Albumin

There are usually four different types of casein proteins in milk: alpha-s1 casein, alpha-s2 casein, beta casein, and kappa casein. There are also four different types of whey proteins: beta-lactoglubulin, beta-lactalbumin, immunoglobulin, and serum albumin. The alpha-s series in casein is non-homogenous, meaning that it is not all the same. It is divided into two groups: alpha-s1 and alpha-s2. 30.6% of all protein is alpha-s1 casein. The experiment was to observe if the difference in the amount…

proteins which are essential for cell structure, transportation of substances between cells and for their enzyme behavior/role cannot be vitalized. Less amino acids form proteins are absorbed in the intestine when alcohol is present in the body. Also, albumin, a blood protein, will decrease production along with other blood clotting factors (3). Vitamins, which are essential for metabolism, become present in small amounts in an alcoholics body and can lead to serious illnesses, such as liver…

This therapy is based on the fact that each cell in the organism is specialized and possess only some functions of its own. Examples liver cells can only eliminate certain toxic substances (foodborne like alcohol or produced by the body) or make albumin but cannot make…

As a result, the liver cannot make a sufficient amount of protein or filter toxins out of the blood. As the liver function decrease, fewer proteins such as albumin are produced causing fluid buildup (edema or ascites). Some symptoms include: jaundice, portal hypertension, fatigue, and skin itching (pruritus). According to Fullwood D. (2014) a liver biopsy is used to confirm the stage of ARLD and is required…

Case Report: This is a 56-year-old white female with a history of cirrhosis secondary to alcoholism and NASH, history of portal hypertension and ascites, and hepatic encephalopathy, who was brought to the ED by her mother and daughter due to concerns about confusion. The patient is confused and unable to answer questions; therefore this information has been obtained by family members. According to the family members, the patient has been confused for 2-3 days and has had a few episodes of emesis…

under filling of the arteries which will then activate the renin angiotensin pathway, this pathway will in turn stimulate the sympathetic nervous system. All of this will lead to the retention of sodium and water, and together with low levels of albumin levels and increased portal hydrostatic pressure will lead to ascites. The symptoms of ascites include edema of the lower limbs, increased abdominal girth, and impairments in…

According to Edmunds (2014) pharmacokinetics is when the action of a medication in the body is study, which includes the process of absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination (Edmunds, 2014). The patient that currently being cared for is a 73 year old female with past medical history of atrial fibrillation, kidney dysfunction and diabetes mellitus. Currently the patient takes the following medications: Pravastatin 10 mg, Lisinopril 2.5 mg, Digoxin 0.125 mg, Warfarin 7.5 mg, HCTZ 25 mg,…

protein, that does not pass through the semipermeable membrane of the cell and does not readily dissolve; colloids stay within the intravascular space and draw fluid into the extravascular space with high oncotic pressure (Crawford & Harris, 2011). Albumin is an example of a colloid (Trakalo, 2015). Crystalloids readily dissolve into solutions and include 0.9% NaCl and Lactated Ringers (Trakalo, 2015). Crystalloids easily pass through the semipermeable membrane of the cell and increase…

4.2.3.5. Antioxidant assays in gastric tissue homogenate 4.2.3.5.1. Catalase activity Catalase activity in the gastric tissue was measured according to the procedures of Sinha (1972). One ml of homogenate solution was taken and mixed with 5 ml of phosphate buffer of pH 7.4. To this 4 ml of 0.2 M H2O2 was added and time noted. Exactly after 180 seconds of adding H2O2, a set of 1ml of reaction mixture from the above was taken and 2 ml dichromate acetic acid was added. It was then kept in a boiling…

Determining phylogenetic relationships of marine invertebrate and vertebrate using variation in muscle proteins of different genera; Ostreidae , Teuthida, Pectinidae, Nephropidae, Caridea, Brachyura and Oncorhynchus. Introduction The fundamental core of all biology emanates from evolution, as the great evolutionary biologist Theodosius Dobzhansky once said "Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution"(1973). Therefore, studying the phylogenetic relationships of different…
