    Description / Table of Contents: Summary The α-tocopherol content of different meat cuts was examined. Chicken thigh had the highest vitamin E content, followed by chicken breast and pork shoulder (p〈0.05). The lowest concentrations were found in longissimus dorsi muscle from pork, beef, veal and in beef shoulder. Considering the average daily lean meat consumption (105 g) in Switzerland, recommendation for daily vitamin E intake was met to 3 %. Supplementation of 200 mg α-tocopherol acetate/kg feed to pigs and laying hens significantly increased the α-tocopherol content in all examined products. The α-tocopherol accumulation differed according to the following ranking: egg yolk 〉 liver 〉 adipose tissue 〉 musculus longissimus dorsi. The α-tocopherol:energy ratios were 28.8, 7.3, 0.9 and 1.2 mg/MJ for egg yolk, liver, adipose tissue and longissimus dorsi muscle of the vitamin E supplemented groups, respectively. The results showed that meat, with the exception of chicken thigh, is not an important supplier of vitamin E, not even from animals fed a vitamin E enriched diet. Egg yolk became a good source of vitamin E for human nutrition by dietary modification.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung In der vorliegenden Studie wurde der α-Tocopherolgehalt verschiedener Fleischstücke untersucht. Hähnchenschenkel hatte den höchsten α-Tocopherolgehalt, gefolgt von Hähnchenbrust und Schweineschulter (p〈0.05). Die niedrigsten Konzentrationen wurden im Musculus longissimus dorsi vom Schwein, Rind, Kalb und in der Rindsschulter nachgewiesen. Mit dem durchschnittlichen, täglichen Verzehr an magerem Fleisch (105 g) in der Schweiz wurden die Empfehlungen für die tägliche Vitamin E-Zufuhr zu 3 % gedeckt. Die Supplementierung des Schweine- und Legehennenfutters mit 200 mg α-Tocopherolacetat/kg führte zu einem signifikanten Anstieg des α-Tocopherolgehaltes in allen untersuchten Produkten. Die α-Tocopherolakkumulierung unterschied sich gemäß folgender Rangordnung: Eigelb 〉 Leber 〉 Fettgewebe 〉Musculus longissimus dorsi. Die Nährstoffdichten betrugen 28.8, 7.3, 0.9 und 1.2 mg α-Tocopherol/MJ für Eigelb, Leber, Fettgewebe und Musculus longissimus dorsi der jeweiligen mit Vitamin E supplementierten Gruppe. Diese Ergebnisse zeigen, daß Fleisch, mit Ausnahme des Hähnchenschenkels, von Tieren mit supplementierten Diäten kein bedeutender Vitamin E-Lieferant ist. Hingegen wurde Eigelb durch fütterungsbedingte Modifikation zu einer guten Vitamin E-Quelle.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Um den α2-adrenergen Einfluß auf die Wärmeproduktion (WP) zu untersuchen, wurden Jungbullen Umgebungstemperaturen von 4°C und 18° sowie Ernährungsintensitäten des 1,0 und 1,6-fachen des energetischen Erhaltungsbedarfs (MEm) ausgesetzt und präprandial der α2-adrenerge Agonist Clonidin verabreicht. Die präprandiale WP fiel nach Clonidingabe stark ab, am stärksten bei Tieren, die 4°C (1,6-fache des MEm) ausgesetzt waren. Die postprandiale WP stieg 5 h nach der Clonidininfusion bei diesen Tieren um das 1,3-fache der WP bei Verabreichung von physiologischer Salzlösung, während Tiere bei 18°C und 1,6-fachem an MEm nicht signifikant reagierten. Die WP-Stufen in den Umweltvarianten korrelierten nur schwach mit den Spiegeln an Glukose, freien Fettsäuren, Schilddrüsenhormonen und Kortisol, jedoch direkt und eng mit der Expression von Sulfonylharnstoffrezeptoren bei Monozyten. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, daß die WP maßgeblich von der α2-adrenergen Aktivität abhängt und deren regulatorische Funktion auch auf die Expression von Sulfonylharnstoff-rezeptoren gerichtet zu sein scheint.
    Notes: Summary To investigate the α2-adrenergic effect on the metabolic rate, young bulls were exposed to environmental variants (feeding levels of 1.0 and 1.6 times the MEm and ambient temperatures of 18°C and 4°C) and treated preprandially with a α2-adrenergic agonist (clonidine) in each case. The heat production (HP) was continuously measured by indirect calorimetry using climatized respiratory chambers. Post-clonidine, the preprandial HP fell in all variants but the strongest decrease occurred at 4°C, 1.6 times the MEm. The postprandial HP rose 1.3-fold the HP of animals received the carrier (saline) at 4°C, 1.6 times the MEm. Animals exposed to 18°C, 1.6-fold the MEm did not significantly increase the postprandial HP after clonidine administration, suggesting different sympathetic outflow corresponded to differing resting metabolic rate, occurring in the environmental variants. Circulating fuels (glucose, non-esterified fatty acids) responded to α2-adrenergic reduction of the sympathetic outflow but did not parallel the HP changes. Studies on monocytes revealed a linear correlation (r2〉0.9) between resting metabolic rate and expression of sulfonylurea receptors, the constitutive component of ATP-sensitive K+ channels (KATP) suggesting a function of KATP in coupling the systemic HP with cellular metabolism.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Mit steigender Aufnahme erhöht sich der Körperfettgehalt und der Körperproteingehalt nimmt ab. Es wird oft angenommen, daß jede Zunahme im Ansatz mit mehr Fett und weniger Protein verbunden ist. Experimentelle Ergebnisse widerlegen jedoch diese Annahme. In zwei Experimenten mit männlichen Broilerhühnern wurden die Tiere auf einem Niveau von 60 % und 100 % der empfohlenen Energieaufnahme gefüttert. Die Körperzusammensetzung bei 1500 g zeigte, wie erwartet, daß sich bei steigenden Aufnahmen der Körperfettgchalt vergrößert und der Körperproteingehalt abnimmt. Fettund Proteinansatz waren linear mit der totalen Energieretention (ER) korreliert. Das bedeutet, daß jede Zunahme im Ansatz den gleichen Protein- und Fettgehalt besitzt. Wenn der Fettansatz gleich Null ist wird nur Protein, etwa 50 % des maximalen Ansatzes, retiniert. Wenn ER=O ist, wird Protein angesetzt und Fett mobilisiert. Energie-und N-Bilanzuntersuchungen bestätigen die konstante Zusammensetzung jeder Vergrößerung des Ansatzes. Die Ergebnisse beider Experimente zeigen, daß die ER aus zwei Komponenten besteht: einem basalen konstanten täglichen Proteinansatz und einer variablen zusätzlichen ER, die hauptsächlich aus Fett besteht. Der basale Proteinansatz beträgt etwa 50 % des maximalen Ansatzes. Mit steigenden Energieaufnahmen wird der basale Proteinansatz mit einer zusätzlichen Menge von Protein und Fett im konstanten Verhältnis ergänzt.
    Notes: Summary With increasing intakes the body fat content increases and that of protein decreases. It is most often assumed that this is brought about because each increment in retention contains more fat and less protein. Experimental results, however, showed that this explanation is not true. In two experiments male broiler chickens were fed at levels between 60 and 100 % of recommended energy intake. Body composition at 1500 g showed, as expected, that with increasing intakes body fat content increased and protein content decreased. Both fat and protein retention per day were linearly related to total energy retention (ER). This means that each increment in retention has the same protein and fat content. At zero fat retention only protein was retained, about 50 % of maximal retention. At zero ER protein was retained and fat mobilized. Energy and N balance experiments confirmed the constant composition of each increment in retention. The results of both experiments show that total ER consisted of two components: a basic constant daily protein retention and a variable additional ER, mainly consisting of fat. The basic protein retention is about half of maximal retention. With increasing energy intakes the basic protein retention is combined with an additional amount of protein and fat in a constant ratio.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Für die Bestimmung des Gesamtenergieumsatzes wurde eine neuartige2H/1H-und18O/16O-Äquilibriereinheit getestet, optimiert und eingesetzt. Es konnte gezeigt werden, daß übergewichtige Frauen und Männer, verglichen mit schlanken Probanden, sowohl erhöhte Ruhe-Nüchternumsätze, als auch erhöhte Gesamtenergieumsätze aufweisen. Der physical activity level (PAL)-Index weist tendenziell eine Verminderung auf, was eine erniedrigte physische Aktivität bei Übergewichtigen vermuten läßt.
    Notes: Summary A new2H/1H and18O/16O equilibration device was tested, standardized and employed for the determination of total energy expenditure. It was shown that overweight men and women have increased resting metabolic rate as well as increased total energy expenditure when compared to their lean counterparts. The physical activity level (PAL)index was slightly decreased which possibly suggests a decreased physical activity in obese people.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Bei Nerzen (6 Kontrollitere (Gruppe I) und 12 reichlich gefütterten weiblichen Tieren (Gruppe II) wurde die Nährstoffoxidation aus Respirationsmessungen berechnet. Die Gaswechselmessungen erfolgten in 6 aufeinanderfolgenden einwöchigen Versuchsperioden. Die Energieversorgung für die Gruppe I und II betrug in der Periode 1 und 6 ca. 850 kJ ME/d, während der Restriktion und der Fütterung auf hohem Niveau betrug sie 450 bzw. 1300 kJ ME/d. Während der gesamten Versuchsperiode war die Energieaufnahme für beide Gruppen vergleichbar. Es gab aber signifikante Unterschieded zwischen den Perioden bei der Gruppe II. Die Mittelwerte der Protein-, Kohlenhydrat-und Fettoxidation betrugen 39%, 38% und 21% von der totalen Wärmeproduktion (WP) in der Gruppe I. Während der Restriktion betrug die Proteinoxidation bei der Gruppe II ca. 35% der WP. Während der ersten Periode der Fütterung auf hohem Niveau wuchs dieser Wert auf 55%. Während der Restriktion wurde eine hohe Fettoxidation gemessen, weil die Fettmobilisierung anstieg. Die Fettoxidation war niedrig, wenn die Futterzufuhr reichlich war. Es wird daraus geschlußfolgert, daß die Berechnungsmethode geeignete Aussagen liefert. Einige Nachteile der Methode werden diskutiert.
    Notes: Summary Nutrient oxidation was calculated from gas exchange measurements for 6 control and 12 flush fed female mink, measured in six consecutive, one week periods. The energy supply to controls and flushed animals in periods 1 and 6 was ca 850 kJ ME/day, and during restriction and flush feeding, it was ca 450 kJ ME/day and ca 1300 kJ ME/day, respectively. Over the total experimental period the energy intake was similar in both groups, but it differed significantly between periods in the flushed group. Protein, fat, and carbohydrate oxidation averaged 39, 38, and 21%, of the total heat production (HP), respectively in the control group. During restriction, protein oxidation was ca 35% of HP in flushed animals, then increasing to 55% of HP during the first period of refeeding. High values for fat oxidation were recorded during restriction because of fat mobilization and values were low when feed supply was ample. It was concluded that the calculation method was a good indicative method, but some short-comings were discussed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Der Anstieg der Inzidenz von Nierenzellkarzinomen in den westlichen Ländern erfordert eine besondere Beachtung der Ätiologie dieses Tumors. Ernährung und das Erkrankungsrisiko für ein Nierenzellkarzinom könnten assoziiert sein, da Übergewicht als Risikofaktor für diese Erkrankung in vielen Studien identifiziert werden konnte. Eine Fall-Kontrollstudie mit 277 inzidenten Nierenkrebsfällen (ICD 189.0) und 286 bevölkerungsbezogenen Kontrollpersonen wurde im Rhein-Neckar-Odenwald-Raum, Deutschland, in der Zeit von 1989–1991 durchgeführt. Das Studienprotokoll umfaßte zunächst ein persönliches Interview über demographische Variablen, frühere Erkrankungen, Medikamenteneinnahme, Rauchen, Berufshistorie, berufsbedingte Expositionen, Getränkeaufnahme und Übergewicht. Zusätzlich wurden alle Studienteilnehmer gefragt, ob sie einen selbstausfüllbaren Häufigkeitsfragebogen mit 122 Nahrungsmitteln ausfüllen würden, um die Nahrungsaufnahme abzuschätzen. 65 % der Fälle und 74 % der Kontrollpersonen beteiligten sich an diesem Studienteil (N=155 Fälle und 212 Kontrollpersonen). Dies waren 47 % der studienrelevanten Fälle (N=328) und 56 % der Kontrollpersonen (N=381). Es konnte keine auffällige Auswahlverzerrung beobachtet werden in bezug auf Altersgruppe, Geschlecht, sozioökonomischen Status oder BMI bei der in diesen Studienteil einbezogenen Gruppe im Vergleich zu allen Fällen und Kontrollpersonen. Die relative Risiken (RR) für verschiedene Aspekte der Nahrungsaufnahme zeigten ein signifikant erhöhtes Risiko mit einer erhöhten Aufnahme von Streichfetten/Soßen (RR der hohen Aufnahme im Vergleich zur niedrigen Aufnahme: 1.90 (95 % Konfidenzintervall (95 % KI) 1.08–3.32)). Ein erhöhtes RR wurde für die Aufnahme von Fleisch und Fleischwaren beobachtet (RR der hohen Aufnahme im Vergleich zur niedrigen Aufnahme 1.71 (95 % KI 0.96–3.04)) und für energieadjustierte Fettaufnahme (RR einer hohen Aufnahme im Vergleich zu einer niedrigen Aufnahme: 1.64 (95 % KI 0.95–2.83)). Ein vermindertes RR fand sich bei einer erhöhten Aufnahme von Obst (RR einer hohen Aufnahme im Vergleich zu einer niedrigen Aufnahme: 0.40 (95 % KI 0.23–0.96)) und der Vitamin-C-Aufnahme (RR einer hohen Aufnahme im Vergleich zu einer niedrigen Aufnahme 0.62 (95 % KI 0.37–1.05)). Die Aufnahme von Getränken, Zubereitungsmethoden und andere Angaben zum Ernährungsverhalten waren nicht mit dem Risiko des Nierenzellkarzinoms assoziiert. Die RR für den Verzehr von Streichfetten/Soßen und Vitamin C wurden in zwei Modellen getestet, mit und ohne BMI als Kovariable. In beiden Modellen ergaben sich signifikante Beziehungen zwischen den Ernährungsvariablen und dem Risiko eines Nierenzellkarzinom. Diese Resultate geben Hinweise, daß bestimmte Ernährungsmuster in Verbindung mit Übergewicht herangezogen werden können, um das Auftreten von Nierenzellkarzinomen in industrialisierten Ländern zu erklären.
    Notes: Summary Increasing incidence of renal cell carcinoma in Western countries raises particular attention to its etiology. Diet may be related to risk for renal cell carcinoma since obesity has been linked with this malignant condition. A case-control study with 277 incident renal cell cancer patients (ICD 189.0) and 286 population controls was conducted in the Rhein-Neckar-Odenwald area, Germany, in the period of 1989 to 1991. The core study protocol included a face-to-face interview about demographical parameters, previous diseases, medication, tobacco smoking, occupational history, occupational exposures, beverage consumption, and obesity. In addition, study participants were asked to fill in a self-administered food frequency questionnaire with 122 food items to estimate overall food intake. Fifty-six % of the cases and 74 % of the controls participated in this part of the study (n=155 cases and 212 controls). This was 47 % of the original cases (n=328) and 56 % of the controls (n=381). No selection bias could be identified with regard to age group, gender, educational status or recent BMI in the analyzed group compared with the eligible cases and controls. Relative risk (RR) estimates for tertiles of consumption revealed a significantly increased risk with increasing intake of fat spread (RR of high intake compared to low intake: 1.90 (95 % CI 1.08–3.32)). Increased risk was also found for intake of meat and meat products (RR of high intake compared to low intake: 1.71 (95 % CI 0.96–3.04)) and energy adjusted fat (RR of high intake compared to low intake: 1.64 (95 % CI 0.95–2.83)). A decreased risk was seen with increasing intake of fruit (RR of high intake compared to low intake: 0.40 (95 % CI 0.23–0.69)) and of vitamin C (RR of high intake compared to low intake: 0.62 (95 % CI 0.37–1.05)). Beverage consumption, preparation of food and eating pattern were not linked with risk of renal cell cancer. The relative risk estimates of spreading fat (sauce and vitamin C intake were tested in two models, with and without including BMI as covariate. In both models significant associations of these nutritional variables with risk for renal cell cancer remained. The current results indicate that specific food pattern associated with obesity explain differences in incidence of renal cell carcinoma in industrialized countries.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary A dietary survey using weighted 3-day-records was carried out in the sample of the third MONICA risk-factor survey in the Thuringian city of Erfurt (eastern Germany) in 1991/92. The aim was to collect detailed intake data in a defined population after the first phase of consolidation on the food market after the German reunification. The dietary sample consisted of 1 118 men and 1 179 women aged 20–64 years; we received 469 acceptable records from men and 333 from women. The German national nutrient datafile BLS (version 2.1) was used to code the records and for the transformation into nutrients. Mean energy intake in men was 2 624 kcal per day, 15.3 % came from protein, 40.0 % from fat, 38.5 % from carbohydrates and 6.0 % from alcohol. Corresponding figures for women were 1 916 kcal per day, 15.8 %, 40.5 %, 41.5 % and 2.1 %. Only a small percentage of participants achieved the recommendations of the German Society for Nutrition for the intake of selected nutrients.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Bei der dritten MONICA Querschnittsstudie in der Stadt Erfurt wurde 1991/92 an einer Stichprobe von 1 118 Männern und 1 179 Frauen im Alter von 20 bis 64 Jahren eine Ernährungserhebung mit offenen 3-Tage-Wiegeprotokollen durchgeführt. Ziel war es u.a., Daten zur Nährstoffzufuhr einer definierten Bevölkerung nach der ersten Phase der Konsolidierung des Lebensmittelmarktes kurz nach der deutschen Wiedervereinigung zu erheben. Von 469 Männern und 333 Frauen konnten Protokolle ausgewertet werden. Zur Kodierung und Transformation in Nährstoffe wurde die Nährwertdatenbank BLS (Version 2.1) verwendet. Die Energiezufuhr beträgt bei den Männern 2 624 kcal pro Tag, davon stammen 15,3 % aus Protein, 40,0 % aus Fett, 38,5 % aus Kohlenhydraten und 6,0 % aus Alkohol. Die entsprechenden Werte für die Frauen sind 1 916 kcal pro Tag, 15,8 %, 40,5 %, 41,5 % und 2,1 %. Nur ein geringer Anteil der Teilnehmer und Teilnehmerinnen erfüllte die Empfehlungen der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Ernährung für die Zufuhr ausgewählter Nährstoffe.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Mean dietary intake calculated from 25 7-day-food records by means of the three nutrient data bases modified Souci/Fachmann/Kraut (mSFK) 1986/87, extract of Bundeslebensmittelschlüssel (BLS) version 2.1, and extract of BLS version 2.2 revealed comparable results only for four of 27 nutrients considered. The greatest deviations were found for zink, fluoride, iodine, vitamin D, vitamin C, and dietary fiber. Comparing the revised BLS version 2.2 and mSFK, the differences in fluoride, iodine and dietary fiber intake data were markedly lower than found with the comparison of BLS 2.1 and mSFK; statistically significant differences no longer existed for the vitamins C and A (equivalents). As expected, using the mSFK data base with some missing fields for analytical data underestimation of nutrient intake could be shown for the trace elements zink, fluoride and iodine. With regard to the given results of the investigated group, care has to be taken with some nutrient intake data gathered by means of BLS 2.1, too.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die Berechnung der durchschnittlichen Nährstoffzufuhr aus 25 7-Tage-Ernährungsprotokollen von Mittelschwerarbeitern mit den drei Nährstoff-Datenbanken modifizierter Souci/Fachmann/Kraut 1986/87 (mSFK; unter prodi 3 plus), Extrakt aus Bundeslebensmittelschlüssel (BLS) Version 2.1 und Extrakt aus BLS Version 2.2 zeigte nur für 4 von 27 überprüften Nährstoffen übereinstimmende Ergebnisse. Die größten Abweichungen ergaben sich bei Zink, Fluor, Jod, Vitamin D, Vitamin C und Ballaststoffen. Bei Verwendung der überarbeiteten BLS-Version 2.2 und mSFK waren im Gegensatz zum Vergleich von BLS 2.1 und mSFK die Unterschiede bei den Nährstoffen Fluor, Jod und Ballaststoffe deutlich geringer, aber weiterhin statistisch signifikant; keine Signifikanz bestand mehr bei Vitamin C und Retinol-Äquivalenten. Die häufig angemahnte Unterschätzung der Spurenelementaufnahme aufgrund fehlender Analysenwerte bei Verwendung von mSFK bestätigte sich für Zink, Fluor und Jod. Anhand der Ergebnisse der hier untersuchten Personengruppe sind ebenso einige mit der Datenbank BLS 2.1 gewonnenen Nährstoffzufuhrdaten mit Vorsicht zu betrachten.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Dietary intake oftrans fatty acids (TFA) has recently been linked to the incidence of coronary heart disease. Partially hydrogenated oils and milk and depot fat of ruminant animals are widely regarded as the major sources of dietary TFA. Data concerning TFA contents of industrially prepared food, so-called convenience food, are, however, scarce. Therefore, the fatty acid composition of 52 canned meat products, 51 dry products (soups and sauces), 51 bakery products and snacks, and 74 ready prepared meals (canned or deep-frozen) was examined by gas/liquid chromatography. Canned meat products or prepared meals are no major sources for dietary TFA. Both product groups provided less than 1 g/100 g meat or serving. Contrary to this, dried food items may contain up to 9 g TFA/100 g product.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die alimentäre Aufnahme vontrans-Fettsäuren (TFS) wurde in jüngster Vergangenheit mit dem Auftreten von Herz-Kreislauferkankungen in kausalen Zusammenhang gebracht. Als Hauptquelle für TFS werden teilgehärtete Öle und Milch- bzw. Körperfett von Wiederkäuern angesehen. Über TFS-Gehaltszahlen in industriell hergestellten Fertigprodukten liegen jedoch wenige Daten vor. Im Rahmen dieser Erhebung wurden bei Proben von 52 eingedosten Fleischwaren, 51 Trokkenprodukten (Suppen, Saucen, Würzmischung), 51 Backwaren (Kuchen, Kekse, Snackprodukte) und 74 Proben kommerziell erhältlicher Fertigmenüs (eingedost bzw. tiefgekühlt) das Fettsäuremuster gaschromatographisch bestimmt. In Fleischwaren und Fertigmenüs lag der TFS-Gehalt überwiegend unter 1 g/100 g Fleischware bzw. Menüportion. Suppenwürfel und-pulver sowie Saucen können einen nicht unerheblichen Gehalt an TFS aufweisen (bis zu 9 g/100 g Produkt).

