Isoflavones are known phytoestrogens; and they are found, for example, in soy products and are known to have systemic effects in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, osteoporosis, malignant tumors and other maladies in humans. The current literature supports the safety of isoflavones as typically...
in which RCO―OH denotes a molecule of a carboxylic acid, R′―OH denotes a molecule of an alcohol, and the dashes represent covalent bonds that are broken or formed during the reaction.The chemistry of digestion: How food is broken down Using chemistry to explain how humans digest carbohydr...
7.2 µmol/L), reducing pyrophosphate hydrolysis in plasma and increasing plasma pyrophosphate availability. Alkaline phosphatase is also found in many tissues and cells types; therefore, our results in plasma may be indicative of changes in phosphatase activity in other locations that collectively ...
cell division, biofilm formation, induction of genetic competence, and commensalic and symbiotic mutual relations with higher organisms, nutrient cycle, pathogenicity for humans, and water organisms that is an example of successful interrelation of bacteria and substratum in the ecology of the microorgan...
A product hydrolysate from brewers' spent grain is disclosed, and the process for the preparation thereof, as well as uses thereof in food for humans and feed for animals. This hydrolysate contains a high percentage of pentosans at a low molecular weight which therefore offers a high bioavailabi...
does not undergo amide hydrolysis in man6, with few cases of hepatotoxicity having been reported in the literature7. The aniline analgesics also display varied metabolism; paracetamol (acetaminophen) undergoes limited hydrolysis to the amine,p-aminophenol after administration to humans with only ca. 1...
In contrast to mice, however, not all Foxp3+ cells are also positive for CD39. In the example shown in Figure 5C, about 40% of the human Foxp3+ cells did not express the marker. CD39+ cells, however, expressed high levels of Foxp3. Although in CD39− Treg cells the mean ...
Therefore, these observations indicate that β-carboline-metabolizing pathways involving CAOs may also be present in humans and other living organisms. The implication of the existence of the above metabolism in humans is important, because β-carboline alkaloids, including harmaline, have been shown ...
The digestion of starch and starch derivatives in humans is a multi-enzyme process which generates glucose as the major dietary energy source. Digestible or amorphous starch may be depolymerised by digestive (pancreatic) α-amylase to generate dextrins, maltooligosaccharides and maltose. The small ...
