Running head: METABOLIC SYNDROME Metabolic Syndrome James Doucette College of Western Idaho Abstract Metabolic syndrome is an emerging diagnosis in the medical field that has effects on patient care. Becoming familiar with it and having it become a common part of patient care will, if used appropriately will increase the lives of those who have become affected with or are at risk of becoming diagnosed with metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is a constellation of risks

Is Withaferin A, a magic bullet for metabolic syndrome? A recent and exciting new study shows that withaferin A, a steroidal lactone isolated from Withania somnifera plant, which is very commonly known as Ashwagandha or Indian ginseng or Indian winter cherry, can exert profound therapeutic beneficial effect on metabolic syndrome (increased body weight, hepatic steatosis, insulin resistance and hypertension) in mice. A recent article which was published in nature medicine by Lee and colleagues1 on

implications present for an individual under metabolic stress. The type of metabolic stress that will be the focus of this report is the metabolic disease of hypertension and cardio-vascular disease. Key areas that will be focused on throughout this report include, the study of an individual’s dietary intake and the body’s reserves of macro and micro nutrients, which will be related to possible health implications for this individual due to metabolic stress. Furthermore this study will then go on

Resting metabolic rate (RMR) is a metabolic process in the body that involves energy which includes anabolic processes and catabolic processes. The rate at which these methods follow is measured in calories per unit in time, and is frequently measured in calories per day. Unlike Basal metabolic rate (BMR), resting metabolic rate does not include twelve hours of fasting. It is accountable for the amount of the energy the body uses in a resting state. In order to get an individual resting metabolic rate

comorbidities can be prevented and modified with the identification of certain risk factors such as low levels of physical activity and decreased energy expenditure that predispose an individual to obesity. The following research addresses resting metabolic rate (RMR), its effects on caloric balance, and the effects of physical activity. This review of

Experiment Results Predict Question: Predict Question 1: Make a prediction about the basal metabolic rate (BMR) of the remaining rats compared with the BMR of the normal rat you just measured. Your answer : b. The hypophysectomized (Hypox) rat's BMR will be higher than the normal rat's BMR. Predict Question 2: What do you think will happen after you inject thyroxine into the three rats? Your answer : c. The hypophysectomized rat will become hyperthryoidic and develop a goiter. Predict Question 3:

EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGY LAB APK4110L - Section # 008 Carissa Insinga 9/22/16 LAB REPORT #2 Resting Metabolic Rate & Progressive Submaximal Exercise Test Mike Haischer Introduction In these experiments we talked about the Resting Metabolic Rate and Progressive Submaximal Exercise Testing to determine a subjects’ carbon dioxide production to oxygen consumption. This was done by having examples provided for us to calculate the RMR by using a formula, (X ml/kg/min x weight in kg) / 1000 mL= # L/min, to

higher metabolic rate than endotherms with large bodies. We tested this by making 6 clay cubes (different sizes) and placed them in ice for 10 minutes and measured them in 2-minute intervals. Our results supported our hypothesis because the larger clay with the smallest SA/V had the slowest cooling rate while the smallest cube with the higher SA/V had the fastest cooling rate. Introduction In this lab, we are going to try to answer the question, Does body size affect endotherms metabolic rates

This study aims at identifying if and how sleep plays a role in regulating body temperature and metabolic-rate in primates. Further, a hibernating primate, the lemuriform Cheirogaleus medius(Fat-tailed dwarf lemur) in specific, will be examined because hibernation has a direct correlation with hypothermia and reduced metabolic-rate. This primate was used because it is known to experience lengthy periods of hibernation and lives in a temperate climate of Madagascar. It is hypothesized that hibernation
