Soluble amino acid profile, mineral nutrient and carbohydrate content of maize kernels harvested from plants submitted to ascorbic acid seed priming

An. acad. bras. ciênc; 89 (1,supl), 2017
ABSTRACT Both the scientific community and society have shown interest in improving the content of amino acids, carbohydrates and mineral nutrients in maize because it represents an important staple food in many developing countries. Earlier studies demonstrated that the treatment of seeds using ascorbic...

The effect of dilution on the erosive potential of maltodextrin-containing sports drinks

Introduction: The increasing consumption of maltodextrin-containing sports drinks, usually acidic, during physical activity may cause dental erosion. Objective: To evaluate the effect of dilution on the erosive potential of maltodextrin-containing sports drinks. Methodology: Five samples of five maltod...

Detection, purification and characterization of a lectin from freshwater green algae Spirogyra spp

An. acad. bras. ciênc; 89 (3,supl), 2017
ABSTRACT Freshwater algae are rich sources of structurally biologically active metabolites, such as fatty acids, steroids, carotenoids and polysaccharides. Among these metabolites, lectins stand out. Lectins are proteins or glycoproteins of non-immune origin which bind to carbohydrates or glycoconjugates...

Índice, carga glicémica y fibra dietética de los alimentos y su asociación con resistencia a la insulina en adultos chilenos
Glycemic index, glycemic load and dietary fiber of foods and its association with insulin resistance in Chilean adults

Arch. latinoam. nutr; 66 (4), 2016
El Índice y Carga Glicémica (IG y CG) categorizan los alimentos según su capacidad de incrementar la glicemia, considerando cantidad y calidad de hidratos de carbono consumidos. Diferentes estudios han postulado que una dieta con IG y CG altos y bajo consumo de fibra incrementan la glicemia e insuline...

Evaluation of the impact of orally administered carbohydrates on postprandial blood glucose levels in different pre-clinical models

Braz. j. pharm. sci; 52 (4), 2016
ABSTRACT We developed a pre-clinical model in which to evaluate the impact of orally administered carbohydrates on postprandial blood glucose levels. For this purpose, we compared the effects of different carbohydrates with well-established glycemic indexes. We orally administered (gavage) increasing amo...
