Changes in the human environment, behaviour and lifestyle are contributing to the upsurge in the incidence of diabetes. However, better management has resulted in a longer survival of patients with diabetes but it is accompanied by long-term chronic complications due to hyperglycemia 1. Individuals with diabetes most often die of cardiovascular disease (CVD) rather than from a cause uniquely related to diabetes, such as ketoacidosis or hypoglycemia2,3. Diabetic patients have a twofold to sixfold

risk of heart attacks, and lower chances of diabetes. Social drinking is used by many people globally. Kloner et al.(2007) from the School of Public Health at Harvard University found that "moderate amounts of alcohol raises levels of high-density lipoprotein, and higher HDL levels are associated with greater protection against heart disease. Moderate alcohol consumption has also been linked with beneficial changes ranging from better sensitivity to insulin to improvements in factors that influence

But why is everyone saying cholesterol is bad for you? It turns out there are two types of cholesterol: HDL, or high density lipoprotein, and LDL, or low density lipoprotein cholesterol. LDL cholesterol can build up in your arteries and cause calcification and stenosis, or inelasticity, which has lead to LDL being called “bad” cholesterol. These conditions cause heart disease and damage the heart

One sport that I did not even view as a sport before is weightlifting. What is weightlifting? It is the sport or activity of lifting barbells or other heavy weights. However, it is more than just that. Like many sportive activities, they all benefit the ones who are active and committed. Nevertheless, weightlifting is a good benefactor on the muscles, bones, joints, and the common risks of the human body. “Weightlifting strengthens your bones and can help you stay active and healthy as you age” is

transported to and from the cells by lipoproteins: LDL and HDL. LDL cholesterol is considered to be the ”bad” cholesterol, since it contributes in depositing plaque in the arteries, therefore contributing to atherosclerosis. HDL, on the other hand, is considered to be the” good” cholesterol since it has the opposite effect; it removes the LDL cholesterol from the arteries carrying it back to the liver, therefore reducing risks of atherosclerosis. Maintaining the low levels of LDL and high levels of HDL

body makes all of the cholesterol that it needs, but it can also be found in animal proteins. There are two different types of cholesterol; the good cholesterol, High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and the bad cholesterol, Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (American Heart Association, 2014). LDL and HDL are lipoproteins that carry the cholesterol where it needs to go in the body. When a person has a higher than normal amount of LDL cholesterol he or she has a higher risk of plaque growth

Introduction: This study examines the ATP binding cassette transporters, ABCA1 and ABCG1 and their presence in the small intestines (GI tract) during a chronic inflammatory disease, diabetes mellitus (type 2 diabetes). ABCA1 and G1 are important in the regulation of glucose levels in the blood in the small intestine when type 2 diabetes is present. The relationship of the gastrointestinal tract and diabetes mellitus has become increasingly important in the scientific community. The GI tract plays

Most people consume 25-35 percent of their total daily calorie count from fat; however, only 10 percent should come from saturated fats. There are two different types of trans fat, artificial and naturally occurring. In order to make artificial trans fat, an industrial process adds hydrogen to liquid vegetable oil, to make it more solid. This type of trans fat raises the LDL (bad) cholesterol level and lowers the HDL (good) cholesterol levels. This increases the risk of heart disease and stroke,

project ¨ Is an egg denser in saltwater or tap water?¨ While doing this project, I found a lot of things out. Objects such as eggs sink in liquids when their denser is greater than the liquid their in. It helps keep less denser materials floating. Density means the degree of compactness of a substance. I will be using EB eggs in my project. EB eggs are also known as England's Best. Since we will be using eggs in my experiment, that´s what’s we are going to be talking about. The outer layer of a egg

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
