Global Church Of God
The Global Church of God (GCG) is a Sabbatarian church based in England. It was founded in Glendora, CA in 1992 by Roderick C. Meredith. Following the dissolution of most church operations in the United States, GCG's operations shifted to the United Kingdom and reestablished a presence in North America under new organizational identities. History and background Roderick C. Meredith had been a minister in the Worldwide Church of God (WCG) for 40 years. He established GCG in response to a number of major doctrinal shifts in WCG. GCG is one of the many Sabbatarian Churches of God to form after WCG's 1995 schism. Herbert W. Armstrong had founded the WCG as a radio ministry (originally called the Radio Church of God) in 1934. Over the next 50 years, the church developed an international presence through ''The Plain Truth'' magazine, ''The World Tomorrow'' radio and television programs, and three campuses of Ambassador College in the U.S. and England. The WCG taught certain contr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gallocatechin Gallate
Gallocatechin gallate (GCG) is the ester of gallocatechin and gallic acid and a type of catechin. It is an epimer of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). In a high temperature environment, an epimerization In stereochemistry, an epimer is one of a pair of diastereomers. The two epimers have opposite configuration at only one stereogenic center out of at least two. All other stereogenic centers in the molecules are the same in each. Epimerization is t ... change is likely to occur, because heating results in the conversion from EGCG to GCG. According to the referenced study the resulting GCG (the epimer of EGCG) results in even lower dietary cholesterol absorption than occurs with EGCG. While this may be a beneficial outcome with respect to cholesterol reduction activity, for those wishing to maximize the EGCG content of green tea infusions, it is still appropriate to use high temperatures, as long as it is taking into account that extreme conditions will lead to small reductions in ...

The Grilled Cheese Grill
The Grilled Cheese Grill is a restaurant focusing on gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches in Portland, Oregon, United States. Established in 2009, the restaurant became known for its highly successful food carts.

His family went on holiday to Portland as a child since he had uncles, aunts and cousins residing in the city. In 2007, he moved to Portland, and on April 20, 2009, opened the first GCG location on Alberta Street. Locations The GCG has used unconventional locations for its restaurants. One location, which was located on Alberta Street in Portland, was an airstream-school bus combination. The kitchen was in the renovated airstream, while the old school bus had been converted to be a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Geological Curators' Group
The Geological Curators' Group (GCG) is a United Kingdom-based registered charity and a membership organisation. GCG's aims are, "to advance the education of the public in geology in particular by improving the standard of geological curation and by improving displays and information in public museums and other institutions." It is recognised by the Arts Council as one of 37 organisations in the Subject Specialist Network Programme that support, "the development of knowledge and expertise associated with specialist collections and their contribution to public engagement, education and enjoyment". The GCG is affiliated to the Geological Society of London as a specialist group, and it shares a Memorandum of Understanding with the Natural Sciences Collections Association (NatSCA) and the Society for the Preservation of Natural History Collections. History The inaugural meeting of the group was held on 17 May 1974 at the Geological Society's premises at Burlington House. Publicati ...

Proglucagon
Proglucagon is a protein that is cleaved from preproglucagon. Preproglucagon in humans is encoded by the ''GCG'' gene. Proglucagon is a precursor of glucagon, and several other components. It is generated in the alpha cells of the pancreas and in the intestinal L cells in the distal ileum and colon. It is also cleaved into the following components in different organs: * Signal peptide (1-20) – removed from preproglucagon to form proglucagon * Glicentin (21–89) * Glicentin-related pancreatic polypeptide (GRPP, 21-50) * Oxyntomodulin (OXY or OXM, 53–89) * Glucagon (53–81) * Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1, 92–128) – first seven residues further cleaved * Glucagon-like peptide 2 (GLP-2, 146–178) Proglucagon itself is a protein with three repeats of slightly different secretin family hormones to be cleaved to form mature hormones.

Ghost Cell Glaucoma
Ghost cell glaucoma (GCG) is a type of secondary glaucoma occurs due to long standing vitreous hemorrhage. The rigid and less pliable degenerated red blood cells (ghost cells) block the trabecular meshwork and increase the pressure inside eyes. Pathophysiology The ghost cells develop within the vitreous cavity, 1–3 weeks after vitreous hemorrhage. They obstruct the trabecular meshwork and eventually the pressure inside eye (intraocular pressure) increases and leads to glaucoma. A variety of ocular conditions may cause GCG. Main causes include ocular trauma, diabetes, sickle cell disease, uveitis, UGH syndrome, many eye surgeries etc. Signs and symptoms Myriad small cells may be seen in the aqueous humor during slit lamp examination. Intraocular pressure rises up to 30 to 70 mm Hg. The increased intraocular pressure may cause blurring of vision, headache, brow ache, nausea and/or vomiting. The angle of anterior chamber is seen open with gonioscopy. Complications If the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Alanine
Alanine (symbol Ala or A), or α-alanine, is an α-amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins. It contains an amine group and a carboxylic acid group, both attached to the central carbon atom which also carries a methyl group side chain. Consequently, its IUPAC systematic name is 2-aminopropanoic acid, and it is classified as a nonpolar, aliphatic α-amino acid. Under biological conditions, it exists in its zwitterionic form with its amine group protonated (as −NH3+) and its carboxyl group deprotonated (as −CO2−). It is non-essential to humans as it can be synthesised metabolically and does not need to be present in the diet. It is encoded by all codons starting with GC (GCU, GCC, GCA, and GCG). The L-isomer of alanine (left-handed) is the one that is incorporated into proteins. L-alanine is second only to leucine in rate of occurrence, accounting for 7.8% of the primary structure in a sample of 1,150 proteins. The right-handed form, D-alanine, occurs in p ...
