Adipose tissue

lobules, or in the ducts of that carry milk to the nipple. Cancer that forms in the lobules is lobular carcinoma while cancer that develops in the milk ducts is ductal carcinoma. The lobules and ducts of the breast are spread throughout the adipose and fibrous tissue that make up the majority of the mass of the breast. The cancer can spread if the breast cells move to other parts of the body through lymph or blood vessels. About 12% of women in the United States, or 1 in every 8, will develop…

membranes are composed of phospholipids and glucose is hydrophilic and lipophobic due to the hydroxyl groups (Klein, 2013). Insulin, the major hormone that controls plasma glucose concentrations, increases the permeability of the liver, muscle and adipose or fat cell membranes to glucose (West & Passey, 1967). This allows for an increased rate of glucose transport from the plasma in the blood, across the cell membrane and uptake into these cells (Dimitriadis, Mitrou, Lambadiari, Maratou, &…

Also it is used for malaria and typhus during the World War II to 1972. It accumulates in the adipose tissue; it is half life around ten years. Exposure to a high amount of DDT leads to vomiting, convulsions, and vomiting. It has ant androgenic effects; also, it causes infertility, low birth weight, pancreatic cancer, lung cancer, leukemia, non-Hodigkin's…

infertility(Castrillon 2003). Mice null for FOXO4, on the other hand, show no detectable adverse phenotypes(Hosaka et al 2004) Low levels of all FOXO proteins are expressed in almost all Mammalian tissues. However, each of the FOXO proteins have particular high expression in certain tissues. FOXO1 expression is highest in adipose tissue, uterus and ovaries. FOXO3 is expressed at particularly high levels in the brain, spleen and the heart. FOXO4 expression is high in both the cardiac and…

which decreases blood calcium levels. 10. There are four stages of bone repair after a fracture, they are: 1. The formation of hematoma happens when the wall of a blood vessel wall is damaged and blood went into tissues where it shouldn’t be. 2. Granulation tissue is when fibrous tissue is made by fibroblasts ad infiltrated by capillaries. 3. The callus formation happens when fibrocartilage, soft callus is converted into hard callus of bone in six weeks. 4. Bone remodeling happens when callus is…

proteins (PRO), and carbohydrates (CHO). Fats are essential for living; they serve as body insulators to maintain a stable safe body temperature, absorb vitamins, and most notably, provide energy for demanding activities (storage form found in adipose tissue). PROs have innumerable functions of the body. A few include transport PROs that carry hormones through the blood, serve as antibodies to fight infection, but most importantly for this review—repair damaged muscle cells in order to perform…

major classes of lipoproteins important are: chylomicrons, VLDL, LDL and HDL. Chylomicrons transport the lipids produced from digestion andabsorption; VLDL triacylglycerol transport from the heart; LDL channel cholesterol to the tissues, and HDL carries cholesterol to the tissues and return it to the liver to be excreted in a process known as reverse cholesterol transport (reverse cholesterol transport) (Murray et al. 2003). University of Northern Sumatra Figure 3. cholesterol transport between…

A compromised immune system will not let your body adequately fight of infections in the mouth and body. People with a compromised immune system have a higher risk of having periodontal disease. Being overweight can also increase adipose, or fatty tissue. Adipose tissue can cause lipomas (fatty growths) on the gums, and cheeks. It can also be associated with the inflammatory response to the mucous membranes in the mouth. An inflammatory response can cause unhealthy and painful gums, and an…

The polar giraffe lives in an extreme cold type of environment i.e. tundra. It is among the coldest and the driest biome. It receives less than 10 inches of rain. The temperature in winter is -50°F (-45.5°C). While, the summer temperature is above 50°F (10°C) Biotic Features •Plants have very low growth •Dispersal of seed takes place by the wind •Some animals migrate to places that are warmer •Legumes have a symbiotic bacteria in their roots to fix nitrogen to the soil Abiotic…

Healthy People 2020 is a campaign launched by the Department of Health and Human Services, with a focus to improve the health of the nation. Every ten years, they identify new or existing health issues and find ways of improving them. A few of their missions are to educate the public on the current health issues and how they can prevent them, and to provide the public with specific goals and objectives for each major health issue. Since obesity has been a growing health issue for the past few…
