| trypsin inhibitor effects on food intake and weight gain in zucker rats. | decreased body weight and increased pancreas weight which occur in rats fed raw soybeans are thought to be due to the presence of trypsin inhibitors in the soybeans (sbti). since trypsin is postulated to be a negative feedback signal for cholecystokinin (cck) secretion, sbti may have these effects by increasing secretion of cck. cck is a putative satiety signal; thus, increased secretion of cck could decrease food intake, and, if maintained over a period of time, body weight. in these experiment ... | 1983 | 6657770 |
| bowman-birk soybean protease inhibitor as an anticarcinogen. | vegetarian populations show a decreased occurrence of breast, colon, and prostatic cancers. epidemiological studies have identified seeds (maize, corn, and beans) as protective agents in these cancers. we have selected to study one abundant component of all seeds, protease inhibitors. synthetic and natural protease inhibitors have been shown to inhibit tumor promotion in vivo and in vitro. in the present study, we report that a typical, natural protease inhibitor, the bowman-birk inhibitor isola ... | 1983 | 6682011 |
| labeling of soybeans with the stable isotope 70zn for use in human metabolic studies. | radiozinc (65zn) was used to assess the efficiency of incorporation of the label into soybean seeds by means of a noncycling hydroponic system. it was found that 21.3 and 27.6% of the applied dose was incorporated into the mature seeds when the tracer was applied during vegetative or flowering stages of growth cycle, respectively. the latter method was adapted to labeling with the stable isotope 70zn, and quantitative incorporation of this isotope was investigated within and among hydroponic cul ... | 1983 | 6682436 |
| iron absorption from legumes in humans. | iron bioavailability in a variety of legumes was determined by radioisotopic measurements of iron absorption in human subjects. soybeans, black beans, lentils, mung beans, and split peas were prepared as soups, labeled by the extrinsic tag method, and served to fasting subjects. mean percentage absorption was uniformly low, ranging from 0.84 to 1.91%. differences in absorption between the means were not statistically significant. the results indicate that these five commonly eaten legumes are al ... | 1984 | 6741854 |
| studies on lectins. li. the role of mn2+ in the activity of the soybean lectin. | in contradistinction to previous reports, the lectin of soybeans (glycine soja) has been shown to retain its erythroagglutinating activity after complete removal of manganese from its molecule. the applied demetallization procedures (dialysis against 0.1 m hcl or 1m acetic acid and against 0.1 m edta following by dialysis against 1 m acetic acid) had no effect on the stability of the lectin subunit structure, as proved by ultracentrifugation analysis or thin-layer chromatography on sephadex g-20 ... | 1981 | 7197555 |
| evaluation of active versus passive uptake of metabolites by rhizobium japonicum bacteroids. | rhizobium japonicum bacteroids were isolated anaerobically from soybean [glycine max (l.) merr] nodules. the bacteroids, which were capable of acetylene reduction and respiration, were used to study the uptake of metabolites by a method which permits correction for nonspecific adsorption of metabolites and estimation of total cell volume. these determinations permit active uptake to be assessed from metabolite accumulation against a concentration gradient. succinate, malate, alpha-ketoglutarate, ... | 1984 | 6203891 |
| lectins as markers of human epidermal cell differentiation. | the expression of sugar residues on human epidermal cells was investigated by means of lectin binding, as a way of determining membrane structural changes occurring during the differentiation of the epidermis. fourteen lectins of different sugar specificity were conjugated with fluorescein isothiocyanate (fitc-lectins) and tested in fluorescence microscopy on frozen sections of normal human epidermis. in parallel, fitc-lectins were tested on psoriatic-involved epidermis to visualize differences ... | 1982 | 6816653 |
| effect of microwave heating of soybeans on protein quality. | the purpose of this study was to determine the protein quality of microwave cooked soybeans by the rat growth and protein efficiency ratio method (per). it was found that properly cooked, dry, hulled, whole soybean seeds had a per of 2.4 +/- .06 (mean +/- standard error) and a mean weekly weight gain of 21.2 +/- 1.1 which were equivalent to 2.53 +/- .10 and 18.3 +/- 1.0 g for casein, respectively. these data demonstrate the value of microwave cooked soybeans and suggest further research on the p ... | 1981 | 7199277 |
| availability to rats of zinc from soybean seeds as affected by maturity of seed, source of dietary protein, and soluble phytate. | male rats were used to assess the availability of zinc in soybean seeds (glycine max, var. 'amsoy') as affected by maturity of seed, dietary protein source, and exogenous dietary sodium phytate. seeds were harvested from either 84- (immature) or 120-day-old (mature) plants grown in 65zn-labeled nutrient solutions that contained either 0.066 or 0.262 ppm zinc as zinc sulfate. increased zinc supply to plants increased the zinc content of seeds; immature seeds had higher concentrations of zinc than ... | 1982 | 7200513 |
| protein quality and oil digestibility of lupinus mutabilis: metabolic studies in children. | the nutritional quality of lupins (lupinus mutabilis) for infants and children was evaluated in two sets of balance studies. in the first the digestibility and protein quality of diets based on lupin flour, with and without methionine supplementation, were compared with those of a control diet consisting of casein, sucrose and vegetable oil. apparent nitrogen absorption from lupin flour (81.8 and 84.3% of intake) was slightly but significantly less than that during casein control periods (87.2 a ... | 1983 | 6834148 |