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Nach dem Genuß von sechs zucker- und/oder stärkehaltigen Nahrungsmitteln (Schokoladenriegel, Kartoffelchips, gefüllter Keks, Würfelzucker, Rosinen und Geleebohnen) wurde der Kohlenhydratabbau und die Säureproduktion im Mund über zwei Stunden verfolgt und analysiert. Jedes Nahrungsmittel wurde an acht Probanden in Zeitintervallen von 30 min untersucht. Die Freisetzung von Glukose und die Bildung von Milchsäure im Mund wurden mittels HPLC-Analyse qualitativ und quantitativ über zwei Stunden verfolgt und statistisch ausgewertet. Innerhalb der ersten 30 Minuten wurde Milchsäure in folgender Rangordnung produziert: (höchster Wert) Rosinen 〉 Schokoladenriegel 〉 Würfelzucker 〉 Geleebohnen 〉 gefüllter Keks 〉 Kartoffelchips (niedrigster Wert); nach 120 Minuten änderte sich diese Rangordnung wie folgt: Kartoffelchips 〉 Geleebohnen 〉 Würfelzucker 〉 Schokoladenriegel 〉 gefüllter Keks 〉 Rosinen. Die Menge der produzierten Milchsäure war linear abhängig von der Menge der von den Speisen freigesetzten Glukose. Gekochte Stärke wurde im Mund über Maltotriose und Maltose zu Glukose abgebaut. Klebrige (zuckerhaltige) Nahrungsmittel (Schokoladenriegel) verlassen die Mundhöhle schneller als Nahrungsmittel, die gekochte Stärke enthalten (Kartoffelchips); letztere produzieren daher über einen längeren Zeitraum (2 h) im Munde mehr Milchsäure.
    Notes: Summary Oral carbohydrate clearance and acid production were monitored over a two hour time period following the ingestion of six foods (chocolate bar, potato chip, oreo cookie, sugar cube, raisin and jelly bean). Each food was evaluated intra-orally in eight volunteers. Oral fluid samples were obtained from each volunteer at 30 min intervals at five different tooth sites using absorbent paper points. The oral fluid samples were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively for carbohydrates and organic acids using high performance liquid chromatography. Data obtained for each food were averaged and subjected to statistical analysis. The quantity of lactic acid produced 30 min after ingestion was found to be in the following order: (highest) raisin 〉 chocolate bar 〉 sugar cube 〉 jelly bean 〉 oreo cookie 〉 potato chip (least). Two hours after food intake the order had changed significantly: potato chip 〉 jelly bean 〉 sugar cube 〉 chocolate bar 〉 oreo cookie 〉 raisin. A direct linear relationship existed between lactic acid production and the presence of glucose. In foods containing cooked starch prolonged clearance occurs via the intermediate metabolites maltotriose, maltose and glucose. Results indicated that the term ‘stickiness’, when used to label certain foods such as jelly bean and chocolate bar, should be used cautiously. Foods containing only cooked starch or cooked starch and sugars can be considered as ‘sticky’, since glucose arising from their intra-oral degradation contributed to acid production over prolonged periods of time.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die belastungsbedingte Ausscheidung von Stickstoff über den Schweiss wurde während eines mit moderater Intensität durchgeführten 45-Minuten-Laufes auf einem Laufband bestimmt. Schweissproben wurden mittels einer lokalen Sammelmethode mit Gazen und zum Vergleich mit dem Ganzkörper-Waschverfahren entnommen. In der lokalen Methode wurde der Schweiss vom oberen und unteren Rücken, Bauch und Oberschenkel gesammelt. Während eines zweiten 45-Minuten-Laufes wurde zusätzlich das Verhältnis von Harnstoff, Ammoniak und Aminosäuren im Schweiss analysiert. Es konnte eine von der Sammelmethode unabhängige, signifikant positive Korrelation zwischen Schweissrate und Ausscheidungsrate der grössten Stickstoffraktion im Schweiss (Harnstoff) beobachtet werden. Dies lässt den Schluss zu, dass die Schweissrate einer der wesentlichen Faktoren ist, der die Stickstoffverluste im Schweiss festlegt. Die Ausscheidungsrate des Harnstoffstickstoffes betrug im zweiten Lauf etwa 140 mg·h−1, die des Ammoniakstickstoffes etwa 30 mg·h−1 und die des Aminosäurenstickstoffes rund 10 mg·h−1. Der Vergleich beider Sammelmethoden während des ersten Laufes zeigte, dass die Ausscheidungsrate des Harnstoffstickstoffes im Ganzkörper-Waschverfahren signifikant höher, die des Ammoniakstickstoffes dagegen signifikant niedriger war. Dieser Unterschied zwischen den Methoden verschwand, nachdem Harnstoff- und Ammoniakstickstoff summiert wurden, ausser für den oberen Rücken. Die Bestimmung von belastungsbedingten Stickstoffverlusten über den Schweiss mittels der lokalen Sammelmethode kann für mit moderater Intensität durchgeführten Läufe empfohlen werden.
    Notes: Summary The exercise-induced sweat nitrogen excretion was investigated during a 45-minute run at moderate intensity on a treadmill. Sweat was collected with a regional collection technique using gauze pads and compared with the whole-body wash-down (WBW) method. In the regional collection, sweat was sampled from the upper back (UB), lower back (LB), abdomen (AB), and thigh (TH). Additionally, the relation of sweat urea, ammonia, and amino acids was investigated with the regional collection method during a second 45-minute run. Independent of the sweat collection method, a significant and positive correlation was found between sweat rate and the excretion rate of the largest nitrogen fraction urea, suggesting that the sweating response to exercise might be one of the most important factors determining absolute sweat nitrogen losses. The urea nitrogen excretion was nearly 140 mg·h−1 in the second run, representing the largest nitrogen fraction. Ammonia nitrogen and amino acid-derived nitrogen rate were approximately 30 mg·h−1 and 10 mg·h−1, respectively. The comparison of the sampling methods during the first run revealed that the urea nitrogen rate was significantly higher, but the ammonia nitrogen rate significantly lower in the WBW. After summing urea and ammonia nitrogen, no significant difference between the methods was observed anymore, except for UB. It is concluded that the regional collection method using gauze pads is a valuable approach to measure exercise-induced sweat nitrogen losses during moderate running exercise.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary We investigated the goiter prevalence and the urinary iodine excretion of 2 109 young people between 10 and 18 years in the district of Mecklengurg-Vorpommern, Germany in 1995/96. The thyroid volume was determined by ultrasound (7,5 MHz), the iodine excretion by a modified cer-arsenit method. The daily iodine excretion as related to the body surface area and the age related creatinine excretion per 24 h were measured. The results were compared with those of a similar study from 1993 in the same region and the same range of age. The goiter prevalence in 1997 amounted to 18.5 %. Among the studied persons 3.6 % showed one or more nodules within their thyroid gland. The iodine excretion increased from 70 µg in 1993 to 95 µg in 1997. There were no changes in the individual nutritional habits (expecially iodine-containing foods, using iodized salt etc.). We believe that the raised iodine intake is the result of a higher iodine supply in the commercially produced foodstuffs and animal products due to an increased incorporation of iodine in manufacture of food products.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Wir untersuchten 1995/96 2109 Kinder und Jugendliche im Alter zwischen 10 und 18 Jahren in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern hinsichtlich der Strumaprävalenz (sonographische Volumetrie) und der Urinjodidausscheidung (Cer-Arsenit-Methode) als Maß für die tägliche alimentäre Jodaufnahme und verglichen die Ergebnisse mit denen einer altersgleichen Population aus demselben Bundesland aus dem Jahre 1993. Die aktuelle Strumaprävalenz beträgt 18,5 %, der Anteil intrathyreoidaler Knoten 3,6 %. Die Jodidurie stieg von 70 µg 1993 auf 95 µg 1995/96 an. Die Ernährungsgewohnheiten und Zufuhr besonderer Jodidträger (jodiertes Speisesalz, medikamentöse Jodidstrumaprophylaxe) änderten sich im genannten Zeitraum nicht. Als Ursache der verbesserten, aber noch nicht ausreichenden alimentären Jodversorgung vermuten wir eine höhere Akzeptanz des Einsatzes von Jodsalz bzw. Jodträgern in der professionellen Lebensmittelherstellung und in der Landwirtschaft.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Ziel der vorliegenden Studie war es, die Wirkung variierender Thiaminzulagen (Mangel bis Überschuß) in der Diät auf den Thiaminstatus laktierender Ratten und deren Nachkommen sowie auf den Thiaminspiegel der Milch zu untersuchen. Dazu wurden Ratten nach dem Werfen in 8 Gruppen (à 10 Tiere) eingeteilt, die während der Laktation über einen Zeitraum von 13 Tagen eine Diät mit 0, 2, 4, 6, 7, 40, 350 und 3 500 mg Thiamin/kg erhielten. Milch für die Bestimmung der Thiaminkonzentration wurde am 6. und 13. Laktationstag gewonnen. Am 14. Laktationstag wurden von allen Muttertieren und Würfen zur Ermittlung des Thiaminstatus die Aktivität der Transketolase in Blut, Leber und Gehirn sowie die Thiaminkonzentrationen im Körper gemessen. Die variierenden Thiaminzulagen beeinflußten innerhalb von 13 Tagen sowohl den Thiaminstatus der laktierenden Ratten als auch den der Nachkommen. Thiamin-frei ernährte Ratten zeigten Thiaminmangelsymptome auf der Basis von Wachstumsminderung und erniedrigten Transketolaseaktivitäten in Blut, Leber und Gehirn. Dabei reagierte die Transketolase im Blut sensibler auf eine Thiaminunterversorgung als in Geweben und erreichte ein Plateau bei einer Zufuhr von 6 mg/kg Thiamin. Die Thiaminkonzentration in der Milch lag in einem Bereich zwischen 0,1 und 19 mg/kg. Verglichen mit anderen Geweben reagierte die Milch beider Laktationsabschnitte am stärksten auf eine Thiaminunter- bzw. -überversorgung. Darüber hinaus konnte eine fehlende oder suboptimale Thiaminversorgung nicht durch einen verstärkten Übertritt von Thiaminreserven aus dem Körper in die Milch kompensiert werden. Auch die Thiaminspiegel in den Geweben und im Restkörper erhöhten sich mit steigender Thiaminzufuhr, wobei sich die Dosisabhängigkeit, die jedoch kein eindeutiges Sättigungsverhalten zeigte, in Blut und Leber stärker widerspiegelte als im Restkörper.
    Notes: Summary This study was conducted to examine the effect of dietary thiamin, ranging from deficient to excessive supplies, on thiamin status of lactating rats and their offspring, and the thiamin level in milk. Therefore, after parturition, rat dams were divided into eight groups of 10 each, and were fed diets with 0, 2, 4, 6, 7, 40, 350 and 3 500 mg/kg thiamin over a total of 13 days during lactation. Milk for determining the thiamin concentration was obtained from day 6 and 13 of lactation. At day 14 of lactation rat dams and their offspring were used to ascertain the thiamin status including transketolase activity of blood, liver and brain, and thiamin concentration in body. Thiamin supplies ranging from deficient to excessive dietary concentrations influenced both the thiamin levels of the lactating dams and their offspring within 13 days. Lactating rat dams fed a thiamin-free diet and their offspring were classified as thiamin-deficient on the basis of growth retardation and a lower activity of transketolase in blood, liver and brain. Within these variables transketolase in blood has been shown to be most sensitive, and reached a plateau feeding 6 mg/kg thiamin. The concentration of thiamin in milk ranged between 0.1 and 19 mg/kg. The findings also show that dietary thiamin had the strongest effect on thiamin in milk obtained from day 6 and 13 of lactation, and a deficient or suboptimal supply with thiamin was therefore not compensated for an intensified transfer of reserved body thiamin into milk. Also thiamin levels in tissues and carcass, which did not show any clear-cut saturation characteristic, increased with increasing dietary thiamin, and this dose-dependence was more marked in blood and liver than in carcass.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Bei kastrierten männlichen Schweinen, die eine proteinfreie Nahrung und intravenös entweder mit Kochsalzlösung (SAI) oder ein Aminosäurengemisch erhielten, wurde die tägliche Aminosäurenausschüttung (AAI) im Ileuminhalt bestimmt. Mit der wasserlöslichen und in Ethanol ausfällbaren Fraktion des Ileuminhalts (Gesamtmucin) (CM) wurde die Zusammensetzung von Mucin im Ileuminhalt gemessen. Diese Fraktion wies eine für Mucin charakteristische Kohlegydratzusammensetzung und einen hohen Gehalt an Treonin, Serin und Prolin (40 mol/100 mol). Die Anteile an Mucinen aus dem Magen und Darm betrugen 27 bezw. 73 % und wurden nach dem Verhältnis zwischen N-Acetylgalactosamin (GiNAc):N-Acetylgalactosamin (GalNAc) im CM ermittelt. Die täglichen Ausschüttungen an löslichem Mucin betrugen bei den SAI- bzw. AAI-Schweinen (p=0,13) und wurden aus den Gal-NAc-Exkretionen im CM bestimmt, wobei die obengenannten Anteile der Magen- und Darmmucine angenommen wurden. Die bestimmten löslichen Mucinausschüttungen im CM bestanden zu mehr als 90 % aus Fucose, Galactose, GaINAc und GlcNAc. Die Gesamtausschüttungen an Mucin im Ileuminhalt beliefen sich bei den SAI- bzw. AAI-Schweinen (p=0,24) auf 5,32 und 5,56 g/Tag und wurden aus der Gesamtausschüttung aus dem Ileuminhalt ermittelt, wobei davon ausgegangen wurde, daß lösliches und unlösliches Mucin die gleichen Zusammensetzungen aufwies. Basierend auf diesen Ausschüttungen, entsprach Mucin im Ileuminhalt ca. 30,7 bis 22, 15 und 11 % Threonin, Prolin, Serin und Protein. Annähernd 74, 76, 100 bezw. 53 % Fucose, Galactose, GAINAc und GlcNAc des Ileuminhalts entfielen in dieser Studie an Schweinen auf Mucin. Die Untersuchungsergebnisse der Studie unterstreichen die Bedeutung von Mucin als Lieferant von endogenen Aminosäuren und endogenen Kohlehydraten.
    Notes: Abstract Daily outputs of mucin in ileal digesta were estimated in three barrows fed a protein-free diet while administered either saline (SAI) or a complete amino acid mixture (AAI) intravenously. The water soluble-ethanol precipitable fraction of ileal digesta (crude mucin; CM) was used to estimate the composition of mucin in ileal digesta. This fraction exhibited a carbohydrate composition characteristic of mucin and had a high threonine, serine and proline content (40 mol/100 mol). The proportions of soluble gastric and intestinal mucins, approximately 27 and 73 %, respectively, were estimated from the N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc)/N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) ratio in CM. The daily outputs of soluble mucin, 2.75 and 3.41 g/day from SAI and AAI pigs (p=0.13), respectively, were determined from the GalNAc outputs in CM, assuming the above contributions of gastric and intestinal mucins. The estimated soluble mucin outputs accounted for more than 99 % of the fucose, galactose, GalNAc and GlcNAc in CM. Total mucin outputs in ileal digesta, 5.32 and 5.65 g/day from SAI and AAI Pigs (p=0.24), respectively, were determined from the total GalNAc output in digesta, assuming soluble and insoluble mucin had similar compositions. Based on these outputs, mucin represented approximately 30, 7 to 22, 15 and 11 % of the endogenous threonine, proline, serine and protein, respectively, in ileal digesta. Approximately 74, 76, 100 and 53 % of the fucose, galactose GalNAc and GlcNAc, respectively, in ileal digesta from pigs in this study was attributed to mucin. The results from this study demonstrate the importance of mucin as a source of some endogenous amino acids and carbohydrates.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Aus theoretischen Betrachtungen heraus sollten Tiere mit einem höheren Protein-Fett-Verhältnis einen höheren Energieerhaltungsbedarf (EEB) haben. Die Literatur zu diesem Problem zeigt ein nicht einheitliches Bild mit von dieser Annahme abweichenden Ergebnissen. Aus den vorliegenden Ergebnissen einer Reihe von Versuchen ist es möglich, die Wärmeproduktion (WP) von männlichen und weiblichen Tieren der Rasse Vietnamesisches Hängebauchschwein zu vergleichen, die sich in ihrer Körperzusammensetzung stark unterscheiden. Das Protein-Fett-Verhältnis betrug für die männlichen Tiere 1,2 und für die weiblichen 0,2. In die Experimente waren 4 männliche und 4 weibliche Tiere im Lebendmassebereich von 20–33 kg bzw. 33–42 kg einbezogen. Die WP-Messungen wurden auf zwei Energieeinnahmeniveaus bei Umgebungstemperaturen von 6 °C, 12 °C, 18 °C, 24 °C, 30 °C und 35 °C in klimatisierten Respirationskammern vorgenommen. Die Abhängigkeit der WP wird durch eine kubische Regressionsfunktion dargestellt. Die thermoneutralen Temperaturen sind bei den weiblichen Tieren niedriger, bedingt durch die höhere Isolationswirkung der Fettauflage. Der durch die stark unterschiedliche Körperzusammensetzung erwartete Unterschied in der WP wurde nicht gefunden. Die absolute Proteinmasse bestimmt im wesentlichen die Korrelation zur WP. Allerdings vergrößert sich die Differenz infolge unterschiedlicher thermoregulatorischer WP bei Absenkung der Umgebungstemperatur. Es werden Einflußgrößen auf die WP diskutiert.
    Notes: Summary From theoretical considerations animals with a higher protein-fat ratio in the body should have a higher maintenance energy requirement (MEm). The literature on this problem shows a non-uniform picture with deviating results. From the results of a series of experiments it is possible to compare the heat production (HP) of male and female animals of the Vietnamese Sway-back breed pigs which vary quite widely in their body composition. The protein-fat ratio was 1.2 for the male and 0.2 for the female animals. In the experiments 4 male and 4 female animals in the live weight range of 20–33 kg and 33–42 kg, respectively, were involved. The HP measurements were carried out in climatized respiration chambers on two levels of energy intake at ambient temperatures of 6 °C, 12 °C, 18 °C, 24 °C, 30 °C, and 35 °C. The dependence of PH on the ambient temperature has been described by a cubic regression function. Thermoneutral temperatures are lower in the female animals caused by the better insulation effect of the backfat. The difference in HP which was expected by the large difference in body composition, was not found. The absolute protein mass determined the correlation to HP. Certainly the difference increased after lowering the ambient temperature. The influence of different factors on HP is discussed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Nicht invasive bildgebende Verfahren wie die Positronen-Emissions-Tomographie (PET) erweitern unsere Kenntnisse über den Glukosestoffwechsel. Sie erfassen sowohl die Nettoaufnahme der Glukose in den Muskel als auch die Dynamik des Glukosestoffwechsels (i.e. Transport und Phosphorylierung der Glukose). Darüber hinaus kann die Muskeldurchblutung als mögliche Determinante des Glukosestoffwechsels mit der PET-Technik gemessen werden.
