who showed that “fructose rich diet induced the development of phathophysiological characteristics associated with metabolic syndrome”. “The high fructose flux leads to enhanced accumulation of hepatic triglycerides and resulting in impairment of glucose and lipid metabolism”21 . FOOD + BODY In the current study high fructose diet for 6 weeks increased body weight. This finding is in accordance with those of Xolalpa-Molina27 who reported that “studies in humans and animal models suggest

Protein is the substance that fills the cracked muscles and makes a bodybuilder as big as they are? Is that all that protein does? Protein doesn't just help with muscles it also helps with hair and nail growing. Everybody in the world contains protein, without protein death can take place. The human body needs protein for the amino acids. The amino acids help repair cells and also create new ones as well. First i will talk about how protein helps form and make the muscles bigger. Taking in protein

In the process of diffusion, the net movement of molecules is from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. These molecules continue to move until they are distributed uniformly in the solution. The plasma membrane that surrounds the outside of the outside of the cell is selectively permeable, meaning that it allows the passage of certain compounds and molecules through the membrane and into or out of the cell. This experiment was meant to model the process of digestion in a

Diabetes is a medical condition that causes high blood sugar in the human body. This happens either because the body does not produce insulin at all or the insulin produced is not sufficient to move glucose out of the blood and into body cells where it should be broken down into energy. Insulin controls the amount of sugar in the blood. How Apple Cider Vinegar Controls Diabetes The various approaches used in managing diabetes include medication, diet and exercise. Apple cider vinegar has been cited

Elevated blood glucose levels (hyperglycemia) can occur in diabetes mellitus, hyperthyroidism, hyperadrenocorticism, hyperpituitarism, anoxia (because of the instability of liver glycogen in oxygen deficiency), certain physiologic conditions (exposure to cold, digestion) and pancreatic necrosis (because the pancreas produces insulin which controls blood glucose levels). Diabetes mellitus is caused by a deficiency in the secretion or action of insulin. During periods of low blood glucose, glucagon

Carbohydrates start their putrefaction process soon after death. Beginning this procedure, glycogen molecules are broken down into glucose molecules by bacteria. The glucose molecules can then be further decomposed into water and carbon dioxide. Next, the other sugars in the body begin to break down. The products in this decomposition are all organic acids. The organic acids produced vary, however, depending on whether or not oxygen is present. If there is no oxygen near when the bacteria and fungi

from different toad and frog skins. Insulin releasing peptides (peaks 21, 22, 23, 24, 25) purified by reverse phase HPLC from skin secretion of the toad. The result shows that it significantly increases the insulin release by glucose responsive BRIN-BD11 cells compared to glucose alone. This proves that bufo toxin exhibits antidiabetic activity. Another study verifies that it has immunomodulatory activity because the bufo toxin have the ability of activating the proliferation of lymphocyte, specifically

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

it is a negative result. When there are proteins existing in the solution, it will turn bluish/purplish and for this reason it is a positive result. Furthermore in the third control test, we used dextrose to test for simple carbohydrates such as glucose. If the solution does not contain simple carbohydrates, it will not undergo any color change and will remain a blue color. So, it is a negative result in this circumstance. If there are simple carbohydrates present in the solution, the solution will

Cells use a process called cellular respiration to obtain the energy needed. In cellular respiration, cells convert energy molecules like starch or glucose into a cellular energy called Adenosine triphosphate(ATP). There are two types of cellular respiration which include: Aerobic and Anaerobic respiration. In aerobic respiration, cells will break down glucose to release a maximum amount of ATP this takes place in the presence of oxygen. Aerobic also produces carbon dioxide and water as waste products
