Lipoprotein

In this essay I will inform you about Performance Enhancing Drugs(PEDS) in sports, such as, Anabolic steroids, Human Growth Hormone(HGH), and Creatine. I will tell you about what it does to you like risks and how it is a PED. Steroids are the most common type of PEDS especially Anabolic Steroids, which are synthetic testosterone, which increases muscle mass. The risks for males are: prominent breasts, baldness, shrunken testicles, infertility, impotence, and prostate gland enlargement. Woman…

cholesterol flowing through our blood because it cannot be broken down. So where does it go? This is where LDL’s and HDL’s take place. They are what we call lipoproteins and they are carried all throughout the body (MacGill, 2017). LDL’s are called low-density lipoproteins and is known for being the bad cholesterol and HDL’s are high-density lipoproteins know for being the good cholesterol (MacGill, 2017). The normal range for LDL’s is anything below 70 mg/dL (The Mayo Clinic Staff, 2016). And…

Vaping is allegedly safer to smoking cigarettes but it still contains a high amount of nicotine. Nicotine affects lipid metabolism. Nicotine lowers concentrations of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, which provide protection against development of atherosclerosis. Increased low-density lipoprotein (LDL) leading to accumulation of lipids in arteries. Atherosclerosis is a specific form of arteriosclerosis; is the concentration of lipids…

that take them up too.2 Viruses hijack these lipoproteins and use them to get into the liver cells, where they replicate, which opens up a gateway to the rest of the body. They replicate within the endoplasmic reticulum and then use the lipid droplets as scaffolds. After budding off they’re still inside the liver cell where they either accumulate and burst the cell to be released or attach to a VLDL and get transported out. In addition to using lipoproteins, viral pathogens interact with the…

WHAT IS NMR SPECTROCOPY? By definition, NMR spectroscopy is a research technique that makes use of the fact that certain atomic nuclei exhibit magnetic property to determine their chemical and physical properties for various uses that we’ll discuss later. History of NMR Spectroscopy Year Individual Discovery 1921 Stern and Gerlach Basis of quantum theory is confirmed by carrying out atomic and molecular beam experiments 1925 Ulhenbeck & Goudsmith Discovered the concept of spinning…

regular physical activity. I need to put more effort into exercising. "Regular exercise can help prevent heart disease and stroke by strengthening you muscle, lowering your blood pressure, raising your high -density lipoprotein(HDL) levels (good cholesterol) an lowering low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels (bad cholesterol), improving blood flow, and increasing your heart's work capacity."(Davis 2017) I need to take at least thirty minutes to an hour to exercise a day. I have always…

and Rall, 2000). The most common isoform is ApoE3, which is considered the normal isoform for the known physiology of APOE. APOE plays a role in transporting and metabolizing plasma cholesterol and triglycerides by interacting with low density lipoproteins and their respective receptors. (Han et al., 2003). In the central nervous system ApoE that is mainly synthesized in astrocytes, aids in the transportation and redistribution of lipids and cholesterol. ApoE is particularly crucial to the…

Notice: Not a lot of brain cells were damaged in the production of this paper. When this paper first began, I found my opinion about the liver was not the best. I believed that the liver is valuable but only produces waste, which is no fun. However, as I began to research the liver and how it plays a huge part in my daily life it changed my perspective. Most things that humans ingest go through the liver at one point or another. The Liver has the ability to turn ineffective or pointless…

from his neck down to his lower back, for about 40 years Mr. Bear has been prescribed doxycycline monohydrate as well as triamcinolone acetonide for his eczema and skin rash on both of his upper arms, and rosacea on his cheeks. The liver makes lipoproteins to distribute cholesterol in the body as well as to bring…

heart disease. In MacGill’s article “Cholesterol: Causes, Symptoms and Treatments”, Cholesterol is found in every cell of the body and it’s an oil-based substance, so it doesn’t mix with blood. The cholesterol is carried by two types of lipoprotein: Low-density lipoprotein (LDL)…