    Notes: Summary Non invasive imaging techniques, such as, positronemission tomography (PET), contribute to our present knowledge of glucose metabolism. Besides measurements of net glucose metabolism, PET provides insights into complex processes of intracellular glucose metabolism (i.e., glucose transport and phosphorylation) and is also capable to measure muscular blood flow as a possible determinant of glucose metabolism.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Richtwerte zur Zufuhr an Energie für Bevölkerungsgruppen werden in Höhe des durchschnittlichen Energiebedarfs ohne Sicherheitszuschläge festgelegt. Dadurch soll das Risiko einer unangemessenen Energiezufuhr minimiert werden. Der durchschnittliche Energiebedarf und somit die Richtwerte zur Energiezufuhr können über Daten zur Energiezufuhr oder über die Bestimmung des Energieverbrauchs ermittelt werden. Im vorliegenden Artikel werden die aktuellen Richtwerte zur Energiezufuhr von insgesamt 12 Ländern, der FAO/WHO/UNU und dem wissenschaftlichen Lebensmittelausschuß der Europäischen Union (SCF/EC) hinsichtlich ihrer Höhe und zugrunde liegenden Konzepten gegenübergestellt. Die Methoden zur Schätzung des Energiebedarfs für unterschiedliche Bevölkerungsgruppen und die Datenbasis für die Richtwerte zur Energiezufuhr werden zusammengefaßt. Darüber hinaus werden die Richtwerte zur wünschenswerten Zufuhr an Energie für Frauen und Männer aller Altersstufen graphisch dargestellt. Der Vergleich der nationalen Richtwerte zur Energiezufuhr verdeutlicht, daß die Höhe abhängig ist von Faktoren wie der methodischen Vorgehensweise, der Datengrundlage, dem verwendeten Referenzkörpergewicht, der Intensität der körperlichen Aktivität und der Alterseinteilung. Richtwerte für Jugendliche und ältere Menschen zeigen, daß Unterschiede in der Höhe der Richtwerte sich am deutlichsten bei Bevölkerungsgruppen darstellen, für welche nur unzureichendes Datenmaterial zum Energiebedarf verfügbar ist. Obwohl es nicht möglich ist, die Angemessenheit von Richtwerten zur wünschenswerten Energiezufuhr anhand eines Vergleichs der Daten unterschiedlicher Länder zu beurteilen, können Unterschiede in der Höhe der Richtwerte auf der Basis der zugrunde liegenden Konzepte erklärt werden.
    Notes: Abstract Dietary reference values for food energy for population groups are set at the level of average energy requirement without a safety margin to avoid any risk of inadequate energy intake. Average energy requirements and hence reference values for energy can be determined from either energy intake data or energy expenditure. In this article, the present reference values for energy of 12 countries, the FAO/WHO/UNU and the Scientific Committee on Food (SCF/EC) are compared regarding the level of their standards and underlying concepts. Methods for estimating energy requirements of different population groups and data sources for reference values for energy are summarized. Furthermore, reference values for energy for males and females of all ages are presented in separate graphs. The comparison of national standards illustrates that the level of reference values for energy for individual countries is dependent on variables such as methodology, data sources, allowances for physical activity, reference body weight, and age range. Standards for adolescents and elderly persons reveal that differences in reference values are most apparent in population groups for which only limited data on energy requirements are available. Although it is not possible to evaluate the adequacy of reference values for energy by comparing data of different countries, many differences in the level of reference values can be explained on the basis of underlying concepts.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Flavonoids as naturally occuring compounds of plant derived foodstuff reveal some biological effects (antioxidative, antimutagenic, anticarcinogenic) which makes them interesting substances in the prevention of atherosclerosis and cancer in humans. Data on the flavonoid content of food are not considered in food composition tables, and human intake data are scarce (flavonols) or missing. Consequently, after installing a flavonoid data base by means of literature data, 7-d dietary protocols of 119 adults (63 women and 56 men, age 19–49 years) representing a bavarian subgroup of the German National Food Consumption Survey (NVS) were evaluated. In all subjects, average intake of all flavonoids (calculated as aglycons) amounts to 54,0 mg/d (median) with a great range of variability. The most important flavonoid groups are flavonols (12,0 mg/d), catechins (8,3 mg/d), and flavanons (13,2 mg/d), followed by anthocyanidins (2,7 mg/d), proanthocyanins (3,7 mg/d) and phloretin (dihydrochalcone) (0,7 mg/d). Sex differences did not reach statistical significance. Fruits, fruit products and fruit juices were the most important flavonoid sources. Vegetables and its products provided about half of the flavonol intake. Therefore, statistically significant correlations (p〈0.001) exist between total flavonoid intake and the intake of vitamin C (r=0.59) or dietary fiber (r=0.49). Compared to other countries, flavonol intake of the investigated group of persons is rather low. With the built data base it was possible for the first time to calculate the intake of further flavonoids besides flavonols. In comparison to the intake of other antioxidants (e.g. vitamins C and E) the amount of flavonoids in the diet is considerably high and therefore should be regarded in further investigations on the role of diet in certain diseases.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Flavonoide sind natürlich vorkommende Inhaltsstoffe von Lebensmitteln pflanzlichen Ursprungs; aufgrund ihrer biologischen Wirkungen (antioxidativ, antimutagen, anticancerogen) ergeben sich interessante Ansätze für die Arteriosklerose- und Krebs-Prophylaxe beim Menschen. In Nährwerttabellen sind Flavonoide nicht ausgewiesen und somit sind Angaben zur Flavonoidzufuhr beim Menschen spärlich (Flavonole) oder gar nicht vorhanden. Deshalb wurde anhand von Literaturangaben eine Datenbank zum Flavonoidgehalt von Lebensmitteln erstellt und mit deren Hilfe 7-Tage-Ernährungsprotokolle von 119 Personen (63 Frauen und 56 Männer, Alter 19–49 Jahre) aus einem bayerischen Teilkollektiv der Nationalen Verzehrsstudie (NVS) ausgewertet. Im Mittel (Median) über alle Personen werden täglich 54,0 mg Flavonoide (berechnet als Aglykon) aufgenommen, wobei die Streubreite der Einzelwerte sehr hoch ist. Den größten Anteil stellen Flavonole (12,0 mg/d), Catechine (8,3 mg/d) und Flavanone (13,2 mg/d), gefolgt von Anthocyanidinen (2,7 mg/d), Proanthocyanidinen (3,7 mg/d) und Phloretin (Dihydrochalcon) (0,7 mg/d). Ein Geschlechterunterschied ist statistisch nicht nachzuweisen. Die Lebensmittelgruppe „Obst/-produkte/-säfte“ ist die wichtigste Flavonoidquelle. Die Flavonolzufuhr wird etwa zur Hälfte durch den Verzehr von Gemüse/-produkten/-säfte gedeckt. Dementsprechend korreliert die Gesamtaufnahme von Flavonoiden statistisch signifikant (p〈0,001) mit der Zufuhr von Vitamin C (r=0,59) und Ballaststoffen (r=0,49). Im Vergleich mit anderen Ländern ist die Flavonolzufuhr im betrachteten Kollektiv eher als niedrig einzustufen. Durch die erstellte Datenbank war es erstmals möglich, neben Flavonolwerten auch Zufuhrdaten für weitere Flavonoide zu berechnen. Verglichen mit der täglichen Zufuhrmenge anderer Antioxidantien (z.B. Vitamine C und E) ist die pro Tag aufgenommene Menge an Flavonoiden beachtlich hoch und sollte somit in Untersuchungen zur Bedeutung der Ernährung bei bestimmten Krankheiten berücksichtigt werden.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Der Einfluß der Häufigkeit der Nahrungsaufnahme auf die Entwicklung des Körpergewichts und auf den Proteinstatus, gemessen auf dem Niveau der Aminosäurenoxidation (Decarboxylierung) in der postabsorptiven Phase, wurde bei einer festen täglichen Proteinaufnahme untersucht. Wachsende Ratten (250g) wurden über eine Sonde mit einer Flüssignahrung versorgt, die auf dem Nutrison Standard basiert (1,6g Protein/d, 266 kJ ME/d). Diese Menge wurde entweder in Form von 2 großen Mahlzeiten am Beginn und am Ende, 6 kleineren Mahlzeiten oder als kontinuierliche Infusion über die gesamte Dunkelperiode (10h) gegeben. Nach 3 Wochen der Fütterung war die mittlere Wachstumsrate der Ratten, die kontinuierlich gefüttert wurden, 20% höher als die Tiere, die die gleiche Menge in 2 Mahlzeiten erhielten. Die Ratten, die 6 Mahlzeiten am Tag bekamen, hatten ein Wachstum, das ziemlich den Ratten entsprach, die kontinuierlich gefüttert wurden. Die prozentuale Wiederfindung der Markierung als14CO2 in der Atemluft nach Injektion (i. p.) von [1-14C]Leucin (4 h nach der letzten Mahlzeit) war signifikant höher (p,05) für die kontinuierlich gefütterten Tiere (27% SD 2,6) verglichen mit den Ratten, die zwei Mahlzeiten erhielten (21,9% SD 4,0). Der Wert für die Gruppe mit 6 Mahlzeiten lag dazwischen (24,5 SD 1,8). Die Resultate weisen darauf hin, daß die metabolische Verwertung von einer festen täglichen Proteinmenge durch den Weg der Zuführung deutlich beeinflußt wird. Hinsichtlich der Entwicklung des Körpergewichts und des Proteinstatus haben die Tiere mehr Nutzen von der gleichen Proteinmenge, wenn die Zuführung ausgeglichener erfolgt. Es wird vorgeschlagen, daß die Differenz durch die metabolische Restriktion für eine adäquate Verwertung von großen Mahlzeiten verursacht wird. Es wird deshalb angenommen, daß große Mahlzeiten zu einer Verschwendung von Aminosäuren in der postprandialen Phase führen. Eine Folge davon ist, daß weniger Aminosäuren im Körper gespeichert werden und in der postabsorptiven Phase verfügbar sind.
    Notes: Summary The influence of meal frequency on change of body weight and protein status, measured by level of amino acid oxidation (decarboxylation) in the postabsorptive state, was studied at a fixed daily protein intake. Growing rats (250g) were fed through gastric canula a feeding solution based on Nutrison Standard supplying 1.6g protein and 266kJ ME daily. This amount was given in either 2 large meals at the beginning and the end, or in 6 smaller meals, or by continuous infusion during entire dark period (10 hrs). After 3 weeks of feeding the mean growth rate of the rats fed continuously was nearly 20% higher than rats fed the same amount in 2 meals. The rats fed 6 meals a day had a growth rate rather similar to the rats fed continuously. The percentile recovery of label as14CO2 in the breath after an intraperitoneal injection of [1-14C]leucine (4 hrs after last meal) was significantly higher (p.05) for the animals fed continuously (27% sd 2.6) compared to the rats fed 2 meals (21.9% sd 4.0). The value for 6 meal group was intermediate (24.5 sd 1.8). The results indicate that the metabolic utilization of a fixed daily amount of protein is clearly influenced by the way of supply. With respect to the change of body weight and protein status, animals have more benefit of the same amount of protein if the supply is more equable. It is suggested that the difference is caused by metabolic restriction for an adequate utilisation of large meals. Therefore large meals are supposed to cause a waste of amino acids in the postprandial phase. As a consequence amino acid amount that will be stored in the body to be available in the postabsorptive phase will be less.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Eine Zunahme von fettfreiem Gewebe tritt auf, wenn die Proteinsynthese größer ist als der Proteinabbau. Obwohl während des Wachstums von der Geburt bis zur Reife die absoluten Proteinsynthese- und -abbauraten ansteigen, nehmen dagegen die fraktionellen Raten ab. Bcide Prozesse reagieren auf die Nährstoffaufnahme. Es gibt aber deutliche Unterschiede zwischen den verschiedenen Geweben. Protein, Kohlenhydrate und Fett können den Proteinansatz bei unreifen Tieren und Kindern stimulieren. Die zugrundeliegenden Mechanismen und die Energieaufwendungen scheinen jedoch unterschiedlich zu sein.
    Notes: Summary Lean tissue growth occurs when the rate of protein synthesis exceeds the rate of protein breakdown. Althoughabsolute rates of protein synthesis and breakdown rise during growth from birth to maturityfractional rates fall. Both these processes are sensitive to nutrient intake but responses to feeding vary greatly amongst different tissues. Protein, carbohydrate and fat can all stimulate body protein accretion in immature animals and in children but the mechanisms by which they do so, and the energy expenditures involved, seem to be different.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Hypersekretion von biliärem Cholesterin scheint der Schlüsseldefekt in der Pathogenese der Cholesteringallensteine zu sein und ist möglicherweise bedingt durch eine erhöhte Cholesterinsynthese. Um die fraktionelle Synthese von biliärem Cholesterin und Plasmacholesterin zu messen, wurden 5 männliche und 3 weibliche gesunde Probanden mit einer intakten enterohepatischen Zirkulation intravenös mit [1-13C]Acetat für 15 h infundiert. Proben duodenaler Galle und Blutproben wurden stündlich gewonnen und eine Formuladiät enteral verabreicht. Die Massenverteilung des freien Cholesterins wurde mittels Gaschromatographie mit Massenspektrometrie analysiert. Die Anwendung der Mass Isotopomer Distribution Analysis — (MIDA) — Technik erlaubte die Berechnung der fraktionellen Synthese. Nach 6stündiger Infusion erreichte die [13C]Markierung des cytosolischen Acetatpools etwa 12%. Die individuellen fraktionellen Cholesterinsynthesen im Plasma und in der Galle korrelierten signifikant miteinander (6–15 h) und betrugen 4,2 und 5,3% nach 15 h. Aus dieser Studie wurde die Schlußfolgerung gezogen, daß neu synthetisiertes Cholesterin gegenüber dem Plasma zu einem höheren Anteil in die Galle sezerniert wird.
    Notes: Summary Hypersecretion of biliary cholesterol appears to be the key defect in the pathogenesis of cholesterol gallstones, and this may be due to an enhanced synthesis of cholesterol. To measure fractional syntheses of biliary and plasma cholesterol, five male and 3 femalc healthy humans with an intact enterohepatic circulation were infused intravenously with [1-13C]acetate for 15 h. Samples of duodenal bile and blood were taken hourly and an enteral formula diet was given. Free cholesterol mass distribution was analyzed by gas chromatography mass spectrometry. The Mass Isotopomer Distribution Analysis (MIDA) technique allowed to calculate fractional synthesis. After 6 hours of infusion, the [13C]label of the cytosolic acetate pool reached a plateau of approximately 12%. Individual fractional cholesterol synthesis in plasma and bile correlated significantly (6–15 h) and amounted to 4.2% and 5.3% after 15 h, respectively. It may be concluded from this study, that newly synthesized cholesterol is secreted into bile to a higher extent than into plasma.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die indirekte Kalorimetrie, die auf Gaswechselmessungen beruht, ist seit Beginn des Jahrhunderts erfolgreich für die Bestimmung der Wärmeproduktion (Energieumsatz) bei Menschen und Tieren eingesetzt worden. Fehler, die mit dieser klassischen Technik verbunden sind, können von verschiedenen Quellen herrühren: 1) Modell der Berechnung und der Annahmen, 2) verwendete kalorimetrische Faktoren, 3) technische Faktoren, 4) menschliche Faktoren. Die physiologischen und biochemischen Faktoren, die die Interpretation der kalorimetrischen Daten beeinflussen, betreffen eine Änderung der Größe des Bicarbonat- und Harnstoffpools, die Akkumulation oder den Verlust (über den Atem, Urin oder Schweiß) von intermediären Metaboliten (Glukoneogenese, Ketogenese). Seit neuerer Zeit sind respiratorische Gaswechseldaten verwendet worden, um Subtratverwertungsraten in verschiedenen physiologischen und metabolischen Situationen (Fastenzustand, postprandialer Zustand etc.) zu bestimmen. Es sollte angemerkt werden, daß die indirekte Kalorimetrie einen Index für die ‘overall substrate disappearance rates’ liefert. In unkorrekter Weise wird dieser Index gleichgesetzt mit den Substrat' oxidations'-Raten. Bedauerlicherweise existitiert kein geeigneter ‘goldener’ Standard, um die Ganzkörper-Substrat' oxidations'-Raten zu validieren. Im Gegensatz dazu kann die mittels indirekter Kalorimetrie gemessene Wärmeproduktion durch die direkte Kalorimetrie unter exakten thermischen Gleichgewichtsbedingungen validiert werden. Tracertechniken, die stabile (oder radioaktive) Isotope verwenden, stellen einen unabhängigen Weg zur Bestimmung von Substratverwertungs-Raten dar. Wenn der Kohlenhydratstoffwechsel mit beiden Methoden gemessen wird, liefert die indirekte Kalorimetrie im allgemeinen Glukose“oxidations”-Raten, die mit den Tracerergebnissen übereinstimmen. Voraussetzung ist jedoch, daß bestimmte Stoffwechselprozesse (z. B. Gluconeogenese und Lipogenese) minimal sind oder/und die respiratorischen Quotienten nicht am äußersten Ende des physiologischen Bereichs liegen. Es wird jedoch angenommen, daß die Tracertechniken die wahren Glukoseoxidationsraten unterschätzen, weil die Glykogenolyse des Gewebeglukosespeichers nicht berücksichtigt wird. Ein wesentlicher Vorteil der Isotopentracer-Techniken ist, daß sie (mit bestimmten Annahmen) verschiedene Stoffwechselprozesse (z.B. die Gluconeogenese) auf nichtinvasive Weise quantifizieren können. Schlußfolgernd kann gesagt werden, daß die Isotopentracer-Techniken und die indirekte Kalorimetrie als komplementäre Techniken betrachtet werden sollten. Es sollte beachtet werden, daß die Bestimmung der Substratoxidation mit Hilfe der indirekten Kalorimetrie große Fehler beinhalten kann, insbesondere, wenn ein kurzer Zeitraum betrachtet wird. Der Energieumsatz (Wärmeproduktion) wird mittels der indirekten Kalorimetrie mit einem wesentlich kleineren Fehler bestimmt als die Substratoxidations-Raten.
    Notes: Summary Indirect calorimetry based on respiratory exchange measurement has been successfully used from the beginning of the century to obtain an estimate of heat production (energy expenditure) in human subjects and animals. The errors inherent to this classical technique can stem from various sources: 1) model of calculation and assumptions, 2) calorimetric factors used, 3) technical factors and 4) human factors. The physiological and biochemical factors influencing the interpretation of calorimetric data include a change in the size of the bicarbonate and urea pools and the accumulation or loss (via breath, urine or sweat) of intermediary metabolites (gluconeogenesis, ketogenesis). More recently, respiratory gas exchange data have been used to estimate substrate utilization rates in various physiological and metabolic situations (fasting, postprandial state, etc.). It should be re-called that indirect calorimetry provides an index of overall substratedisappearance rates. This is incorrectly assumed to be equivalent to substrate "oxidation" rates. Unfortunately, there is no adequate golden standard to validate whole body substrate "oxidation" rates, and this contrasts to the "validation" of heat production byindirect calorimetry, through use ofdirect calorimetry under strict thermal equilibrium conditions. Tracer techniques using stable (or radioactive) isotopes, represent an independent way of assessing substrate utilization rates. When carbohydrate metabolism is measured with both techniques, indirect calorimetry generally provides consistent glucose "oxidation" rates as compared to isotopic tracers, but only when certain metabolic processes (such as gluconeogenesis and lipogenesis) are minimal or / and when the respiratory quotients are not at the extreme of the physiological range. However, it is believed that the tracer techniques underestimate true glucose "oxidation" rates due to the failure to account for glycogenolysis in the tissue storing glucose, since this escapes the systemic circulation. A major advantage of isotopic techniques is that they are able to estimate (given certain assumptions) various metabolic processes (such as gluconeogenesis) in a noninvasive way. Furthermore when, in addition to the 3 macronutrients, a fourth substrate is administered (such as ethanol), isotopic quantification of substrate "oxidation" allows one to eliminate the inherent assumptions made by indirect calorimetry. In conclusion, isotopic tracers techniques and indirect calorimetry should be considered as complementary techniques, in particular since the tracer techniques require the measurement of carbon dioxide production obtained by indirect calorimetry. However, it should be kept in mind that the assessment of substrate oxidation by indirect calorimetry may involve large errors in particular over a short period of time. By indirect calorimetry, energy expenditure (heat production) is calculated with substantially less error than substrate oxidation rates.

