Introduction Metabolic syndrome is a prevalent illness that is negatively impacting the health of individuals around the world. This prevalence is due to a rise in the rates of adult obesity, and is resulting in excess mortality due to an elevated risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes.1,3 It is defined as a cluster of conditions that occur together, which increases the individual’s risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes.2 Metabolic risk factors responsible for this syndrome

Cardiovascular and metabolic diseases are a growing problem around the world today. Not only do diseases such as diabetes and heart disease affect individuals and their lifestyles, they also affect the economy, politics, education and the professional work environment. 20-26% of individuals in the United States live with heart disease, and obesity and high blood pressure compose the greatest factors for developing this disease [20]. Studies have shown a direct correlation between the amount of

However, there are semi-effective ways to counter the aging process of one’s metabolism. Some of the most effective ways a person can increase their energy rate, therefore increase their metabolic rate is through physical exercise. Exercise develops one's muscle mass and body fat, resulting in an increase in BMR and metabolic rate. Performing aerobic workouts, sometimes known as cardio-exercise requires pumping of oxygenated blood by the heart to deliver oxygen to working muscles. Aerobic exercise stimulates

Gout is a metabolic disorder and is the most common form of inflammatory arthritis which causes acute and painful flares in the joints of the foot, knee, hand and wrist with the deposition of urate crystals. Hyperuricemia is an important risk factor the development of gout which is characterised by high levels of uric acid in blood. Uric acid is the end product of purine nucleotide formed by the oxidation of xanthine and hypoxanthine by the enzyme xanthine oxidoreductase.Impaired xanthine oxidase

poison called Bacillus Thuringitesis (BT) toxin in every cell and every bite of it. Although the biotech seed companies like Monsanto claim that their genetically modified organisms (GM) are harmless, that 's not what the independent scientists are finding” in their researches (Smith, 2015, n.p). The gastrointestinal (GI) symptomatology affecting autistic kids appear to resemble the same problems in animals fed with GMO food. In both, the inflammation in the GI tract increased permeability,

Meeting the physiological demands of life through metabolic homeostasis requires a strict regulation of fatty acid metabolism; in particular, the control of the metabolism of long-chain fatty acyl-CoAs. The activating and trapping of fatty acids within cells is dependent on the conversion of fatty acids to acyl-CoA by long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase (ACSL) isoenzymes (Ellis et al., 2011). According to recent studies, there has been a theory that acyl-CoAs do not wander freely within cells, but are

Metabolic syndrome (MS) is the cluster of serious diseases, including diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. It is spreading exponentially and the total cost of MS management is increasing. The continuous monitoring of MS components is very important to improve MS management and diagnosis in patients. In routine clinical practices, serum blood is used to quantify the MS markers. The blood sampling is painful and it is a hinder to use it for continuous and real-time monitoring of glucose. Hence we

The Great Metabolic Race Metabolism comprises of a vital set of biochemical reactions that all living organisms require to sustain life. For a marathon runner, their physiological response to strenuous exercise depletes both their fats and carbohydrate storage in order to supply energy in the form of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). ATP is the energy form that the human body uses for biological processes such as movement and synthesis of biomacromolecules. In regards to running a marathon, the athlete

To achieve metabolic syndrome you need to have three of the five conditions. These conditions include high waist circumference, blood triglyceride levels, low blood HDL cholesterol, high blood pressure and fasting blood glucose. Again, it’s important to know that you do not need all five of these to have metabolic syndrome, just three. There was a group of people who took a 2 minute breaks to do light to moderate

Diabetes mellitus, commonly known as diabetes, is a metabolic disorder characterized by chronic high blood sugar levels. It is caused by an absolute or functional deficiency of circulating insulin, resulting in an inability to transfer glucose from the bloodstream into tissues where it is needed as fuel (Ahmed, Laing and Yates 2011). The disruption in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins interferes with the secretion or action of insulin, which plays a vital role in the metabolism and
