"It might sound like bad advice, but for Japanese men, eating a high-carb diet could actually be a good thing—only, it depends on the type of carb. Because eating too much of the wrong ones could have dire consequences. These are the findings reported by Professor Chisato Nagata and colleagues from the Gifu University Graduate School of Medicine in Japan—recipients of the inaugural British Journal of Nutrition Paper of the Year award. Their paper, published in volume 122, issue 7 of BJN, describes a subset of results from the Takayama Study. The study was launched in 1992 to link dietary and lifestyle factors to morbidity from cancer and other diseases. Participants filled out a questionnaire at baseline on how frequently they ate various foods..."

Biology is designed for multi-semester biology courses for science majors. It is grounded on an evolutionary basis and includes exciting features that highlight careers in the biological sciences and everyday applications of the concepts at hand. To meet the needs of today’s instructors and students, some content has been strategically condensed while maintaining the overall scope and coverage of traditional texts for this course. Instructors can customize the book, adapting it to the approach that works best in their classroom. Biology also includes an innovative art program that incorporates critical thinking and clicker questions to help students understand—and apply—key concepts.

By the end of this section, you will be able to:Describe how feedback inhibition would affect the production of an intermediate or product in a pathwayIdentify the mechanism that controls the rate of the transport of electrons through the electron transport chain

Dehydration synthesis (condensation reaction) between sugar molecules. Monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides. Formation of maltose from glucose monomers.

This presentation focus' on glucose and insulin, and how these are integrated in the intact organism, in continuation of this we’ll talk about, insulin and glucagon secretion, hepatic glucose production and plasma glucose concentrations. The purpose of this is to get an understanding of what happens in the body when you have type 2 diabetes. Furthermore we’ll talk about the possibility of developing an glucagon receptor antagonist, regarding the therapy of diabetes.

This presentation focuses on the treatment of hyperglycaemia with type 2 diabetes patients. We’ll provide an introduction to exenatide, liraglutide, GLP-1 receptor antagonist, combination therapy, DPP-4 inhibitor, pancreatic safety of incretin-based drugs, SGLT-2 inhibitor and glucose absorption.

This presentation talks about which role exercise plays in developing diabetes. We will describe what happens in the body when we exercise, and why these changes help us prevent and treat diabetes. In continuation of this we’ll talk about the interaction between insulin, glucose and muscle cells and how we through exercise, can change our health. Furthermore we’ll discuss how lifestyle can affect one’s future children in terms of developing diabetes later on.

Through a teacher-led discussion, students realize that the food energy plants obtain comes from sunlight via the plant process of photosynthesis. They learn what photosynthesis is, at an age-appropriate level of detail and vocabulary, and then begin to question how we know that photosynthesis occurs, if we can't see it happening. Elodea is a common water plant that students can use to directly observe evidence of photosynthesis. When Elodea is placed in a glass beaker near a good light source, bubbles of oxygen will be released as products of photosynthesis. By counting the number of bubbles that rise to the surface in a five-minute period, students can compare the photosynthetic activity of Elodea in the presence of high and low light levels.

"Diseases like epilepsy and diabetes are linked to inflammation and oxidative stress which can be further complicated by persistent high blood glucose levels Drug-based treatments can help, but issues of tolerance, effectiveness, and compliance can complicate treatment The ketogenic diet (KD) reduces blood glucose and insulin, helping individuals to manage their condition But adherence to a strict KD can be difficult A recent study at the University of South Florida identified a promising possible alternative to KD adherence Using rodent models of epilepsy and glucose intolerance as well as non-disease models Researchers evaluated blood glucose levels after administration of exogenous ketone supplements Animals given exogenous ketones had lower blood glucose levels, both when resting and after exercise This treatment was effective for all of the disease models evaluated, and it also helped reduce blood glucose in rodents without pathology at different age ranges Further preclinical and clin.."

"Despite the availability of effective and safe glucose-lowering agents, many patients with type 2 diabetes do not achieve glycemic targets. This finding suggests that when it comes to deciding on treatment options, efficacy and safety are only part of the equation; patients’ preferences, needs, and values should also guide decision-making. In this vein, researchers explored the attitudes of patients with inadequately controlled type 2 diabetes towards semaglutide. Semaglutide is an injectable, once-weekly glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, or GLP-1 RA. Growing research has shown semaglutide to be safe and effective for controlling glucose levels and to induce weight loss in people with type 2 diabetes..."

"People with diabetes who require basal insulin to achieve blood glucose control can be at risk of hypoglycaemia, where blood glucose levels drop too low. In randomised clinical trials (or RCTs), use of second-generation basal insulin analogues, such as insulin glargine 300 units/mL (known as glargine 300) and insulin degludec, results in similar glycated haemoglobin reductions compared with first-generation basal insulin analogues, such as glargine 100 and insulin detemir, but with less hypoglycaemia. However, it is not known whether these results translate directly to routine clinical practice, as RCTs often apply strict inclusion and exclusion criteria, meaning that they may not be generalisable to real-life situations. Electronic medical records are a source of rich real-world data, but using them to make comparisons between different treatments can be difficult because results might be biased by confounding data, something that the randomisation in RCTs is designed to minimise..."

"Take. Make. Dispose. Long the mantra of modern industry, this linear model of economic growth is unsustainable. It has drained the planet of natural resources and amplified the climate-altering effects of human activity. Fortunately, it’s not too late to turn it around. The United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development outlines a plan of action for preserving peace, people, prosperity, and our planet. Central to that plan is the promotion of a new industrial model of reduction, reuse, and recycling. Scientists from Sweden are taking up that cause in an unlikely but impactful place: inside plants. Biomass is a highly underutilized natural resource. Currently, humans use only about 3.5% of net growth of global biomass. It’s not hard to envision how adding more biomass to the world’s current energy mix could substantially offset harmful fossil fuels..."