    Notes: Abstract. The level of the three main polyamines putrescine, spermidine, and spermine and the biosynthetic enzyme arginine decarboxylase (ADC) decreased in Helianthus annuus L. seedlings subjected to increasing (50, 100, and 150 mm) NaCl concentrations. The pattern of polyamines in control plants increased during the initial 72 h and then reached a plateau. The putrescine level showed an increase of 370% after 72 h of development. The lower salt treatment slightly diminished the overall polyamine content. The highest NaCl concentration (150 mm) induced a strong putrescine diminution (from 381 to 78.9 nmol g−1 FW) at 72 h whereas a small decrease in ADC activity was detected. ODC was detected in neither control nor treated plantlets during the experimental period. The level of spermidine also decreased, but the magnitude of the decay was less pronounced than putrescine. The fact that ODC was not detected and ADC activity followed a pattern similar to that of putrescine led us to suppose that the variation in putrescine content could be attributed entirely to the decrease in ADC activity. α-Difluoromethylarginine and α-difluoromethylornithine (ADC and ODC inhibitor, respectively) did not inhibit but delayed the onset of germination of sunflower seeds, and α-difluoromethylornithine increased the content of spermidine and spermine. The present data suggest that polyamines could be involved in the germination process of H. annuus seeds and in response to salt stress.

