Uvod: Po zaužitju ogljikovih hidratov (OH) pred vadbo se poveča oksidacija OH, hkrati pa se zmanjša razpoložljivost prostih maščobnih kislin v plazmi in oksidacija lipidov med vadbo. Uživanje OH 30 do 60 minut pred vadbo lahko povzroči hiperglikemijo in hiperinzulinemijo ob začetku vadbe, čemur sledi hitro znižanje koncentracije glukoze v krvi, kar...
Strategija prehranjevanja športnikov, ki ne sledi načelom klinične športne prehrane, ne zadostuje presnovnim potrebam med fizično aktivnostjo in ovira proces regeneracije, kar zmanjšuje učinkovitost vadbe, ogroža zdravje in zmanjšuje zmogljivost športnikov. V raziskavi so sodelovali profesionalni rokometaši Rokometnega kluba Trimo Trebnje in rokome...
Bezpečnost a efektivita leteckých operací jsou klíčové pro letecký průmysl, a piloti musí být ve vrcholné fyzické a mentální kondici, aby byli schopni vykonávat své povinnosti efektivně. Vliv stravování na kognitivní funkce pilotů je často přehlížen, přestože může mít zásadní dopad na jejich výkon a bezpečnost letů. Tato práce se zaměřuje na zkoumá...

In plants, carbohydrates are central products of photosynthesis. Rice is a staple that contributes to the daily calorie intake for over half of the world’s population. Hence, the primary objective of rice cultivation is to maximize carbohydrate production. The “source-sink” theory is proposed as a valuable principle for guiding crop breeding. Howev...

IgE antibodies against the mammalian oligosaccharide allergen galactose-α-1,3-galactose (αGal) can result in a severe allergic disease known as alpha-gal syndrome (AGS). This syndrome, acquired by tick bites that cause αGal sensitization, leads to allergic reactions after ingestion of non-primate mammalian meat and mammalian-derived products that c...

Introduction In recent years, Norway spruce (Picea abies L.) forests in Central Europe have faced escalating threats from bark beetles, primarily Ips typographus (L.), and other species, such as I. duplicatus (Sahlberg). Outbreaks are partially attributed to weakened tree defense resulting from drought periods induced by climate change. This study ...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurological disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. There are currently no cures for AD, although various drugs are used to manage the symptoms and reduce the disease's progression. AChE inhibitors such as rivastigmine, donepezil, galantamine, and the NMDA glutamate receptor antagonist memantine are curren...
Biofilm formation is one of main causes of bacterial antimicrobial resistance infections. It is known that the soluble lectins LecA and LecB, produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa , play a key role in biofilm formation and lung infection. Bacterial lectins are therefore attractive targets for the development of new antibiotic-sparing anti-infective dr...

Energy efficient lighting strategies have received increased interest from controlled environment producers. Long photoperiods (up to 24 h - continuous lighting (CL)) of lower light intensities could be used to achieve the desired daily light integral (DLI) with lower installed light capacity/capital costs and low electricity costs in regions with ...
