Ground-based gamma-ray astronomy has had a major breakthrough with the impressive results obtained using systems of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. huge potential in astrophysics, particle physics and cosmology. CTA is an international initiative to build next generation instrument, factor 5-10 improvement sensitivity 100 GeV 10 TeV range extension energies well below above TeV. will consist two arrays (one north, one south) for full sky coverage be operated as open observatory....
<h3>Objective</h3> A low FODMAP (Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides And Polyols) diet reduces symptoms of IBS, but reduction potential prebiotic and fermentative effects might adversely affect the colonic microenvironment. The a with typical Australian on biomarkers health were compared in single-blinded, randomised, cross-over trial. <h3>Design</h3> Twenty-seven IBS six healthy subjects randomly allocated one two 21-day provided diets, differing only content (mean...
Foods high in resistant starch have the potential to improve human health and lower risk of serious noninfectious diseases. RNA interference was used down-regulate two different isoforms starch-branching enzyme (SBE) II (SBEIIa SBEIIb) wheat endosperm raise its amylose content. Suppression SBEIIb expression alone had no effect on content; however, suppression both SBEIIa resulted containing >70% amylose. When grain fed rats a diet as wholemeal, several indices large-bowel function, including...
Altering FODMAP (fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols) intake has substantial effects on gut microbiota. This study aimed to investigate of altering markers colonic health in patients with Crohn's disease.After evaluation their habitual diet, 9 clinically quiescent disease were randomised 21 days provided low or typical ("Australian") diets ≥21-day washout between. Five-day fecal samples collected at the end each diet analyzed for calprotectin, pH,...
Very low-carbohydrate diets are often used to promote weight loss, but their effects on bowel health and function largely unknown. We compared the of a very low-carbohydrate, high-fat (LC) diet with high-carbohydrate, high-fibre, low-fat (HC) indices function. In parallel study design, ninety-one overweight obese participants (age 50·6 (sd 7·5) years; BMI 33·7 4·2) kg/m2) were randomly assigned either an energy-restricted (about 6–7 MJ, 30 % deficit) planned isoenergetic LC or HC for 8...
The inactivation of starch branching IIb (SBEIIb) in rice is traditionally associated with elevated apparent amylose content, increased peak gelatinization temperature, and a decreased proportion short amylopectin branches. To elucidate further the structural functional role this enzyme, phenotypic effects down-regulating SBEIIb expression endosperm were characterized by artificial microRNA (amiRNA) hairpin RNA (hp-RNA) gene silencing. results showed that silencing grains did not affect...
Cell walls in commercially important cereals and grasses are characterized by the presence of (1,3;1,4)-β-d-glucans. These polysaccharides beneficial constituents human diets, where they can reduce risk hypercholesterolemia, type II diabetes, obesity colorectal cancer. The biosynthesis cell wall (1,3;1,4)-β-d-glucans Poaceae is mediated, part at least, cellulose synthase-like CslF family genes. Over-expression barley CslF6 gene under control an endosperm-specific oat globulin promoter...
Epidemiological studies have identified increased colorectal cancer (CRC) risk with high red meat (HRM) intakes, whereas dietary fibre intake appears to be protective. In the present study, we examined whether a HRM diet rectal O(6)-methyl-2-deoxyguanosine (O(6)MeG) adduct levels in healthy human subjects, and butyrylated high-amylose maize starch (HAMSB) was A group of twenty-three individuals consumed 300 g/d cooked without (HRM diet) or 40 HAMSB (HRM+HAMSB over 4-week periods separated by...
Abstract Type II diabetes is a major chronic disease. In developing countries, the prevalence of type increasing enormously. Much research indicates that choice carbohydrates, particularly those with low glycaemic index (GI) able to assist in management or prevention diabetes. Most countries consume rice as staple. The objectives this study were determine variability GI popular improved and traditional varieties find genetic basis GI. A method predict using an vitro system was compared vivo...
Abstract High red meat (HRM) intake is associated with increased colorectal cancer risk, while resistant starch probably protective. Resistant fermentation produces butyrate, which can alter microRNA (miRNA) levels in cells vitro; effects of and on miRNA expression vivo were unknown. This study examined whether a HRM diet altered rectal mucosa tissue healthy volunteers, if supplementation butyrylated (HRM+HAMSB) modified this response. In randomized cross-over design, 23 volunteers undertook...
<h3>Objective</h3> Colonic fermentation in patients with UC remission was compared that matched healthy subjects on habitual diets and when dietary fibre increased. <h3>Design</h3> Fibre intake, faecal output of (measured as non-starch polysaccharide (NSP)), starch, microbiota products, whole gut transit time (WGTT) were assessed association diet intake wheat bran (WB)-associated high amylose-associated resistant starch (RS) increased an 8-week, randomised, single-blind, cross-over study....
Summary Resistant starch ( RS ), a type of dietary fibre, plays an important role in human health; however, the content most modern processed starchy foods is low. Cereal starch, when structurally manipulated through modified biosynthetic pathway to greatly increase amylose content, could be food source . Transgenic studies have previously revealed requirement simultaneous down‐regulation two branching enzyme SBE ) II isoforms both located on long arm chromosome 2, namely SBEII and b ,...
