Although GTC might reduce cholesterol levels, the present randomized control trial suggests that GTC supplementation in active older participants did not significantly affect cardiovascular risk markers. Future studies should identify more effective combinations of GTC supplementation and physical activity.
Six extracts from raw squid were prepared one each with 6% perchloric acid (PCA), hot water (HW), 80% ethanol (ET), cold water (CW), 80% ethanol after cold water extraction (EW), and cold water after ethanol treatment (CE) and then compared. The amounts of total free amino acids and ATP-related compounds were higher in the PCA, HW, CW, and CE extracts than in the others. The amounts of peptide-bound amino acids and inorganic ions were also high in the HW and CE extracts. However, degradation from ADP to AMP in the HW extract and the production of glucose from glycogen by enzymatic reactions during the extraction process with CE were suggested. Degradation of ATP-related compounds into hypoxanthine was apparent in the CW extract, in addition to an accumulation of glucose and lactic acid. The ET and WE extracts contained a lesser amount of chemical components than the other extracts. Only the amounts of trimethylamine and glucose being higher in the ET extract.Members of the sensory panel judged that the raw common squid taste was reproduced best by CE extraction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
