Biochemical Pathways of Heavy Metals Poisoning BIO101 (Principles of Biology) 6 July 2012 Abstract The biochemical pathways of heavy metal poisoning are routes by which the metals pass in the body as they impair and destroy normal cellular and organ activity. The most common types of heavy metal poisoning are caused by lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury. They are also the most extensively studied at the moment. Lead poisoning occurs mainly by the inhibitory effect that the metal imposes on enzymes

Introduction Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disorder (COPD) is a very prevalent disease in the world today with the most common cause being related to tobacco smoke. Not only is it associated with lung disease, but it has also been seen to be linked with many other comorbidities. However, the most concerning effect that COPD has on the body is towards the muscular dysfunction of skeletal muscle. Reasons, that are independent of lung function, that make this so concerning includes; an overall decrease

The dilatory effect may be due to increase elasticity of the elastic fibers of the supporting tissue surrounding the alveolar duct and the openings of the alveolar sacs and alveoli this is similar effect produced by ethanolic extract of shoot system of Garcinia kola (Ofusori et al., 2008). In our study the seed extract effect on treated lung may be due its antioxidant properties that might be beneficial effect since there was no abnormal effect on its anatomical change. Antixoidant protect cells

Cinnamon is a well-known spice and it is the second most important spice used in the US and European markets. It has antimicrobial, antioxidant, antiulcerogenic, anti-diabetic, and analgesic effects (218,219). Cinnamon is beneficial for the health of patients with type 2 diabetes (220). The oils and extracts from Cinnamomum zeylanicum L. possess a powerful antioxidant activity due to the presence of phenolic and polyphenolic substances (221). Cinnamomum zeylanicum demonstrated numerous beneficial

Vitamin C: A Health Promoting Nutritional Supplement There are many substances that occur naturally or that are manufactured through processes in the laboratory, which function to enhance the nutritional content of the food that composes one’s diet. These substances that function to enhance the nutritional content of food, also have the ability to reduce the likelihood of disease and illness, strengthen the immune system, and improve performance in everyday activity. There are a wide variety of

Staphylococci are nonmotile, non-spore forming, spherical, catalase-positive, gram-positive bacteria. Staphylococci are classified as either coagulase-positive or coagulase-negative. Staphylococcus epidermidis lack the enzyme coagulase and are classified as a coagulase-negative staphylococcus (CoNS) (John et al.; Namvar et al.; Otto; Tortora et al. 591). Because of their thick peptidoglycan layer, gram-positive cocci are well suited for survival in harsh conditions, including living in areas with

Next, we analyzed mtDNA damage by the qPCR using a ratio of 10kb (long) versus 117 bp (short) fragments as previously described (13, 14). Amplification of a long fragment depends on mtDNA damage. However, amplification efficiency of a short fragment is independent on mtDNA damage. We found higher mtDNA damage (Fig. 10A) and lower mitochondria amount (Fig. 10B) in emphysema in comparison with controls. We also wanted to analyze changes in mitochondrial amount in A549 cells treated with H2O2 for 0

The measurement of antioxidant status can also evaluate the PEM. Khare et al. concluded that stress is present in PEM as a result of free reactive oxygen radicles and these cause membrane lipid peroxidation and thus change in oxidant and antioxidant levels in the body may predict the disease grading in PEM (Khare et al.) 2- Why nitrogen balance studies are considered to be better than the factorial method to estimate protein requirements

Mobile phone exposure and carcinogenesis Brain cancer is the most frightening hazard of mobile phone use. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified RF fields as “possibly carcinogenic to humans,” in 2002 in spite of limited evidence from human and animal studies (IARC, 2002). The relation between mobile phone radiation exposure and cancer are justified. Muscat et al. (2000) showed that a relationship exists between mobile phone use and meningioma or glioma. A meta-analysis
