and metabolism are very complicated processes that involve many physiological and physicochemical factors. Adequate information about the processes determining the oral F of a drug is essential for a successful drug development process. In the recent years, our knowledge about the expression of drug-metabolizing enzymes in the intestinal wall has expanded. In addition, the availability of in vitro and in vivo data has clearly demonstrated the significant contribution of intestinal metabolism in mediating
has a long historical association with health and wellbeing globally, with brands such as Actimel, Yacult and various other brands from yogurts to pills and powders form flooding the consumer market; scientific research into how this impacts the intestinal environment is still evolving. However, with the vast developments in research and better scientific techniques, a greater understanding of the ‘Gut microbiota’ (also known as gut microflora) and its significance to human health is gaining widespread
Purpose Statement My essay, “The Immediate Effect Diet has on Your Microbiome,” will be presented to my classmates and instructor Jaime Astacio. It is a summary and response to Tim Spector’s article, “What a Hunter-Gatherer Diet does to the Body in Just Three Days.” This will be a class discussion and I would greatly appreciate constructive feedback from my peers. The topic explores health and well-being, which is very relevant today due visible social standards. Tim’s editorial takes place in
discovery and drug development. Drug discovery is the process by which a new drug candidate is found and identified. Distinctively, bringing a new drug candidate to the market through clinical trials is called drug development. The first part of this essay provides an overview of drug discovery and pre-clinical research and development An Overview of Drug Discovery and Pre-clinical Research and Development At pre-discovery stage, it will
Introduction: In this essay, we will be writing about the drug theophylline and its biochemical function at the level of the molecule, how it affects metabolism by inhibiting the functions of enzymes. The essay will similarly look at the uses and adverse effects of the drug in treating specific disease conditions, thereby explaining its effect on metabolism. Finally, we consider why theophylline is classified as an allosteric inhibitor. Theophylline Drug as Natural and its Chemical Structure The
Gaucher’s disease (GD) is the most common lysosome storage disease in the world. There are three types of Gaucher’s. All types except type 1 are neuropathic form. Type 2 specifically is the most lethal and Type 3 neurological symptoms are need of the most support. Type 1 GD, can be observed in an individual as early as infancy into adulthood. The disease causes symptoms in skeletal, lungs, skin, eyes, lymphatic, blood and visceral organs. The drug Eliglustat is an agent that is used to treat type
This essay is going to examine the human digestive system from beginning to end and discuss the digestive process of a simple meal of baked potato and cheddar cheese including the food groups it is made up of, how the body breaks the food down and how it is absorbed and subsequently assimilated. This will be achieved by analysing a range of scientific sources in order to gain full understanding of the human body and the way the digestive system works. The digestive system is also known as the alimentary
This essay is about the impacts of foraging mode on the morphology, physiology and ecology of snakes. But before exploring the impacts, need to understand how or why snakes select particular habitats, be it a desert, grassland, rainforest, aquatic, etc. whether active during the day or night is also important. The reason is foraging mode (food that an animal eat and the way it obtains it) is central to their ecology. It is important to note that snakes have undergone adaptive measures since their
in depth analysis on how proteins fats carbohydrates and fiber take part in an everyday diet and what are these functions. This is intended to broaden my views of a healthy lifestyle, and how to achieve it through a variety of food groups. In this essay the resources utilized where provided by the educational institute with the purpose of facilitating my research objectives. Food Intake – 3 Days In my recorded daily intake the foods that provided
definition, is a term used to describe ones natural desire for food. It differs from hunger and satiety, and it is affected by a host of neural, hormonal and physical factors that may vary between individuals. This essay sets out to explain how these factors affect the appetite. In doing so the essay will explore the different regions of the brain (and the body) involved in its regulation and control, and the ways in which these areas may be pharmacologically and surgically manipulated to control the appetite
