OBJECTIVE Physical activity may modify the association of adiposity with type 2 diabetes. We investigated the independent and joint association of adiposity and physical activity with fasting plasma glucose, impaired fasting glucose, and type 2 diabetes in a Chinese population. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Middle-aged and older Chinese (n=28,946, ≥50 years, 72.4%women) from the Guangzhou Bioba...

Three antioxidant isoflavonoids characterized as 4',7,8-trihydroxyisoflavone (1), 3',4',7-trihydroxyisoflavone (2) and 8-chloro-3',4',5,7-tetrahydroxyisoflavone (3) were isolated from the cultured broth of Streptomyces sp. OH-1049. Among them, 3 is a novel isoflavonoid possessing a chlorine atom in the molecule. In in vitro studies, these antibiotics were found to possess antioxidant activity w...

In this paper we use duality theory to associate certain measures to fully-nonlinear elliptic equations. These measures are the natural extension of the Mather measures to controlled stochastic processes and associated second-order elliptic equations. We apply these ideas to prove new a-priori estimates for smooth solutions of fully nonlinear elliptic equations. Supported in part by FCT/POCTI/F...
