women it causes a deepening of the voice, increased hair growth on certain body regions, abnormal menstrual cycles. While for both genders, it causes an increase in acne, liver damage, and can be a disruption of puberty (“Effects of Performance Enhancers” 2014). There are many doctors that believe that all substances should be banned but not all. One doctor, Robert Simon, believes it should be the athlete's choice, “If we shouldn’t forbid smokers from risking their health by smoking, why should we
This research paper will explain how the brain uses synapses to store certain memories while others may be lost and how proteins play a major role in this process and could be the answer to solving memory problems in the future. To start, it is important to understand how memory storage occurs. After a series of experiments conducted from 1958-2000, by Dr. Eric R Kandel and numerous colleagues, using a radical reductionist approach, he found evidence for several theories. First, our research suggests
to take this risk. On the contrary, the drugs that these competitors use to enhance their bodies can be the same drugs administered by doctors worldwide. Rules and regulations have been created to restrict and prohibit the use of many performance enhancers like steroids by different organizations such as the World Anti-Doping Agency and the International Olympic Committee. Organizations with the popularity and influence on sports, consult a large board of reliable health experts. Although the number
Ardit Shabani Professor Safet Dabovic Writing 302 11 October 2015 Debunking Paper In the bodybuilding/fitness community there are many products that are sold that are supposed to help optimize your performance and maximize your results. Many of these products, such as creatine, pre-workouts, and protein powders, have a lot of scientific research and testing done to supports its validity. On the other hand, there are many more products that just rely on advertising and marketing, rather than effectiveness
The world of genetics has mainstreamed into medical practice, transforming the way patients are treated. Recently, gene therapy has been propelled into the spotlight with the most recent successful clinical trial in which scientists reprogrammed ordinary cardiac cells in pigs to mirror the function of the sinoatrial node, thereby inducing a steady heartbeat. In the last few decades since its inception, gene therapy has rapidly advanced; there have been remarkable strides in its methods and an increase
To Dr. Mitchell By far the best assignment assigned in this class due to the freedom of choosing the topic you want to talk about. When I opened the instructions about this paper the first thing that popped out on my head was to research on Cannabis since I already had a lot of questions about it and never even bothered on looking up my curiosity. The other reason I chose this was because everyone experiences this at least at some point in their life, and this drug is becoming legalized all over
there are a few studies, which suggested quite the opposite results. Therefore, L-carnitine supplementations have no effects on body weight reductions. Which research is correct? I have reviewed 14 research studies, but only nine were reviewed in full and were deemed eligible for inclusion. I found most of the studies used in this research are class A with exclusion of level B and C studies to ensure
structures such as the brain, central nervous system, skeleton muscle, neural crest, heart, and liver (1) It is highly conservative and consists of 180 base pairs. Homeobox genes had isolated from Xenopus, mouse, and humans. There are about 333 homeobox loci in the human genome(z). The well-known homoebox gene is HOX gene, which plays an important role in embryogenesis. Such a mutation in one of these genes leads to phenotypes alterations. This paper provides overview about one Hox gene, which is MSX1(2)
Abstract The following paper explores the subject of the Garcinia Cambogia Extract Diet Pills, and how this supplement’s main ingredient, hydroxycitric acid (HCA), contrary to manufacturer advertising, does not lead to weight loss. In fact, both Garcinia Cambogia and HCA can prove to be harmful to health if taken in large doses or for a long period of time. Because it is a supplement and not considered a drug, the Food and Drug Administration does not monitor it. Garcinia Cambogia was also an active
broken down, ATP releases energy and a by product adenosine diphosphate, or ADP. Unfortunately, the body only has a limited amount of ATP and has to be replenished in order for it to properly function. The energy system that will be discussed in this paper is the phosphocreatine system, which is used in high power, short duration activities. In the phosphocreatine system, ATP is produced when there is a high demand for energy, as said previously, in activities such as the 100 meter sprint. This process
