The aim of this study was to observe the antidiabetic effect and mechanism of chitooligosaccharides (COS). Type 2 diabetic rats were fed a high-energy diet together with an injection of streptozotocin (STZ). After 8 weeks of COS treatment, the changes in glycometabolism, insulin sensitivity, serum hepatic marker enzyme levels, liver glycogen content, expressions of glucose transporter GLUT-4, m...

Foetal loss and intrauterine growth restriction are major problems in mammals, but there are few effective ways in preventing it. Intriguingly, chitosan oligosaccharide (COS), a biomaterial derived from chitosan, can promote foetal survival and growth. Therefore, we have investigated how COS affects foetal survival and growth in a pig model. Fifty-two sows were divided into two treatment groups...

The aim of the study was to investigate effects chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) on some hematological parameters, and define percentage alpha-naphthyl acetate esterase (ANAE) positive lymphocytes in rats that had been exposed cadmium (Cd). Thirty-two (n = 32) male Wistar albino were randomly divided into four groups as control (C), (COS), (Cd), Cd + COS (CdCOS) groups. Blood samples collected as...

Cello-oligosaccharides (COS) are small carbohydrate molecules derived from cellulose through partial hydrolysis. COS exert physiological influence on plants, animals and humans when externally dosed or consumed. Their potential as a prebiotic for an elicitor plants has generated interest in their synthesis purification. Currently, lack of availability, even at scales necessary research, restric...

Aiming at the difficulty in real-time measuring and long offline measurement cycle for content of cement clinker free lime (fCaO), it is very important to build an online prediction model fCaO content. In this work, on basis Cholesky factorization, sequential multiple kernel extreme learning machine algorithm (COS-MKELM) proposed. The LDLT form factorization matrix introduced avoid large operat...

1. Hopefully, every group accomplished at least some work this week on project 2. 2. (a) You can do this problem in two ways. The first way is attaching frames to each link and determining the Denavit–Hartenberg parameters, as illustrated in Figure 1. Referring to the figure, the link parameters are: i α i−1 a i−1 d i θ i 1 0 0 0 θ 1 2 0 l 1 0 θ 2 3 0 l 2 0 θ 3 Using equation 3.6 or your Mathem...

CONTEXT Cortical gray matter (GM) loss is marked and progressive in childhood-onset schizophrenia (COS) during adolescence but becomes more circumscribed by early adulthood. Nonpsychotic siblings of COS probands could help evaluate whether the cortical GM abnormalities are familial/trait markers. OBJECTIVE To map cortical development in nonpsychotic siblings of COS probands. DESIGN Using an...

The function W (a, b) = 2π 0 dx 2π 0 dy ln[1−a cos x−b cos y−(1−a−b) cos(x+y)] which expresses the spanning-tree entropy for various two dimensional lattices, for example, is evaluated directly in terms of standard functions. It is applied to derive several limiting values of the Triangular lattice Green function.
