Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is characterized by lipid accumulation and liver injury. However, how chronic alcohol consumption causes hepatic lipid accumulation remains elusive. The present study demonstrates that activation of the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) plays a causal role in alcoholic steatosis, inflammation, and liver injury. Chronic‐plus‐binge ethanol feeding led to...
ABSTRACTIn order to improve the edible quality of hybrid indica rice (Type 9718) in China, extrusion technology might be considered to create the so‐called “reformed rice.” Effects of extrusion parameters such as feed water content, barrel temperature and extruder screw speed on physicochemical properties of rice extrudates were investigated. Water‐soluble carbohydrates and enzyme sensitivity (α‐amylase) of extrudates were basically higher than those of parboiled rice. Water absorption index of all extrudates was lower than that of parboiled rice (4.95 g/g), which indicated that extrusion cooking was not only a heating procedure but also a process with shear force, degradation of rice starch. Through statistical analysis, it was found that both barrel temperature and feed water content could positively be correlated with physicochemical properties of extrudates excluding bulk density. Texture studies indicated that hardness of all hybrid indica rice (Type 9718) extrudates was lower than that of cooked raw rice and parboiled rice. The scanning electron microscope images demonstrated that there was indeed a granular gel network formed within the rice extrudates....
