A tryptic hydrolysate from bovine milk alphaS1-casein improves sleep in rats subjected to chronic mild stress

The putative effects of a tryptic bovine alphaS1-casein hydrolysate on stress-induced sleep disorders were investigated and their possible link with typical blood stress parameters such as plasma cort…

Radially polarized ring and arc beams of a neodymium laser with an intra-cavity axicon.

Placing a Brewster-angle axicon inside a laser resonator makes it possible to produce a radially-polarized (RP) oscillation pattern distributed on a thin ring or a portion of a ring. Laser-diode end-p…

Behavioural and cognitive effects of oligofructose-enriched inulin in rats

The behavioural and cognitive effects of oligofructose-enriched inulin at the doses of 5 and 10 % in the diet, orally ingested daily during 2 weeks, were investigated using a functional observational …

Effects of a tryptic hydrolysate from bovine milk alphaS1-casein on hemodynamic responses in healthy human volunteers facing successive mental and physical stress situations

BACKGROUND: Preclinical results in rats have demonstrated anxiolytic-like effects of a tryptic bovine alphaS1-casein hydrolysate. AIM OF THE STUDY: We investigated the putative effects of thi…

The endogenous androgen-regulated sialorphin modulates male rat sexual behavior

In sexually mature male rats, sialorphin is synthesized under androgenic control and its surge endocrine secretion is evoked in response to environmental acute stress. These findings led us to suggest…

Effects of different germination conditions on the contents of free protein and non-protein amino acids of commercial legumes

Seeds of beans, lentils and peas were germinated for 2, 4 and 6 days, either under continuous light or continuous dark, and the free amino acids analysed by HPLC. The effects of germination on the fre…

Sialorphin, a natural inhibitor of rat membrane-bound neutral endopeptidase that displays analgesic activity

Sialorphin is an exocrine and endocrine signaling mediator, which has been identified by a genomic approach. It is synthesized predominantly in the submandibular gland and prostate of adult rats in re…

The delivery rate of dietary carbohydrates affects cognitive performance in both rats and humans

RATIONALE: Glucose is the main metabolic fuel of the brain. The rate of glucose delivery from food to the bloodstream depends on the nature of carbohydrates in the diet, which can be summarized as …
