development of plaque deposits in the arterial wall (Lopez-Jimenez, 2015). Low density lipoproteins (LDL) is made by the liver to transport cholesterol. These may form deposits on walls of arteries and other blood vessels which may cause heart attack, stroke and formation of plaques in arterial body walls (webmd.com). As triglyceride is removed from VLDL, intermediate density lipoproteins (IDL) are formed. These intermediate density lipoprotein also promote plaque formation in the walls of arteries. All
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
However, the discovery of the pharmacological class, Statins of which Lipitor and Compound X belongs, which inhibits HMG CoA reductase, an enzyme which catalyzes the conversion of HMG CoA to mevalonic acid, an early and rate limiting step in the biosynthesis of cholesterol, has greatly improved the management of patients of patients with hyperlipidemia (Bertolini et.al.1997). Lipitor a Statin drug, acts by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase and are used as adjunct therapy to diet to reduce the risk of
Physiology Assignment 1 – Client report. This set of particular tests were carried out at Manchester Metropolitan University in the Interdisciplinary Laboratory. Prior to the tests that were going to be carried out the client in question was asked to carry out a Pre-Test Medical questionnaire to assess the risks involved and to see if the client would be able to participate in the tests. The tests that were performed on the client were height, weight, haemoglobin, cholesterol, FEV1 and FVC. Table
Jessica: “Good morning Mr.Brown, How are you doing today? Mr Brown: I’d be a lot better if I can get out of here and get back to my couch, so I can watch the game today. Jessica: Well Mr. Brown, that’s our goal today. To get you feeling much better. Jessica: Mr. Brown I am now going to tell you your results as well as explain them so you can better understand what you’re up against. And that way, we can all come together and figure out the best plan of action to get your cholesterol under control
Keep the eyes shut. Stay standing and position the palms in the trunk, offering love to the sun with typical relaxing. 120 Hasta Utthanasana(Stage-2) Raises arms above head then twist in reverse and keeping in mind that raising the arms they were made a request to breathe in. 121 Padahastasana (Stage-3) The subjects were made a request to twist forward until the palms touch the floor on both sides. They kept the knees straight and conveyed their temple near the knees. while twisting forward they
multicomponent assemblies of lipids and proteins that form distinct molecules with an approximate stoichiometric value between the lipid and protein components within the complex. Lipoproteins exist with many types each with a specific molecular mass, size, density, physiological role, and chemical composition.(devlin,57) The lipids and their derivatives may be covalently or non-covalently bound to the proteins. Lipoproteins show biodiversity in their forms, many enzymes, antigens, toxins, structural proteins
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 is extremely important, as HDL is responsible for moving the cholesterol from the blood to the liver whereas LDL is the reason for the build up inside the artery therefore increasing the risk of the cardiovascular
decresed 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
growth puts a lot of pressure on IT professionals to deliver efficiently. There is constant pressure of competition, targets, meeting aggressive deadlines, rapid obsolescence of skills, and working long hours. The job stress coupled with poor diet and low physical activity is a perfect cocktail for morbidities in this population. A study exploring the occupational stress, mental health and coping among IT professionals in Hyderabad, India revealed that job stress and not job satisfaction or dissatisfaction