    Notes: Abstract In public debate over agricultural biotechnology, at issue hasbeen its self-proclaimed aim of further industrializingagriculture. Using languages of ’risk‘, critics and proponentshave engaged in an implicit ethics debate on the direction oftechnoscientific development. Critics have challenged thebiotechnological R&D agenda for attributing socio-agronomicproblems to genetic deficiencies, while perpetuating the hazardsof intensive monoculture. They diagnosed ominous links betweentechnological dependency and tangible harm from biotechnologyproducts. In response to scientific and public concerns, theEuropean Community enacted precautionary legislation for theintentional release of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Inits implementation, choices for managing and investigatingbiotechnological risk involve an implicit environmental ethics.Yet the official policy language downplays the inherent valuejudgments, by portraying risk regulation as a matter of’objective‘ science. In parallel with safety regulation, thestate has devised an official bioethics that judges where to’draw the line‘ in applying biotechnological knowledge, as ifthe science itself were value-free. Bioethics may also judge howto ’balance‘ risks and benefits, as if their definition were notan issue. This form of ethics serves to compensate for theunacknowledged value-choices and institutional commitmentsalready embedded in R&D priorities. Thus the state separates’risk‘ and ’ethics‘, while assigning both realms to specialists.The risk/ethics boundary encourages public deference to theexpert assessments of both safety regulators and professionalethicists. Biotechnology embodies a contentious model of controlover nature and society, yet this issue becomes displaced andfragmented into various administrative controls. At stake arethe prospects for democratizing the problem-definitions thatguide R&D priorities.

