TL;DR: In this paper, four starches (Carneval, Carrera, Grande and Keoma) of field pea (Pisum sativum L) were isolated and their physicochemical properties were compared with those of other legume starches.

TL;DR: The diminished force output suggests that the overload stresses required for strength training necessitate the inclusion of resistance training on stable surfaces, and electromyographic activity was detected with concentric vs. eccentric or isometric contractions.
Abstract: Swiss Balls used as a platform for training provide an unstable environment for force production The objective of this study was to measure differences in force output and electromyographic (EMG) activity of the pectoralis major, anterior deltoid, triceps, latissimus dorsi, and rectus abdominus for isometric and dynamic contractions under stable and unstable conditions Ten healthy male subjects performed a chest press while supported on a bench or a ball Unstable isometric maximum force output was 596% less than under stable conditions However, there were no significant differences in overall EMG activity between the stable and unstable protocols Greater EMG activity was detected with concentric vs eccentric or isometric contractions The decreased balance associated with resistance training on an unstable surface may force limb musculature to play a greater role in joint stability The diminished force output suggests that the overload stresses required for strength training necessitate the inclusion of resistance training on stable surfaces

TL;DR: The total phenolic content (TPC), total antioxidant status (TAS), free radical scavenging capacity, inhibition of low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and metal chelating capacity of extracts of whole black and whole white sesame seeds and their hull fractions in 80% aqueous ethanol were investigated.

TL;DR: This contribution will focus on the relevant literature on common and emerging edible oils as a source of tocols, among the most important lipid-soluble antioxidants in food as well as in human and animal tissues.
Abstract: Edible oils are the major natural dietary sources of tocopherols and tocotrienols, collectively known as tocols. Plant foods with low lipid content usually have negligible quantities of tocols. However, seeds and other plant food processing by-products may serve as alternative sources of edible oils with considerable contents of tocopherols and tocotrienols. Tocopherols are among the most important lipid-soluble antioxidants in food as well as in human and animal tissues. Tocopherols are found in lipid-rich regions of cells (e.g., mitochondrial membranes), fat depots, and lipoproteins such as low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Their health benefits may also be explained by regulation of gene expression, signal transduction, and modulation of cell functions. Potential health benefits of tocols include prevention of certain types of cancer, heart disease, and other chronic ailments. Although deficiencies of tocopherol are uncommon, a continuous intake from common and novel dietary sources of tocopherols and tocotrienols is advantageous. Thus, this contribution will focus on the relevant literature on common and emerging edible oils as a source of tocols. Potential application and health effects as well as the impact of new cultivars as sources of edible oils and their processing discards are presented. Future trends and drawbacks are also briefly covered.
