Water relations of simple sugar solutions and skim milk powder as studied by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy
The water mobility in simple sugar-water systems as a function of sugar concentration was monitored by $\sp1$H, $\sp2$H and $\sp1$H decoupled $\sp{17}$O NMR transverse relaxation rates (R$\sb2$). For all three nuclei, R$\sb2$ increased with increasing sugar concentration with different magnitude …

Impacts of organic and conventional neurotoxic pesticides on a pest and a pollinator in almond agroecosystems (Prunus dulcis)
… mellifera) to the presence of pesticides in a sugar water solution, including neonicotinoids currently or previously used in almond orchards for management of navel orangeworm or other pests. Sugar water feeders containing imidacloprid at 5 ng/mL were more attractive to free-flying honey bees …

Effects of nutrition on honey bee microbiology, disease occurrence, and hive growth
… health. The supplementation was mixed in 1:1 sugar-water and mimicked nectar and pollen, consisting of protein, vitamins, and minerals. Control hives were fed 1:1 sugar-water only. To assess gut bacterial community structure before, during, and after feeding treatments, I used 16S rRNA gene …

Discerning Patterns of Floral Sugar-Feeding: Dynamics of the Mosquito Culex antillummagnorum in Puerto Rico
<p>Mosquitoes rely on sugar feeding for survival, primarily from flowering plants, yet mosquito–plant interactions remain understudied. I examined plant-feeding associations of the mosquito <em>Culex antillummagnorum</em> in the Luquillo Experimental Forest of Puerto Rico, which may clarify …

Influencing habitat selection and use through conspecific attraction and supplementary feeding
… Canterbury, New Zealand. Feeders filled with sugar water were available for five to six consecutive days and during observation hours the effect of song playback was tested. Variation in bird numbers resulting from experimental treatments was recorded using five-minute bird counts prior to …

Effects of Proton Radiation and Pomegranates on Hippocampus and Behavior
… (48 receiving pomegranate juice and 48 receiving sugar water control in their drinking bottles) underwent a battery of behavioral tests to assess baseline cognitive and motor functions and were then either irradiated with proton radiation (2 Gy at 150 MeV/n at 1-2 Gy/min) or sham irradiated. 2 Gy …

Exercise Training Improves Cerebrovascular Oxidative Stress Regulation and Insulin Stimulated Vasodilation in Juvenile and Mature Pigs
… to 1 kg of feed per pig per day, as well as sugar water (~5 L per pig of 10% solution). At euthanasia, cerebral arteries were dissected for pressure myography experiments. Vascular diameter was tracked continuously and vasomotor responses to insulin (1e-9-1e-6 M) and ET1 (1e-12-1e-7 M) were …

Investigating the bioprotective properties of sugars
… properties of osmolytes, specifically sugars on biomolecule such as protein. The strategy used in this study involved the utilisation of surfactant-rich micelles; where by the impact sugars have on the free energy of exposure of hydrocarbon groups present within the surfactant micelles …

A systems biology approach to the pathogenesis and progression of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
… and cholesterol (Western Diets), with/without sugar water (American Lifestyle approach) are the closest models to human NASH and, therefore, the most representative of human pathophysiology. Additionally, some genetic models of obesity (ob/ob, MC4r) augment liver damage induced by these diets, …
