Abstract: Provided is a food composition that comprises a plurality of amino acids or the salts thereof, wherein the plurality of amino acids or the salts thereof comprise about 0.0016-0.6 wt % of glycine or the salt thereof and about 0.00109-1.2 wt % of serine or the salt thereof. Also provided is a method for treating cancer in a subject in need thereof, comprising partly or completely substituting or replacing the normal diet of the subject with the food composition, and optionally administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an anti-PD-1 antibody or an anti-PD-Li antibody.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a formulated pectin composition for lowering food glycemic index (GI) value. The formulated pectin composition comprises low-ester pectin and metal salt of bivalent/trivalent cation, with or without soluble polysaccharides. The formulated pectin composition may comprise the components: pectin and metal salt of bivalent or trivalent cation, in the following weight percentages: the pectin 94.3-97.1% and the metal salt of bivalent or trivalent cation 2.9-5.7%.

Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to a Source Terminal Replication Compensation Circuit for simulating an accurate fraction of a load current. In an illustrative example, a Source Terminal Replication Compensation Circuit (STRCC) may be connected to a motor driving circuit. The STRCC, for example, may include a simulation transistor configured to have a simulated structure of a main transistor in a motor driving circuit. The STRCC may include, for example, a disturbance rejection module (DRM). The DRM may be connected to a source terminal of the sense transistor, and a source terminal of the main transistor. When the DRM is connected to a current sensing resistor, a sense current is generated as a predetermined fraction of a load current of the motor driving circuit, wherein the predetermined fraction is less than 1%. Various embodiments may advantageously reduce heat dissipations at the current sensor resistor.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a formulated pectin for reducing food GI, comprising low-ester pectin and metal salt of bivalent/trivalent cation, with or without soluble polysaccharides. The components of the formulated pectin, according to the present disclosure, are synergistic with each other and can be added to a carbohydrate-based medium and high GI food to achieve the effect of lowering the GI value of the food through a unique physical reaction in the gastrointestinal tract, thereby obtaining a corresponding low GI food. In preparing the low GI food containing said formulated pectin of the present disclosure, only a small amount of said formulated pectin is required to be added to the raw material, and then customarily cooked or baked, allowing little effect on the processing, and almost no impact on the food taste and status. The food can be effective over a wide range of cooking temperatures.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an amino acid composition and functional food affecting tumor growth and the use thereof, which falls within the technical field of amino acids. The present disclosure is capable of effectively inhibiting the growth of cancer cells and tumor tissues by strictly limiting the content of serine and glycine and increasing alanine content through cancer cell culture and studies of the transcriptome and metabolic mechanism. Therefore, the functional protein or food developed by the present disclosure, with strictly limited serine and glycine content and increased alanine content, can be advantageous in exerting an anti-tumor effect.
