv...

PURPOSE This study examined the effects of hypohydration and moderate hyperthermia (core temperature elevation) on anaerobic exercise performance in a temperate environment. METHODS Eight active males completed two passive heat exposure trials (180 min, 45 degrees C, 50% rh) with (EUH) and without (HYP) fluid replacement. A single 15-s Wingate anaerobic test (WAnT) was used to assess anaerobi...

The degree of variability in the composition herbal medicines was studied on example preparation St. John's wort from various Ukrainian producers. Cu and Zn contents were most stable compared to other (Fe, Mn, Co, Cr, Ni, Pb, Cd) microelements among plants different origins. content toxic elements (Pb, did not exceed established standards. Meanwhile, a 2-3-fold concentration difference observed...

A successful wort fermentation depends on both the sugar and free amino nitrogen (FAN) content of a wort.
