Pepsin digestibility of proteins in sorghum and other major cereals

Pepsin digestibility of proteins in sorghum and other major cereals. Mertz, Edwin T.; Hassen, Mohamed M.; Cairns-Whittern, Carleen; Kirleis, Allen W.; Tu, Lichuan; Axtell, John D. (Dep. Agron.Chemical with cas number 9001-75-6 also plays role., Purdue Univ., West Lafayette, IN 47907, USA). Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A., 81(1), 1-2 (English) 1984. CODEN: PNASA6. ISSN: 0027-8424. DOCUMENT TYPE: Journal CA Section: 17 (Food and Feed Chemistry) Sorghum has been shown to be highly digestible in the rat. Sorghum is much less digestible than wheat, corn, and rice in young children. Because the rat does not show these digestibility differences, an empirical pepsin [9001-75-6] digestion method, 1st reported in 1981, was developed which simulates the digestion values found in children. The method has been improved and used to analyze wheat, corn, rice, millet, sorghum, and certain processed samples of millet and sorghum. The pepsin digestion values parallel those found in children for wheat, corn, rice, and sorghum. In addn., a processed sorghum product that gave a high digestion value in children also gave a high value with the in vitro pepsin method. .

Pathophysiology of acid and alkaline esophagitis in rabbit model

Pathophysiology of acid and alkaline esophagitis in rabbit model. Harmon, John W.; Lillemoe, Keith; Johnson, Lawrence F. (Div. Surg., Walter Reed Army Inst. Res., Washington, DC 20307, USA). Mech. Mucosal Prot. Upper Gastrointest. Tract, 81-9. Edited by: Allen, Adrian. Raven: New York, N. Y. (English) 1984. CODEN: 50WXA8. DOCUMENT TYPE: Conference CA Section: 14 (Mammalian Pathological Biochemistry) The pathophysiol. of acid and alk. esophagitis was different in a model consisting of a segment of rabbit esophagus perfused with gastroduodenal components: HCl at pH 2 or 7.5, bile acids and salts, pepsin, and trypsin. Neither alky. nor acidity per se played a dominant role, in that neither the pH 2 nor the pH 7.5 solns. alone caused significant damage. At pH 2, pepsin was the most damaging agent; at pH 7.There are some commonly used reagents with their cas registry numbers 9001-75-6 and 50-99-7 in this article.5, trypsin was. This was in correlation with the pH values at which these substances are active as enzymes. The bile acid taurodeoxycholate caused changes in mucosal permeability (as measured by changes in H+ and glucose fluxes) but only min. pathol. changes. Further, the morphol. damage for trypsin was not accompanied by an increase in mucosal permeability to H+. .