    Notes: Abstract Cornell University and Zamorano (ThePanamerican School of Agriculture) facilitatedworkshops that provided Honduran and Nicaraguanfarmers new experience with plant diseases and helpedfarmers assimilate information and identify diseasemanagement alternatives. After learning about thebiology of plant diseases, farmers were able toidentify disease problems in their field, enablingthem to use pesticides more selectively. Furthermore,participants of seven courses conceived 273 pathogen-specificmanagement alternatives, and they identifiedon average 66 percent of the common recommendations by plantpathologists for the control of general disease types.Many ideas were novel and may represent newopportunities for improving the practice of diseasemanagement.

    Notes: Abstract Communitarians have alleged a connection between according specialrights to community groupings and preserving the indigenous cultureand the social cohesion of the original community. This paperconcentrates upon special group rights associated with land tenurenow maintained by Fijian Mataqali and traditional land owninggroups in Papua New Guinea. The first section of the paper assessesand compares the social consequences of each of these systems withspecial attention to the preservation of traditional culture.However, in the case of Fiji, it is undeniable that the mataqaliland tenure system has given indigenous Fijians politicaladvantages over non-indigenous Fijians, most specifically theFijian Indians. Though special land rights can possibly bejustified on the grounds of cultural preservation, their existencedoes raise this further issue of fairness. Moral considerations basedupon the territorial sovereignty of indigenous nations, rather thancommunitarian arguments, may offer a more convincing justificationof the advantages of indigenous Fijians.

    Notes: Abstract In the cash budgets of farm householdsin western Kenya, off-farm occupations and cropsaccount for the most important sources of income. Treeand livestock products are of secondary importance incash terms, although farmers attach great importanceto trees as a source of income because of the variousnon-monetary functions they supply. The findingspresented in this paper suggest that two variables,the domestic development cycle of households andwealth, are likely to affect the adoption pattern ofcertain introduced agroforestry technologies,depending on farmers' strategies to produce treeproducts and milk for subsistence, largely for themarket or some combination of the two. However, forthe most part, farmers in western Kenya are likely togive first priority to investing in enterprises, suchas business and livestock production, that yieldshort-term financial returns as oppossed to investingin long-gestation agroforestry technologies whichprovide non-tangible benefits and financial returnsonly after several years.

    Notes: Abstract Testing of candidate biological control agents to estimate their likely field host ranges in the area of release has been part of weed biological control for several decades, with evolving techniques and goals. Similar efforts have been made less often for parasitoids and predators being introduced for arthropod biological control. Here, we review both techniques of host range testing and social objectives of such screening. We ask whether agents introduced for arthropod biological control should be subjected to host range testing before release, and if so, are methods used for estimating host ranges of herbivorous arthropods appropriate, or are different approaches needed. Current examples in which host range testing has been employed for arthropod biological control are reviewed. We conclude with recommendations concerning guiding principles about use of host range testing. We recommend modest expansion of host range testing for arthropod biological control for projects on continents. We recommend more extensive testing for projects of introduction onto islands. We note that introductions to islands could provide opportunities to gain experience in use of host range estimation for this class of organisms and to conduct post release evaluations of host ranges. We urge caution in efforts to mandate host range testing but simultaneously recommend consultation between biological control workers and insect conservationists.

    Notes: Abstract Trichoderma ATCC 20476 based biofungicides have been marketed continuously on a small scale for 20 years. A more recently developed application for these biofungicides is the treatment of strawberries against the gray mold Botrytis cinerea. That application is examined in terms of Lockwood's criteria for ethics in biological control. Unaddressed risks resulting from the current scramble for market share in northern Europe are pointed out.

    Notes: Abstract Of the four types of biological control, (1) natural, (2) conservation, (3) augmentation, and (4) importation), ethical concerns have been raised almost exclusively about only one type: importation. These concerns rest largely on fears of extinction of animal species. Importation biological control is a cost-effective alternative to chemical control for basic food crops of resource-poor farmers. Regarding the other types of biological control, natural biological control is not consciously manipulated by humans. Augmentation has some technical concerns, but is generally an environmentally-sound, viable alternative to chemicals and offers local employment. Conservation can help empower farmers to preserve native species, while saving labor and money and reducing chemical insecticides.

    Notes: Abstract An emergent contradiction in the contemporary development of biological control is that of the prevalence of the substitution of periodic releases of natural enemies for chemical insecticides and the dominance of biotechnologically developed transgenic crops. Input substitution leaves in place the monoculture nature of agroecosystems, which in itself is a key factor in encouraging pest problems. Biotechnology, now under corporate control, creates more dependency and can potentially lead to Bt resistance, thus excluding from the market a key biopesticide. Approaches for putting back biological control into the hands of farmers (from artesanal biotechnology for grassroots biopesticide production Cuban style to farmer-to-farmer IPM networks, etc.) have been developed as a way to create a farmer centered approach to biological control

    Notes: Abstract Greenline parks are typically regions of mixed agricultural,grazing, and forest lands of sufficient scenic and/orecological value to merit conservation and preservationunder a land-use management plan for land largely in privateownership. The Parcs Naturels Régionaux (PNR) are anational system of greenline parks created in France in1967 to protect agriculture and other values in less favoredareas (typically hills or low mountains) suffering depopulationand economic deprivation aggravated by the Common AgriculturalPolicy created under the European Economic Community in 1956with a major objective of self-sufficiency in food production.Two developments contributing to creation of the PNR were themechanization of French agriculture and increasing environmentalawareness in France. The PNR emphasizes rural agriculturaldevelopment, conservation, and recreation, but ecologicalpreservation has increased in importance, as reflected inrecent policy changes. The national parks of the United Kingdomare a system of greenline parks slightly older than the PNR.Recent research has allowed comparative studies of the twosystems, leading to the conclusion that the British NationalParks have suffered from heavy-handed centralized planningthat has alienated local farmers and communities, while thePNR, under more local control, has neglected some of itsconservation and preservation responsibilities. However,recent policy reform promises to improve the PNR throughmore rigorous enforcement of conservation and ecologicalgoals by the central government.

    Notes: Abstract In contrast to the jeopardy caused to commonproperty regimes by conditions of open access, factorssuch as boundary ambiguity, shifts, and maintenancefailures are the causes of a different set of problemsin the Los Haitises National Park, a controversialprotected area in the Dominican Republic. Survey data,historical sources, and digital mapping informationoverlaying past boundary changes show that this areahas undergone two decades of design modifications inits perimeters. Despite a long history of communalownership in that country, there appears to be littlelikelihood of transforming this tradition into amodern common property regime of use to community andenvironment in the park‘s buffer zone. This is due, atleast in part, to its highly porous, constantlychanging boundary, a source of on-going, open-accessproblems among local cultivators peripheral to thepark.

    Notes: Abstract This study explored local controls relating to trees and spacesof the local environment in Nyamaropa Communal Lands in theNyanga District of eastern Zimbabwe. Controls were consideredin a broad and inclusive framework encompassing codified rules,taboos, and, regulatory norms and emotions. Special emphasis waslaid on people‘s emotional and ethical investment in the abovecomponents of the environment – trees and spaces. The studyemployed intensive informal and group interviews. Results showthat there is tremendous emotional and ethical investment intrees and spaces of the environment in Nyamaropa. Emotions comein a variety of forms: fear, shunning, love, reverence, andconfidence and security enhancement. The emotional and ethicalnorms are designed to govern behavior and the context of resourceutilization. These norms have implications on the organization ofspaces of the local environment and regimes of resource utilizationoccurring in them. Location of resources in spaces of the environmenthas implications on the management of resources within them. Thedomains of human habitation – home bases and home fields – werefound to be the most emotionally laden spaces with trees in thembeing actively planted, nurtured, conserved, eliminated, or destroyedon the basis of certain emotions and norms. The findings of the studyhave implications within the framework of decentralization and ofdemocratization of natural resource management.

    Notes: Abstract Social policies are used to regulate how members of a society interact and share resources. If we expand our sense of community to include the ecosystem of which we are a part, we begin to develop an ethical obligation to this broader community. This ethic recognizes that the environment has intrinsic value, and each of us, as members of society, are ethically bound to preserve its sustainability. In assessing the environmental risks of new agricultural methods and technologies, society should not freely trade economic gains for ecological damage, but rather seek practices that are compatible with ecosystem health. This approach is used to evaluate the environmental risks associated with genetically engineered insect-resistant trees. The use of insect-resistant trees is a biologically based pest control strategy that has several advantages over pesticide use. However, the use of genetically engineered trees presents particular ecological concerns because the trees are long lived and often are not highly domesticated. The main environmental concerns reviewed include: (1) adaptation of pests to the trees, leading to a non-sustainable agricultural practice, (2) transgenic trees producing environmental toxins, (3) insect resistance enhancing the invasiveness of the tree, causing it to become weedy or invade wild habitats, and (4) transfer of the transgene to wild or feral relatives of the tree, possibly increasing the invasiveness of weeds or wild plants. Some methods are available to offset these risks; however, the environmental risks associated with this technology have been poorly researched and need to be more clearly identified so that when we evaluate the risks, it is based on the best information obtainable. To fulfil an ethical obligation to the environment, public policies and government regulations are needed to preserve the sustainability of both the environment and the future of our production systems. A better understanding of both the ecological issues and of genetic engineering in general are needed on the part of citizens and policy makers alike to ensure that sound environmental decisions are made. Otherwise, the environmental benefits of this technology, mainly decreasing the use of more toxic pesticides in tree crops and forests, will either be lost or traded for other environmental hazards.

