Carbohydrates Carbohydrates are biochemical compounds that are utilized as a fuel in the body, and they include starches and sugars. Carbohydrates correspond to repeated units connected together, wherein these repeated units are called monomers and the larger formations are called polymers. Monosaccharides...

Hence, complex carbohydrates and dietary fiber are considered the healthiest carbs. Types of carbohydrates Simple carbohydrates: Sugars are a type of simple carbohydrate and can be found naturally in fruits and vegetables, but “added sugar” can be found in refined grains and processed foods. ...
ATP-binding cassette transporters were found for a variety of broader substrate categories such as amino acids, di- and oligopeptides, carbohydrates, lipoproteins, metal ions and systems involved in cell protection and competition with other organisms (Supplementary Table S6). Most of the detected ...
Blueberriesare a good source of carbohydrates for bodybuilders due to their carbohydrate composition and their high levels of antioxidants called anthocyanins, which have been found to exhibit significant health benefits. Blueberries are particularly beneficial for bodybuilders becauseresearchhas shown that ...
An interesting and exciting consequence of the specific recognition of carbohydrates has been the demonstration that T-cells recognizeglycopeptidesbound to MHC Class I molecules.Haurum et al. (1994)have reported the efficient binding to Class I MHC of a synthetic glycopeptide carrying the natura...
expression in pancreatic acinar cells (supplemental Fig.1). A PCR-based genotyping protocol was established to identify wild-type (CosmcWT) and activated hetero- (Ptf1a+/Cre;Cosmc+/fl) and homozygousCosmc-deficient (Ptf1a+/Cre;Cosmcfl/fl) animals, hereafter calledCosmc-KO (supplemental Fig.2...
(also called the Krebs, or citric acid, cycle), which interconnects carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism; this coenzyme (coenzyme A) acts at the hub of these reactions and thus is an important molecule in controlling the interconversion of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates and their ...
The small intestine is lined with tiny finger-like projections called villi, which increase the surface area for absorption. Nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats are absorbed into the bloodstream through the walls of the small intestine. The remaining undigested food then passes into...
