Tommy shows you a recent blood test report in which normal levels LDL and triglyceride are
The use of multiple test tubes and Parafilm was used for each experiment. Catechol, potato juice, pH 7 phosphate buffer, and stock potato extract 1:1 will be used to conduct the following experiments: temperature effect on enzyme activity, the effect of pH on enzyme action, the effect of enzyme concentration, and the effect of substrate concentration on enzyme activity. For the temperature effect on enzyme activity, three test tube were filled with three ml of pH 7 phosphate buffer and each test tube was labels 1.5 degrees Celsius, 20 °C, and 60 °C. The first test tube was placed in an ice-water bath, the second test tube was left at room temperature, and the third test tube was placed in approximately 60°C of warm water. After filling the test tubes with three ml of the
Catechin has been shown to modulate the hepatic microsomal phospholipase A2 activities. It can change the hepatic phospholipid species in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats [78]. On the other hand epigallocatechin gallate, a constituent of green tea, represses the hepatic glucose production. EGCG also mimics insulin by increasing phosphoinositide 3-kinase, mitogen-activated protein kinase. Furthermore, EGCG has been shown to regulate genes that encode gluconeogenic enzymes and protein-tyrosine phosphorylation by modulating the redox state of the cell. These finding suggest that EGCG, or derivatives can perform as antidiabetic agent [79]. Green tea has also been shown in vivo to down regulate the hepatic gluconeogenic gene-expressions of enzymes. The results of this study support the idea that green tea intake may be favorable in the prevention of diabetes mellitus [80]. Diabetes is multi-causal disease. Even the onset of the disease is caused by a single factor but its progression and pathogenesis may be attributed by a number of confounding factors. So, in some
This indicates that the metabolism of proteins was apparently affected by Ch.t extract. The improvement on the levels of protein and albumin in the diabetic treated groups show that Ch.t extract have significant effect in glucose and protein level because insulin inhibit gluconeogenesis from protein [ ] or could be due to improvement in renal function. This affirmative agrees with the fact that the weight of skeletal muscles was significantly increase in diabetic rats treated with Ch.t extract. The decrease in albumin level documented for diabetic rats may be due to liver massive necrosis, deterioration of liver function, hepatic resistance to insulin and glycogen impairment of oxidative phosphorylation[ ].Under the same experimental conditions serum globulin level revealed an appreciable decrease[ ]. The renal pathogenesis is related to duration of diabetes, the most devastating complication with diabetes is nephropathy[
The first objective is to study the effect of food processing on molecular structure of processed food. This objective will be achieved through applying detailed molecular structure characterization studies on food processed under different processing parameters. This objective is aiming fundamental knowledge on processing effect on food structure with relating food structure to their functionality.
In a study conducted in 1985 observing primates, it was determined that the major effect of dietary cholesterol is its LDL raising effects. High intakes of cholesterol increase the number of circulating LDL’s and it can also change its size and composition. [12] It was during this time period that the mechanisms by which SFA are thought to increase blood cholesterol concentrations came about. One mechanism for the increase in LDL cholesterol levels is the suppression of LDL receptor activity. Studies in tissue cultures have shown that increasing the cholesterol content of a cell will down-regulate synthesis of LDL receptors. [13] This will lead to an increase in concentration of blood cholesterol. Another cause for an increase in blood cholesterol concentration through intake of dietary SFA is the composition of the newly secreted lipoproteins. With a high saturated fat intake, the LDL’s become rich in cholesterol esters, leaving the triglycerides in the blood. [14] The use of non-human primates in
Introduction: In this lab, we studied biomolecules. Biomolecules are molecules that are existent in all living organisms. The four biomolecules, we are learning in class are proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acid. The three biomolecules being addressed in the lab are proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids.
Objective: The purpose of this experiment was to discover the exact change of enzyme activity of catalase and how it corresponded to temperatures, by measuring the rate of appearance of a product. Introduction: Enzymes are substances produced by living organisms, in which act as a catalyst.
Purple corn is a Peruvian superfood with more antioxidants than blueberries. This corn contains many phytonutrients including large amounts of polyphenols and anthocyanins, which protect the blood vessels. Studies show that plants with high anthocyanins and phenolic constituents have the highest antioxidant activity. Anthocyanins are a type of complex flavonoid that plants give a blue, purple or red. Anthocyanins are acting anti-inflammatory and stimulate the regeneration of connective tissue.
This fat is triglycerides and is made up of excess calories, alcohol and sugar. Since this fat is directly from the diet, cholesterol testing can help show what can be done to decrease it and prevent coronary artery disease.
Hi Mr. Brown how are you today? On today`s visit we will be going over your cholesterol panel we receive back all your test results for your cholesterol levels. Your triglycerides levels are at 145 milligrams per deciliter. Your levels are under the normal range of 145 milligrams per deciliter, which is good because your levels are under the high borderline which is between 150 to 199 milligrams per deciliter. This is great that your levels are normal Mr. Brown because Triglycerides are a type of fat known as lipid that’s found in your blood. When you eat food, your body converts any calories it doesn 't need to use right away into triglycerides. The triglycerides are stored in your fat cells. After the hormones are released into triglycerides for energy between meals. If you eat more calories than you burn, then the calories like fats and carbohydrates, can cause you to have a high triglycerides result. So basically, Triglycerides help in the digesting process and breaking down the fats in the food we eat. The results for your cholesterol level are 210 milligrams per deciliter which is borderline high considering, the normal range for cholesterol levels are less than 180 milligrams per deciliter. Since your body has to have cholesterol to make Vitamin D, your hormones, and it also helps with the digestion of the meals you eat. See cholesterol is like a wax, fat like substance that is found in the cells in our bodies.
Cholesterol is a compound chemical that contributes to coronary artery disease, which have a various risk factors which includes poor dieting, smoking, and a family medical history. This disease is very high risks, its one which runs in my family, and family history.
The purpose of this lab was to test 12 different aqueous solutions containing macromolecules, 11 of which were controls while the final one was an unknown. Three different test were carried on each of the 12 samples. The first was an iodine test for the presents of either starch and glycogen in the sample. Iodine is a clear colourless liquid before being added to any of the solutions. The way starch is identified is by the solution turning blue-black.The solution does this because of the amylose in the starch, amylose and amylopectin are the two parts that make up a starch, amylose is made up of 200 to 5,000 alpha -D-glucose, which coil into a tight spring structure(Toole, 2004). When the iodine is added it is pushed by the starch into the middle of this coil this creates a tight helix and this turns the solution black/ dark blue.(Ophardt, 2003) The way Glycogen is identified is when the solution turns reddish-brown. Glycogen is very similar to amylopectin as it is made up of alpha glucose units joined at 1-4 and 1-6 and it is a branched structure. (Toole, 2004) Iodine affects glycogen similarly as it does amylose.
How did the experts treat diabetes before they found the insulin? There are different remedial plants that are greatly extraordinary as against diabetic pros, with respect to occurrence beans and an expansive number of them have been starting now used as a part of the standard solution.
Diabetes Mellitus is “a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action or both. It is a disease which is caused by the insufficient insulin secretion or decrease in the peripheral effects of insulin. It is a serious problem in terms of morbidity and mortality. The hyperglycemia is associated with long term damage, dysfunction and failure of various organs especially the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart and blood vessels. It’s associated with many complications which includes blindness of the eyes and amputations of the extremities. It is also associated with neuropathy, retinopathy, and cardiovascular diseases which lead to mortalities.
