This study compared a training diet recommended for endurance athletes (H-CHO) with an isoenergetic high protein (whey supplemented), moderate carbohydrate (H-Pro) diet on endurance cycling performance. Over two separate 7-d periods subjects (n = 7) ingested either H-CHO (7.9 +/- 1.9 g x kg(-1) x d(-1) carbohydrate; 1.2 +/- 0.3 g x kg(-1) x d(-1) fat; 1.3 +/- 0.4 g x kg(-1) x d(-1) protein) or ...

BACKGROUND I.V. lidocaine reduces volatile anaesthetics requirements during surgery. We hypothesized that lidocaine would also reduce propofol requirements during i.v. anaesthesia. METHODS A randomized controlled study of 40 patients tested the effect of i.v. lidocaine (1.5 mg kg(-1) then 2 mg kg(-1) h(-1)) on propofol requirements. Anaesthesia was maintained with remifentanil and propofol ta...

Density (r/g cm-3) and viscosity (h/10-2gcm-1s-1=1centipoise,CP) of guanosine monophosphate (GMP) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) referred to as nucleotide, and 2-deoxy adenosine (DOA) and thymidine (TMD) as nucleoside along with their integral furanose sugar, 2-deoxy ribose (DOR) from 0.0004 to 0.0014mol kg<su...

     Colocasia esculenta Linn (CE) is traditionally used for the treatment of various ailments such as high blood pressure, rheumatic pain, pulmonary congestion, etc. Hence in present study, the effect of aqueous extract of CE leaves (AECE) was evaluated for antihypertensive and acute diuretic activity in rats. Preliminary phytochemical evaluation revealed the presence of carbohydrate, saponins...

objectives: acute pancreatitis is an inflammatory condition of pancreas with sudden onset, high mortality rate and multiple organ failure characteristics. it has been shown that oxygen free radicals have an important role in development of pancreatitis and its complications. antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-hepatotoxicity and gastroprotective properties of cichorium intybus l. suggest that ...

BACKGROUND Descriptions of the pharmacokinetics and metabolism of morphine and its metabolites in young children are scant. Previous studies have not differentiated the effects of size from those related to age during infancy. METHODS Postoperative children 0-3 yr old were given an intravenous loading dose of morphine hydrochloride (100 micro g kg(-1) in 2 min) followed by either an intraveno...

Muscle glycogen accumulation was determined in six trained cyclists (Trn) and six untrained subjects (UT) at 6 and either 48 or 72 h after 2 h of cycling exercise at approximately 75% peak O2 uptake (VO2 peak), which terminated with five 1-min sprints. Subjects ate 10 g carbohydrate . kg-1 . day-1 for 48-72 h postexercise. Muscle glycogen accumulation averaged 71 +/- 9 (SE) mmol/kg (Trn) and 31...
