For many years bacteriologists have observed that some bacteria produce acid from carbohydrates only under aerobic conditions while others produce acid both under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. The significance of these observations does not seem to have been appreciated generally by taxonomists. Studies of bacterial physiology have made it increasingly evident that the bacterial metabolism ...

Physical activity in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) is hindered because of the high risk of glycemic imbalances. A recently proposed algorithm (named Ecres) estimates well enough the supplemental carbohydrates for exercises lasting one hour, but its performance for prolonged exercise requires validation. Nine T1DM patients (5M/4F; 35-65 years; HbA1c 54 ± 13 mmol · mol(-1)) performed, unde...

Human tests show that long-term high-fat diet adaptation can increase fat oxidation in the exercise significantly than high-carbohydrates. Fewer studies focus on single high fat diet on glucose and lipid metabolism and the change of fat oxidation. This test attempts to use respiratory quotient as an effective indicator to reflect the body's metabolism of glucose and lipid and evaluate the oxida...
