Exercise for primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease
(Elsevier, 2022)Regular exercise that meets or exceeds the current physical activity guidelines is associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality. Therefore, exercise training plays an important role in primary ... -
Recent advances of Raman spectroscopy for the analysis of bacteria
(Wiley, 2023)Rapid and sensitive bacteria detection and identification are becoming increasingly important for a wide range of areas including the control of food safety, the prevention of infectious diseases, and environmental monitoring. ... -
Evaluation of brewers’ spent grain on cardiovascular disease risk factors in adults: Lessons learned from a pilot study
(Elsevier, 2023)The beer industry generates large amounts of leftover barley called brewers’ spent grain (BSG). Fiber-rich grains like barley are associated with ameliorating cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors. This randomized pilot ... -
The Baby Bites Text Messaging Project with randomized controlled trial: Texting to improve infant feeding practices
(AME Publishing Company, 2023)Background: Rapid weight gain and overweight in infancy are associated with childhood obesity. Thus, effective, accessible interventions to promote healthy infant feeding practices to prevent early obesity are essential. -
Effect of tryptophan catabolites on the development of heat resistance in Bacillus cereus spores
(Faculty Press, Cambridge, 1970)Ethyloxamate and nicotinamide inhibited the development of heat resistance and the biosynthesis of pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid (dipicolinic acid) in Bacillus cereus spores. Addition of quinaldic acid or hydroxyanthranilic ... -
Free amino acids and volatile aroma compounds in watermelon rind, flesh, and three rind-flesh juices
(MDPI, 2022)Watermelon rind is treated as agricultural waste, causing biomass loss and environmental issues. This study aimed to identify free amino acids and volatiles in watermelon rind, flesh, and rind-flesh juice blends with ratios ... -
Consumer expectation of flavored water function, sensory quality, and sugar reduction, and the impact of demographic variables and woman consumer segment
(MDPI, 2022)This study aimed to investigate consumer expectation of flavored water and potential consumer segments. The results showed flavored water was ranked the fourth most popular drink, after plain water, tea, and coffee, by 901 ... -
Abstract 145: Dietary intake and quality among stroke survivors compared to matched controls who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey: 1999 - 2018
(Lippincott, 2023)Introduction: Nutrition is an important modifiable risk factor for the prevention and treatment of stroke. However, the examination of nutrient intake and diet quality in stroke survivors is limited. The purpose of this ... -
Cognition and brain oxygen metabolism improves after bariatric surgery-induced weight loss: A pilot study
(Frontiers Media, 2022)Objective: The primary objectives of this pilot study were to assess cognition and cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO2) consumption in people with severe obesity before (baseline), and again, 2- and 14-weeks after ... -
Sensory characteristics of high‐amylose maize‐resistant starch in three food products
(Wiley, 2012)Type 2 resistant starch from high-amylose maize (HAM-RS2) is considered a functional ingredient due to its positive organoleptic and physiochemical modifications associated with food and physiological benefits related to ... -
Metabolism of thyrotropin releasing hormone in brain extracts. isolation and characterization of an imidopeptidase for histidylprolineamide
(Elsevier, 1979)An extract of porcine brain acetone powder incubated with thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH; pGlu-His-ProNH2) produces acid TRH (pGlu-His-Pro), histidine, and prolineamide. Fractionation of the brain extract by DEAE-cellulose ... -
Demonstration of pyroglutamylpeptidase and amidase activities toward thyrotropin-releasing hormone in hamster hypothalamus extracts
(Elsevier, 1976)Using a radioimmunoassay method for thyrotropin-releasing hormone, the presence of thyrotropin-releasing hormone-metabolizing activity in various hamster tissues was demonstrated. While there was substantial activity ... -
Involvement of the glucose enzymes II of the sugar phosphotransferase system in the regulation of adenylate cyclase by glucose in escherichia coli
(Elsevier, 1976)The nature of the interaction of glucose with toluene-treated cells of Escherichia coli leading to inhibition of adenylate cyclase was examined by the use of analogues. Those analogues with variations of the substituents ... -
Synthesis of phosphatidylcholine from phosphatidylethanolamine by at least two methyltransferases in rat pituitary extracts
(Elsevier, 1981)Rat pituitary extracts contain at least two methyltransferases that methylate phosphatidylethanolamine to phosphatidylcholine using S-adenosylmethionine as the methyl donor. The first enzyme methylates phosphatidylethanolamine ... -
Initiation by methionine of mouse immunoglobulin light chain containing NH-2terminal pyroglutamic acid
(Elsevier, 1975)The mechanism of biosynthesis of NH2-terminal pyroglutamic acid has been studied in a mouse plasmacytoma (RPC-20) which produces an immunoglobulin light (lambda) chain containing NH2-terminal pyroglutamic acid. To this ... -
The subcellular and organ distribution and natural form of histidyl-proline diketopiperazine in rat brain determined by a specific radioimmunoassay
(Elsevier, 1980)Histidyl-proline diketopiperazine is produced in brain as a product of the metabolism of thyrotropin-releasing hormone. A number of the previously observed central nervous system and pituitary activities resulting from an ... -
Association between serum uric acid and metabolic syndrome components in prepubertal obese children (tanner stage I) from Nuevo León, Mexico - A preliminary study
(BMC, 2017)Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Previous studies in obese children demonstrating a positive association between serum uric acid (sUA) and components of ... -
Lifestyle and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) burden: Its relevance to healthy aging
(Aging and Disease Editorial, 2014)Uncontrolled continued exposure to oxidative stress is a precursor to many chronic diseases including cancer, diabetes, degenerative disorders and cardiovascular diseases. Of the many known mediators of oxidative stress, ... -
Food, mood and health: A neurobiologic outlook
(Associação Brasileira de Divulgação Científica (ABDC), 1998)Hippocrates was the first to suggest the healing power of food; however, it was not until the medieval ages that food was considered a tool to modify temperament and mood, although scientific methods as we know them today ... -
Bioactive plant metabolites in the management of non-communicable metabolic diseases: Looking at opportunities beyond the horizon
(MDPI, 2015)There has been an unprecedented worldwide rise in non-communicable metabolic diseases (NCDs), particularly cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and diabetes. While modern pharmacotherapy has decreased the mortality in the existing ...
