A PHYTOCHEMICAL-SENSING STRATEGY BASED ON MASS SPECTROMETRY IMAGING AND METABOLIC PROFILING FOR UNDERSTANDING THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE MEDICINAL HERB GREEN TEA

A Phytochemical-Sensing Strategy Based on Mass Spectrometry Imaging and Metabolic Profiling for Understanding the Functionality of the Medicinal Herb Green Tea

Low-molecular-weight phytochemicals have health benefits and reduce the risk of diseases, but the mechanisms underlying their activities have remained elusive because of the lack of a methodology that can easily visualize the exact behavior of such small molecules.Recently, we developed an in situ label-free imaging technique, called mass spectrome

Task-dependent inhibition of slow-twitch soleus and excitation of fast-twitch gastrocnemius do not require high movement speed and velocity-dependent sensory feedback

Although individual heads of triceps surae, soleus (SO) and medial gastrocnemius (MG) muscles, are often considered close functional synergists, previous studies have shown distinct activity patterns between them in some motor behaviors.The goal of this study was to test two hypotheses explaining inhibition of slow SO with respect to fast MG: (1) i
