Phloem and Sugar Transport02:02

Phloem and Sugar Transport

39.8K
Like many living organisms, plants have tissues that specialize in specific plant functions. For example, shoots are well adapted to rapid growth, while roots are structured to acquire resources efficiently. However, sugar production is primarily restricted to the photosynthetic cells that reside in the leaves of angiosperm plants. Sugar and other resources are transported from photosynthetic tissues to other specialized tissues by a process called translocation.

A Modified Trier Social Stress Test for Vulnerable Mexican American Adolescents

13.4K
Here, we present a protocol that provoked cortisol reactivity in a vulnerable adolescent Mexican American sample utilizing a modified version of the Trier Social Stress Test (TSST). Saliva samples were collected at baseline, 15, 30, and 45 min post-TSST onset. Future research could utilize this modified TSST with vulnerable...

Summary

Only 20.1% of adolescents meet recommended added sugar intake limits. Factors like male sex, older age, and better diet quality were linked to lower added sugar consumption, highlighting behavioral links.

Area of Science:

  • Nutrition Science
  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • High added sugar intake is a global concern, particularly among adolescents.
  • Dietary guidelines recommend limiting added sugars to less than 5% of total daily energy intake.
  • Understanding factors associated with added sugar consumption is crucial for public health interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To estimate the prevalence of added sugar intake within recommended limits among adolescents.
  • To investigate associations between meeting these limits and demographic, socioeconomic, and behavioral factors.
  • To identify potential targets for interventions aimed at reducing excessive added sugar consumption.

Main Methods:

  • Population-based, cross-sectional study utilizing two-stage cluster sampling.
  • Dietary intake assessed via 24-hour dietary recall to quantify free sugar.
  • Analysis included demographic data, socioeconomic indicators, health behaviors (e.g., screen time), and diet quality scores.

Main Results:

  • Only 20.1% of the 924 adolescents met the recommendation of <5% energy from added sugar.
  • Higher adherence was observed in males, older adolescents (15-19 years), and those born outside São Paulo.
  • Adherence was also associated with less screen time, fewer household appliances, and higher diet quality scores.

Conclusions:

  • Adolescents often exceed recommended added sugar intake levels.
  • Factors such as sex, age, socioeconomic status, screen time, and overall diet quality are associated with added sugar consumption.
  • Excessive sugar intake often co-occurs with other unhealthy behaviors, suggesting a need for comprehensive lifestyle interventions.