    Notes: Abstract The 1989 collapse of trade relations with the former socialist bloc plunged Cuba into an economic and food crisis. Cuban farmers, scientists, and planners have responded with alternative agricultural technology to make up for imported food and Green Revolution inputs that are no longer available. A review of Cuban experience to date with biological pest control practices shows that, on the one hand, significant progress has been made that may serve as a model for other countries, while, on the other hand, there still remains a long way to go if Cuba is to create a truly sustainable agriculture. It is essential that we understand the Cuban case if we are to be concerned about ethical issues in biological control. The apparent ability of Cuba to overcome a food crisis without significant use of pesticides stretches our concept of the possible. It thus helps refute the most common argument – that we couldn't “feed the hungry” without pesticides – against taking the “ethical” position in real-world pest management policy debates.

    Notes: Abstract Plant variety rights legislation, now enactedin most Western countries, fosters the commodificationof plant varieties. In this paper, we look at theconceptual issues involved in understanding andjustifying this commodification, with particularemphasis on Australian legislation. The paper isdivided into three sections. In the first, we lay outa taxonomy of goods, drawing on this in the secondsection to point out that the standard justificationof the allocation of exclusionary property rights byappeal to scarcity will not do for abstract goods suchas plant varieties, since these goods are not madescarcer through consumption, and consideringalternative – economically consequentialist –justifications. In the third section, we considerthese justifications as they apply to the particularcase of the commodification of plant varieties, andthe legislation which fosters it. A definitive answerto the question of whether this legislation isadvantageous awaits further empirical information, butwe point to several intrinsically problematic aspectsof it.

    Notes: Abstract Public controversy over animalbiotechnology is analyzed as a case that illustratestwo broad theoretical approaches for linking science,political or ethical theory, and public policy. Moralpurification proceeds by isolating the social,environmental, animal, and human health impacts ofbiotechnology from each other in terms of discretecategories of moral significance. Each of thesecategories can also be isolated from the sense inwhich biotechnology raises religious or metaphysicalissues. Moral purification yields a comprehensive andsystematic account of normative issues raised bycontroversial science. Hybridization proceeds bytaking concern for all these elements to be a mark ofsound moral character. The advocate of hybridizationinfers that those who employ a strategy ofpurification seek to avoid accountability by dividingissues, and hence are not to be trusted. Lack of trustincreases perceived risk and challenges the legitimacyof government regulations to control social,environmental, and human health risks that areestablished under separate mandate, and administeredby separate agencies.The close alignment between government agencies, theiracademic affines, and the categories of purificationplaces the purified analysis in a favored politicalposition. Legitimation of science-based policy inareas like animal biotechnology becomes problematicbecause the concern of those who would take a hybridapproach (arguably the majority of lay persons) tounderstanding controversial science are excluded.Ironically, this exclusion heightens the perception ofrisk from animal biotechnology. The paper concludeswith a call for procedural approaches to incorporatingthe hybrid view of science‘s moral significance.

    Notes: Abstract In recent decades, constituenciesserved by land-grant agricultural research haveexperienced significant demographic and politicalchanges, yet most research institutions have not fullyresponded to address the concerns of a changingclientele base. Thus, we have seen continuingcontroversies over technologies produced by land-grantagricultural research. While a number of scholars havecalled for a more participatory agricultural scienceestablishment, we understand little about the processof enhancing and institutionalizing participation inthe US agricultural research enterprise. We firstexamine some of the important issues surroundingcitizen participation in science and technologypolicy. We then review and assess variousinstitutional mechanisms for participation that havebeen implemented in diverse settings by institutionsof science and technology. Based on evidence from theexperiences of these institutions, we argue that acloser approximation of the ‘public good’ can beachieved by encouraging the participation of thefullest range possible of constituents as an integralpart of the process of setting research priorities.

    Notes: Abstract Many authors suggest the need to define ‘sustainable development’in operational terms. This paper looks at the problems ofattempting to ask whether peasant farming systems are sustainable.Any attempt at sustainability assessment needs to consider issuesrelated to the selected indicators or performance criteria, spatialscale or boundaries, and temporal scale. While there is certainlya need for more rigorous analysis of sustainability issues, thereis limited outlook for an approach based on indicators. Even if themany purely technical problems associated with specific indicatorscan be surmounted, will accurate bio-physical data advance ourknowledge about sustainability? Peasant systems arepolitically-guided management systems, whose boundaries are the state,not the field or the farm. Given the dynamic nature of peasant farmingsystems, where do we draw the line in assessing sustainability?Attempts at sustainability assessment 100 years ago or even 20–30years ago would have been completely superseded by events. We drawattention to the system as a whole, to a web of interconnections,causes and effects – of varying significance over both time andspace.

    Notes: Abstract The potential negative impacts of biological pest control on non-target species have become the focus of a contentious debate. In this article, we use examples from both classical and augmentative biological control of fruit fly pests in Hawaii to address several important factors in assessing non-target risks of fruit fly parasitoids. Several fruit fly parasitoids have been introduced to Hawaii and contribute substantially to the reduction of pest populations in the state's farms and forests. However, an historical lack of host-specificity testing of these parasitoids with non-target species has raised concerns about their impact on non-pest fruit flies, including some flies deliberately introduced for biological control of weeds and others that are endemic Hawaiian species. When developing protocols to assess risks of introduced fruit fly parasitoids, we need first to define an appropriate range of species against which host specificity should be tested. For assessing susceptibility of a non-target species to parasitoids, behavioral tests are as important as suitability tests. Experimental factors, such as host-exposure substrate, absence or presence of preferred hosts, and laboratory vs. natural conditions, are shown to affect the results of host-specificity tests and risk analysis. Still, assessing long-term, indirect ecological impacts of parasitoids and weighing potential risks and benefits in multiple dimensions (besides dollar values) remains a challenge to environmentalists, conservationists, applied ecologists, and biocontrol practitioners.

    Notes: Abstract Rabbits are a major vertebrate pest in New Zealand. An application has been made recently to import and release in New Zealand the biological control agent Rabbit Calicivirus Disease (RCD). In this paper we discuss the findings from a qualitative study and a national survey of New Zealanders' perceptions of rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus), rabbit control, and RCD. New Zealanders' position on the introduction of RCD is complex, and includes concern for the rabbit as a sentient individual that deserves a humane death if it is to be killed, appreciation of the environmental and agricultural damage it causes, and skepticism about the information on RCD currently being provided. Because perceptions of biological control include risk perceptions, we draw upon the literature on public perceptions of risk to interpret the results. We also discuss some ethical and practical issues arising from our study. We contend that the complexity of the issues, and the nature of their presentation, requires a public decision-making process involving two-way communication.

    Notes: Abstract Over the past several decades, a group of scholars at the Berkeley campus of the University of California have frequently challenged many of the dominant themes of contemporary agricultural research. In their work, they have organized curricula questioning the assumptions of conventional agriculture and its sciences while encouraging the development of alternative agricultural practices based on principles of ecology. Their collective critique has stimulated an intellectual climate calling forth a scrutiny of the university's role in the production of knowledge and the social consequences of its works. The result of this intellectual project has been a group that has also largely challenged the dominant themes of the modern university. In place of a setting where ideas are a passive currency, the modern university is a place where knowledge and power are manifest in a dialectic that is revealed not simply by the production of knowledge, but its destruction as well. It is in this context that the recent history of a group of scholars at the University of California provides a striking testimony concerning the disturbing character of science in the modern university. The ecological and social dimensions of “killing fields” that captures the contemporary hazards of food and fiber production in California is also reflected in the gradual demise of a group of researchers at Berkeley who have endeavored to provide an alternative vision of agriculture.

    Notes: Abstract Growth of the national cattle herd is contributing to rapid and inappropriate deforestation in Honduras. Field research was conducted in the Department of Olancho to better understand this problem and to assess the possibilities for local interest in forest protection. A recent upsurge in the profitability of cattle farming bodes badly for the forest, but three countervailing factors could ultimately serve as the basis for community-based forest management. First, area residents have a greater appreciation for the economic and ecological functions of the forest than one might surmise, given the rapid pace of deforestation. Second, timber is a significant source of community income, thus there may be latent incentives to maintain supplies in the long term. Third, some residents will not turn to cattle farming, in spite of its profitability, perhaps because of their dependence on timber marketing. Policies enacted in 1992 undermine theseincipient incentives for forest custodianship. Inappropriate deforestation can be lessened through policy reforms thatwould enable smallholders to conserve and manage their resources over the long-term.

    Notes: Abstract This analysis examines initiatorsof specific issues within one large and encompassingpolicy domain in Congress, agriculture. The data arefrom an extensive survey of congressional members andstaff from stratified random samples of 113 individualoffices. One purpose is to determine differences betweenmembers with an agenda of new issues and those whobehave as maintainers of existing policy. The analysisalso finds that the circumstances of a postreformCongress enhance the importance of district effects onissue selection. These effects create substantiallymore congressional players within the domain thanwould be expected in much of the literature. Moreover,the behavior of these issue initiators seems largelydetermined by identifiable characteristics of theirhome-district populations. Those and other findings,especially the high rate of initiator success, callinto serious question many existing assumptions aboutexclusivity and specialization in committeedeliberations. It suggests instead that home-stylebehavior comes to Washington politics in ways thatexpand significantly the range of policy players.

    Notes: Abstract Whilst there has been much debateregarding the importance of public acceptance ofgenetic engineering and its applications, there isevidence to indicate that objections to the technologyare likely to focus on specific applications of thetechnology, rather than genetic engineering per se.Thus it becomes important to examine the extent ofobjections associated with individual applications,rather than to assess public feeling regarding thetechnology overall. Survey data were collected from200 respondents regarding their objections to generalapplications of genetic engineering (where thetangible benefits were not obvious). Similar objectiondata were collected from 200 different respondents,who were presented with specific applications withmore obvious tangible benefits. Overall patterns ofobjection to different applications were identifiedusing a novel method of objection mapping, inconjunction with analysis of variance to identifyindividual differences in the samples. For generalapplications, the results indicate that mostrespondents object less to applications involvingplants and microorganisms than to those involvinganimals or human genetic material. Individualdifferences in objection focus on applicationsinvolving animals or human genetic material, withwomen and those who are very concerned with theenvironment having greatest objections to theseapplications. Individual differences tend to reducewhen specific applications are used as stimuli,although the focus of concern is still on applicationsinvolving animals and human genetic material. However,gender differences were not statistically significant,and those respondents who have high levels ofenvironmental concern are differentiated by increasedobjections to large-scale agricultural applications.It is argued that effective communication regardingthe technology should focus on specific applications,and address issues of environmental impact within thecontext of these applications, if the public is tomake an informed choice regarding their acceptance ofthe products of the technology.

    Notes: Abstract Despite concerns of consumer protection andenvironmental groups that the use of geneticallyproduced growth hormone in milk-producing cows mayadversely impact the safety of the milk supply,scientific evidence and governmental findings from theUSA appear to indicate that milk fromtreated cows is identical in quality, taste, andnutritional value to milk from untreated cows. Limitedexperience to date in the USA demonstrateslittle consumer resistance to milk from cows that havereceived the growth hormone, which can lead to a 15%increase in milk production. In fact, if there is noperceived differentiation between the two forms ofmilk, the issue offers little choice to consumers atlarge, and may result in economic benefit only toselected dairy farmers, as well as the producers ofthe genetically produced growth hormone. Thissituation in the USA may be an example ofdysfunctional technology transfer, with desirablebenefits to a few, and as yet unknown benefits to thesociety. The USA has taken a bold move inapproving the use of bovine growth hormone in milk-producing cows, while the European Union has takena divergent approach by enacting lengthy moratoriumsagainst its use. The basic lesson to be learned fromthe bST case is that lack of awareness amonggovernment officials and the public at large serves asa significant impediment to the adoption of newtechnologies. Accordingly, delays may occur indelivery of significant social benefits to thepopulation as a whole. Obviously, the issue extendsbeyond bST.

