In legged animals, the muscle system has a dual function: to produce forces and torques necessary to move the limbs in a systematic way, and to maintain the body in a static position.These two functions are performed by the contribution of specialized motor units, i.e.motoneurons driving sets of specialized muscle fibres.With reference to their ove

The mechanism of the suppressive effect of rice albumin (RA) on postprandial hyperglycemia after Magnetic Strip glucose loading was investigated.In order to examine if small peptides derived from RA are responsible for prevention of postprandial hyperglycemia, RA was hydrolysed to indigestible high-molecular-weight peptides (HMP) and low-molecular-
Summary: Abrupt shifts between alternative regimes occur in complex systems, from cell regulation to brain functions to ecosystems.Several model-free early Cleaning Gloves warning signals (EWS) have been proposed to detect impending transitions, but failure or poor performance in some systems have called for better investigation of their generic ap
