In chickens, elevated environmental temperature reduces food intake. We have previously reported that, during heat stress, the intestinal mucosa has an increased capacity to take up sugars. To investigate whether effects of warm environment on sugar uptake are adaptation lower energy intake or a response attributable we examined glucose transport kinetics apical and basolateral membranes jejunum mucosal morphology broiler chickens maintained in climatic chambers for 2 wk. Experimental groups...

This paper presents a study on (1) how children experience pet robot, (2) they play with it and (3) children's perceptions interaction robots are interrelated. The features different types of subjective objective techniques to assess the degree perceived social entity from self-reports (i.e. questionnaires) observed behavior. Three short questionnaires an ad hoc code scheme 15 low-level micro-behaviors were developed. 28 scholars aged 8 12 at school during period Pleo robot asked answer...

1 The effect of a low-NaCl diet (LS diet) on the properties hexose transport across brush-border and basolateral membranes enterocytes from jejunum, ileum rectum chicken was investigated. 2 In membrane, LS adaptation had no Km for α-methyl-d-glucoside while Vmax values were significantly reduced in rectum. All Scatchard plots specific [3H]phlorizin binding give straight line, consistent with single population sites. Phlorizin vs.α-methyl-d-glucoside maximal rates showed linear correlation. 3...

To evaluate the effect of age on sugar transport, we determined uptake methyl α-d-glucopyranoside and abundance Na + -d-glucose cotransporter (SGLT1) in jejunal brush-border membrane (BBM) vesicles 2-day- 5-wk-old chickens. Methyl transport per BBM protein was 40% lower adults than newly hatched This finding matched by parallel declines site density SGLT1, which were detected Western blot. The immunohistochemical study showed that SGLT1 exclusively located enterocytes along entire villus...

We have studied the expression of Na + -d-glucose cotransporter in brush-border membrane vesicles (BBMVs) chicken enterocytes to correlate changes apical -dependent transport with amounts transporter determined by Western blot analysis. Two different rabbit polyclonal antibodies were used simultaneously. The antibody raised against amino acids 564–575 deduced acid sequence intestinal SGLT-1 ( 1) specifically detects a single 75-kDa band three segments, and this disappeared when was...

The aims of the study presented in this paper are to find evidence that customization a robot increases engagement interacting with it, and adaptation non-social robotic platform like LEGO Robotics is possible. has been done 7 years old children from primary school level have doing daily homework activities conducted by during one month. Results showed us higher interaction adaptability social customization.

In chickens, we have shown that intestinal absorption of glucose via apical SGLT1 and basolateral GLUT2 transport systems is affected by dietary Na+; low-Na+ adapted birds show a dramatic reduction transporters in both membranes the rectum, an intermediate response ileum no effects jejunum. We now studied effect resalination chickens on kinetics across (using -methyl-D-glucoside as substrate) D-glucose) specific binding phlorizin cytochalasin B, respectively. Twelve-week-old male Leghorn...

In the chicken intestine, reduction in Na + intake led to a decrease transport of α-methyl-d-glucoside ileum (reduction 42%) and rectum (51%). These reductions were reversed within 24 h after resalination inversely correlated changes aldosterone plasma concentration. The intestinal hexose low -fed animals was due number -dependent d-glucose cotransporters (SGLT1) (46%) (38%). Northern blot analysis showed that specific SGLT1 mRNA expressed jejunum, ileum, rectum. amount same all regions not...

This paper presents the introduction of a study to compare different treatments within program counseling and education directed parents with cognitive rehabilitation aimed at children through robotics. The Essentials this are described in detail. aim is neuropsychological rehabilitation, addressing cognitive, emotional, behavioral psychosocial deficits caused by brain damage.

1. In chickens, low Na+ diets markedly decrease the hexose transport in rectal segment of large intestine; ileum shows a lower, but significant reduction and jejunum is unaffected. These effects involve both apical (SGLT1) basolateral (GLUT2) transporters. 2. The role renin-angiotensin-aldosterone axis (RAAS) epithelial response to intake was studied chickens fed high-NaCl (HS) low-NaCl (LS) diets. V(max) alpha-methyl-D-glucoside D-glucose were determined vesicles from brush-border (BBMVs)...

The characteristics of the basolateral transport D-glucose (D-Glc) and D-fructose (D-Fru) have been studied in membrane vesicles from jejunum 5- to 6-wk-old chickens. Uptake hexoses was measured using a rapid filtration method. maximal rate (Vmax) for D-Glc 2.36 nmol x mg(-1) s(-1) D-Fru 3.79 s(-1). Michaelis constants were 17.3 mmol/l 40.4 D-Fru. inhibited its own (Ki = 17.4 mmol/l) 18.7 mmol/l). 38.1 40.3 both Na+ independent, theophylline cytochalasin B sensitive, showed cis-inhibition by...

Na+-dependent D-glucose transport was studied in brush-border membrane vesicles from duodenum, jejunum, and ileum of 5- to 6-wk-old chickens. Regional differences were found, both initial rates accumulation ratio higher the proximal part small intestine than ileum. To establish mechanism(s) underlying these we have density cotransporter (SGLT1) as well lipid composition fluidity. Phlorizin-specific binding Western blot analysis indicated a decrease amount SGLT1 when compared duodenum...
