Sweetener type can influence sensory properties and consumer's acceptance and preference for low-calorie products. An ideal sweetener does not exist, and each sweetener must be used in situations to which it is best suited. Aspartame and sucralose can be good substitutes for sucrose in passion fruit juice.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFTryptophan is an essential amino acid precursor of neurotransmitter serotonin and triptamine. During its metabolism, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is generated; this substance presents both antioxidant and prooxidant effects in different biological systems in addition to hipoglicemic effects. To date, electroencephalography (EEG) has been used to evaluate the temporal effect of several substances in neurotransmission.

Complexity measurement using Lempel and Ziv algorithm (LZ) has been used to analyze physiological data. This work shows that the Lempel and Ziv complexity measurement of EEG signals using wavelets transforms is independent of electrode position and dependent on cognitive tasks and brain activity. EEG database with 122 subjects from the public EEG dataset was used in this study.

For this purpose, bovine milk neutrophils were incubated in the absence (control) of and presence of P. zopfii, and then they were examined hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) production, antioxidant enzyme activities, and phagocytic capacity.

A gavage administration resulted in an increase in phagocytic capacity in neutrophils in a dose depended manner for 1 mg, 2 mg, 18 mg, and 40 mg of IAA per kg of body mass, respectively, compared with the control. Similarly, subcutaneous administration of IAA at 2, 18, and 40 mg per kg of body mass promoted a significant rise in phagocytosis by neutrophils.

The toxic effect of indole acetic acid in leukocytes is associated with peroxidase activities and these processes have been implicated in activation of glucose and glutamine metabolism.

The animals received subcutaneous administration of IAA in a phosphate-buffered saline (the control group received only the phosphate-buffered saline). The other groups received IAA at concentrations of 1 mg (T1), 2 mg (T2) and 18 mg (T3) per kg of body mass per day.