    Notes: Abstract The role of coffee in the land usepatterns and decisions of eastern Chiapas looms as akey ingredient in the social and political relationsof this conflicted area. Data from the municipios of Ocosingo, Altamirano, and Las Margaritas – threedistricts generally associated with the January 1994uprising – reveal similarities and distinctdifferences in land use patterns involving coffee. Theintroduction and spread of coffee, as well as themarket and production changes related to this export-oriented sector can be linked to the colonists whosettled this remote region over the past severaldecades. The dynamics between grassrootscampesino producer organizations and the state'snow-defunct National Coffee Institute (INMECAFE)helped set the stage for the economic challenges thatfell full force upon the residents in the area in 1994and beyond.

    Notes: Abstract Scholars have recognized the importance of local and indigenousknowledge in less industrialized countries. Few studies havebeen done on the diversity of knowledge communities in moreindustrialized countries, however, because of researcherassumptions about the spatial and temporal dimensions of localand scientific knowledge. A distinguishing feature of knowledgecommunities is the way that time and space are perceived. Thesedifferences are reflected in farmers' decision-making.Depending on farmers' knowledge orientations, they may utilizequite different criteria to determine the reliability andapplicability of new information. Advocates of sustainableagriculture, and proponents of on-farm research will benefit byrecognizing the diverse ways that farmers know and understandtheir farming systems in both less and more industrializedcountries.

    Notes: Abstract This overview and synthesis of the papers presented in this Special Issue suggests that there is a remarkably rich set of ethical issues having direct relevance to the development and practice of biological control for the management of agricultural pests. The perception and resolution of ethical issues appear to emerge from a set of factors that includes one's ethical viewpoint (anthropocentric or biocentric), agricultural system (industrial or sustainable), economic context (rich or poor), and power structure (expert or public). From this set of parameters at least five major ethical questions can be formulated: (1) How should we regulate and apply biological control in the face of persistent ecological uncertainty regarding environmental impacts? (2) How ought we to balance the established and expected benefits of biological control to human and ecosystem well-being against the known and anticipated risks? (3) Who should be empowered to develop policies and make decisions regarding the study and practice of biological control? (4) How can we assure a more just distribution of benefits and costs associated with biological control technologies (e.g., sharing the costs of nonmarketable goods and services that benefit the public, and compensating people from whom biological control agents are acquired), and (5) Can biological control be justified as a resource substitution for pesticides or is its ethical application only possible as part of a reconceptualization of agricultural production? These central questions and possible answers are presented in a varied set of provocative analyses by some of the leading thinkers and authorities in their fields.

    Notes: Abstract Novel cellobiose derivatives, 6-O-methyl, 6′-O-methyl, 6,6′-di-O-methyl- β-cellobiosyl fluorides, have been prepared and their hydrolytic behaviour as well as polymerizability by a purified cellulase from Trichoderma viride were investigated. Among these compounds, 6-O-methyl-β-cellobiosyl fluoride was found to polymerize by the cellulase catalysis in a mixed solvent of acetonitrile and acetate buffer (pH 5.0), giving rise to an alternatingly 6-O-methylated cellulose derivative. The stereoselective formation of the β(1 ← 4) glycosidic bond is explained by a mechanism involving double inversion at the C1 carbon of the substrate. Another cellobiose derivative, 6′O-methyl-β-cellobiosyl fluoride, gave a mixture of low molecular weight oligomers. The difference in the observed polymerizability was explained by assuming a difference in steric repulsions between the methyl groups and an amino acid residue at the enzyme catalytic site

    Notes: Abstract Solid-state 13C NMR spectroscopy was used to characterize fibrous material cut from the midrib of a fern frond. Signals associated with cellulose crystallites were separated from those associated with the lignin--hemicellulosic matrix by exploiting differences in proton rotating-frame relaxation time constants. Heights of signals at 90.2 and 88.5 ppm, assigned to C-4 in cellulose Iα and Iβ, indicated similar proportions of the two crystalline forms. This observation conflicts with a suggestion that plant celluloses can be grouped into the two categories of Iα-rich and Iβ-rich.

    Notes: Abstract Four purified cellulases, a xylanase and mannanase from Trichoderma reesei were used to treat never-dried bleached pine kraft pulp prior to refining, and the effects on pulp properties were evaluated. The enzymatic treatments hydrolysed up to 0.8% of pulp dry weight. The results demonstrated that the individual cellulases have profoundly different modes of action in modifying pulp carbohydrates. This is especially clear when comparing their effects at the same level of hydrolysis. Pretreatment with cellobiohydrolases I (CBH I) and II (CBH II) had virtually no effect on the development of pulp properties during refining, except for a slight decrease in strength properties. On the contrary, endoglucanase I (EG I) and endoglucanase II (EG II) improved the beatability of the pulp as measured by Schopper--Riegler value, sheet density and Gurley air resistance. Of the endoglucanases, EG II was most effective in improving the beating response. The combinations of CBH I with EG I and EG II had similar effects on the pulp properties as the endoglucanases alone, although the amount of hydrolysed cellulose was increased. Pretreatments with xylanase or mannanase did not appear to modify the pulp properties. The same enzyme treatments which improved the beatability, however, slightly impaired the pulp strength, especially tear index at the enzyme dosages used. When compared at a given level of cellulose hydrolysis, the negative effect of EG II on strength properties was more pronounced compared with EG I. Thus, the exploitation of cellulases for fibre treatments requires careful optimization of both enzyme composition and dosage. Since the endoglucanases had no positive effect on the development of tensile strength, it is suggested that the explanation for the increased beating response is increased fibre breakage and formation of fines, rather than improved flexibilization.

    Notes: Abstract An optimized ethanol/water process has been employed for the pulping of fibres from sugar cane bagasse. After pretreatment with aqueous NaOH, unbleached pulps were subjected to benzylation at 110 °C for different periods of time. The resulting purified products were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and infrared spectroscopy (IR). The results showed that benzylation proceeded to various extents depending on the reaction time, as assessed by weight gain. During the first 3 h, a loss of mass was observed due to the occurrence of benzylation of low molecular weight polyoses, which were eliminated in the purification step. After that period of time a drastic weight increase was observed probably because crystalline regions had developed. The samples with low degrees of benzylation were insoluble, whereas the more benzylated counterparts showed limited solubility in THF. Partially soluble samples and a completely soluble one showed very different GPC elution profiles. This may be attributed to the efficiency of the pre treatment which, in the latter case, employed more concentrated alkali. Thermogravimetric analyses showed that all samples were degraded above 310 °C. Glass transition temperatures ranged between 42 °C and 65 °C, increasing as the extent of benzylation increased

    Notes: Abstract Wood-pulp fibres are recognized as concentrically-layered, laminated composite tubes of structural reinforcing material, the cellulose microfibrils, embedded in a cementing matrix of hemicellulose and lignin. When the single fibres are subjected to cyclic mechanical action, their morphological behaviour is characterized by the fatigue growth of micro-voids and surface damage which individually and collectively give rise to stress concentrations, and eventually crack development. The progressive damage phenomena, evinced by the surface imaging and optical sectioning techniques through utilizing confocal laser scanning microscopy, are understood to be consequences of the cumulative material micromechanical degradation and subsequent microstructural breakdown of the cellulose microfibrillar framework. This structural breakdown is believed to effect the fibrillation and flexibilization of the fibres

    Notes: Abstract More than ten β-glycosyltransferases are now recognized that have limited similarity to the amino acid sequence of cellulose synthase from Acetobacter xylinum. Using hydrophobic cluster analysis (HCA), we recently identified two domains and putative catalytic residues in the processive β-glycosyltransferases. In this study, we have found expressed sequence tags (ESTs) from higher plants (Arabidopsis thaliana, Brassica campestris, and Oryza sativa) that exhibit a limited sequence similarity to the A. xylinum cellulose synthase. These ESTs contain some of the conserved residues identified in the processive β-glycosyltransferases. Complete sequencing of an EST clone (T88271) from A. thaliana led to the identification of all the conserved residues in the derived truncated polypeptide which appears to be part of a putative cellulose synthase. Sequence comparison of proteins with known function and several unidentified proteins have the ‘D, D, D35Q(R,Q)XRW’ motif which is considered a strong predictor for β-glycosyltransferasesthat includes, among other proteins, cellulose and chitin synthases. The first two conserved aspartic acid residues in this motif were analysed by site-directed mutagenesis, and their replacement by another amino acid led to a loss of cellulose synthase activity in A. xylinum, suggesting that they are essential for enzyme activity. A correlation between the second residue (R or Q) in the Q(R,Q)XRW sequence and the synthesis of along glucan chain (polysaccharide) or a short glucan chain(oligosaccharide) suggests that this residue may be involved in the degree of processivity

    Notes: Abstract Structural changes in never- dried, disintegrated bacteria l cellulose by treatment with aqueous NaOH were examined by electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometry and acid hydrolysis behaviour and compared with those of cotton cellulose. The microfibril kept its fibrillar morphology after treatment with NaOH solutions of less than 9% (w/w), but changed into irregular aggregates when treated with NaOH above 12% (w/w), corresponding to the crystal conversion to cellulose II. The crystallinity of the resulting cellulose II was very low after a brief alkali treatment, but was increased significantly by elongated treatment (up to 10 days). In contrast, cotton cellulose was converted to cellulose II of fairly high crystallinity by alkali treatment of as little as 3 min duration, and the crystallinity did not change with longer treatments. The leveling-off degree of polymerization (LODP) of bacterial cellulose was decreased from 150 to 50 by 18% (w/w) NaOH treatment, while that of cotton linter decreased from 260 to 70. These characteristic differences between cotton linter cellulose and bacterial cellulose can be ascribed to a basic difference in microfibrillar organization in these materials: the microfibrils in cotton cellulose are in close contact with neighbouring microfibrils having opposite polarity, and in bacterial cellulose are isolated from each other and require chain folding to form the antiparallel cellulose II crystal

    Notes: Abstract Low molecular weight cellulose (degree of polymerization = ca 15) was dissolved in 4-- 30% NaOD/D2O, and relationships between 1H- and 13C-chemical shifts of the cellulose and NaOD concentrations were studied in terms of the dissociation of three hydroxyl groups of cellulose in aqueous NaOH solutions. All C---H proton resonances were shifted upfield linearly with an increase in the NaOD concentration, indicating that all C---H protons of cellulose undergo the electron-shielding effect by NaOH. On the other hand, the shifting patterns of carbon resonances varied among the six carbons: C1 and C4 carbons undergo the electron-shielding effect, whereas C2, C3, C5, and C6 carbons experience the electron-deshielding effect by NaOH. Changes in 13C-chemical shifts of cellulose carbons in 4--30% NaOD/D2O indicate that C3---OH has the highest resistance to dissociation in aqueous NaOH of the three hydroxyl groups of an anhydroglucose residue. It is plausible, at least from the aspects of 13C-chemical shifts, that cellulose molecules dissolving in 20--30% NaOH behave differently from those swollen in 20--30% NaOH as alkali- cellulose

It was found that: (a) the molar substitution (MS) of water-soluble HBPC ranges from 0.4 to 1.0, and is nearly equal to its degree of substitution (DS), indicating that the HBPC derivatives obtained are comb-shaped polymers; (b) the water-soluble HBPC shows a thermally reversible sol-gel transition in aqueous solution; and (c) the derivative having a DS of 0.6 shows surface activity with critical micelle concentration (cmc) in the order of 0.8 g/l and surface tension of 31.5 dyn/cm

    Notes: Abstract Interpretation of the IR hydroxyl absorption bands in cellulose has been limited to the inter- and intramolecularly hydrogen-bonded hydroxyl groups in the crystalline form. This paper attempts to assign IR frequencies due to ‘free‘ or non-hydrogen bonded hydroxyl groups by using a curve fitting method. The almost completely methylated cellulose derivatives of tritylcellulose (previously used in related studies) exhibited small IR bands due to hydroxyl groups. The IR bands were assumed to appear under stereohindered conditions and thus resulted in a mixture of bands which included the contribution of free hydroxyl groups. The curve fitting method deconvoluted the IR bands into three bands in the OH stretching region: they were interpreted in terms of free or hydrogen bonded hydroxyl groups. The assignments were confirmed by comparison of an almost completely methylated derivative with partially methylated derivatives having different degrees of substitution. In addition, intramolecular hydrogen bonds involving OH at the C-3, C-2 and C-6 positions were shown to be easily formed, even between extremely small numbers of unsubstituted hydroxyl groups present, and thus cause perturbation of the specific deconvoluted band.
