Metabolic

The metabolic pathway of various clostridia (C. acetobutylicum, C. beijerinckii and C. pasteurianum) is very similar (Zheng et al., 2009). The broadly studied clostridium species (C. acetobutylicum) produces three major classes of end products during fermentation such as (a) solvents (acetone, butanol and ethanol); (b) organic acids (acetic acid, butyric acid and lactic acid); (c) gases (carbon dioxide, and hydrogen). The biosynthesis of acetone, butanol, and ethanol share the same metabolic pathway

level of the food chain in order to conserve energy for preying. Furthermore, animals with high metabolic rate such as small rodent use more energy than animals with low metabolic rate, as the theory suggest, they will sleep longer in order to save energy. In summary, evolution theory proposed that sleep is adaptive and animals which are in the higher level of the food chain or with higher metabolic rate need more sleep. When it comes to the cause of sleep, everyone has an internal body clock which

ATYPICAL ANTIPSYCHOTICS A BRIEF OVERVIEW Dr. VIPIN KUMAR, MBBS, DTCD, MD (PSYCHIATRY); CONSULTANT PSYCHIATRIST, AURANGABAD, BIHAR The atypical antipsychotics or second generation antipsychotics (SGA) are a group of antipsychotics that were introduced in the clinical practice during the early 1990. All over world these agents are most commonly prescribed for Schizophrenia and other illnesses with psychotic symptoms. This article will focus on brief overview

this large prospective study, we observed a weak positive association between serum levels of glucose and prostate cancer death, but no associations were observed for triglycerides and total cholesterol. Similar positive associations were seen for glucose and triglycerides with overall, CVD or other deaths. Hypercholesterolemia was positively associated with CVD death. Glucose Consistent with other studies we found positive associations between glucose and prostate cancer death (10,29). Other

Excretion. a) excretion is the removal or metabolic waste from the body. Metabolic waste consists of waste substances that may be toxic or are produced n excess by reactions inside cells. b) Explain the importance of removing metabolic wastes, including carbon dioxide and nitrogenous waste, from the body. The are many substances that need to be excreted - almost any cell product that is formed in excess by the chemical process occurring in the cells must be excreted. However there are two

obesity since adults are eating so much fast food this means their kids are also consuming the same amounting making both adults and childhood obesity increase across the charts. Asghari, Golaleh et al. “Fast Food Intake Increases the Incidence of Metabolic Syndrome in Children and

nurse educator for Nursing Education Consultants and Kate Hunter, RD, LD (2010), a clinical dietitian at Adventist Medical Center reports (2010) that drinking more than one serving of diet soda per day can increase your risk of metabolic syndrome by more than 36%. Metabolic syndrome is a group of risk factors, which includes hypertension, abdominal obesity, hyperglycemia and hypertriglyceridemia. These risk factors increase a person’s risk of developing diabetes, heart disease and stroke. This same

Statement of Purpose I have elected to pursue research in the field of neuroscience because I relish the approach of logical thinking to satisfy the curiosity of knowing things about me and the world around me. Neuroscience is a fascinating area with a limitless possibility of understanding and uncovering to resolve so many unanswered and unimagined questions. Although, in recent years, a large number of breakthroughs research have been done in the area of neuroscience, still, there is a lot more

So if it's an increase in leptin levels that you really want, how do you best achieve it? Eating carbohydrates is the most effective way. Second to that is eating protein (high-protein meals also raise your metabolic rate). Dietary fats aren't very effective at increasing leptin levels, and alcohol actually inhibits it. So, if your weight is stuck and you're irritable and demotivated, a nice kick of leptin might be all you need to get the scales moving again

6 lbs and twice the increase in body fat composition (as shown via DEXA measurement). The average body fat composition of all animals in other groups remained at around 3.4 lb per animal. Although both groups lost the same amount of weight, the metabolic rate (gathered by the CLAMS apparatus) of the ketogenic diet mice was 15% greater than the mice on the calorie restricted diet. Microarray analysis showed suppression of certain genes (e.g. FAS) involved in fatty acid synthesis in animals on the
