Problem Polymeric nanoparticle to treat Breast Cancer: Abraxane, Albumin-based nanoparticle loaded with Paclitaxel. Introduction Cancer in general is when abnormal cells start growing out of control. These abnormal cells have gone through a mutation in the genome and have lost their ability of growth checkpoint. This means the cells had changes in their DNA and instead of repairing the damage or dying, it continues to divide thus leading to cancer because of faulty cells. The damage to…

Chemical Aspects of Digestion Lab Report By Abdulelah Almutairi Animal Form and Function Lab, 03, 12:30 PM Instructor: Melanie Gustafso-Ropski – Lab Assistant: Corinna Monday March 9,2015 1. Part A • The enzyme used in this experiment is pancreatic lipase. The substrate for pancreatic lipase is lipids or triglycerides. Hydrolysis of triglycerides occurs in the duodenum and the PH rages are from 7.1 to 8.2. • Phenol red was used as a PH indicator of the samples.…

1. What is alula? - Alula is a set of feathers on the first digit of birds which permits a slot on the wing. 2. What is crop milk? – Crop milk is a secretion from the lining of crop of parent…

which is a carry for oxygen and remover off carbon dioxide and white cells which is the bodies defence from infection. The plasma makes up about 55% of the overall volume of blood and is mainly made up of water which contains important proteins like albumin which maintains fluid balance (Nall, 2013) and globulin which serves as antibodies and helps with transport (Clinn,…

The purpose of this study was to test whether carvedilol improves hepatic function and to determine the changes in carvedilol pharmacokinetics in the setting of liver fibrosis. Various tests were completed in rats to measure hepatic blood flow, as well as synthetic and metabolic capacity. Three of the four main components of PK were described in the introduction of the paper. Oral absorption of carvedilol is both rapid and complete. Extensive metabolism occurs in the liver. Elimination of the…

reduction in blood flow to the kidney. This then leads to retention of sodium and water, which then leads to the increase in blood volume. Happens when there is a decrease in osmotic plasma pressure which is set by albumin produced by the liver. This is mainly caused by Kidney disease where albumin is excreted, meaning there is a reduction of flow through the kidney. Another disease that affects Osmotic pressure or oncotic pressure is Liver disease, Increase in portal hypertension causes an…

Rabia Iqbal Biol 395-1005 lab 01/31/2015 Broadford assay Absorbance Figure 1. The concentration and absorbance of Bradford assay. Four samples containing Bovine serum albumin, diluent, and Bradford. At 0.25 mg/ml concentration the absorbance was 0.109 nm and the relation between absorbance and the concentration held constant throughout except at the 0.50 mg/ml when the concentration absorbance was 0.186 nm. Figure showed that as the concentration is increased the absorbance elevates also. All…

levels for everything besides carbon dioxide, amylase, low density lipoproteins, and creatinine kinase. All the differences except lipase were higher in the SUPP group, but lipase levels were higher in the UNSUPP group. The total protein, albumin: globulin ratio, albumin, alpha-2 globulins and beta globulins levels were significantly higher in the SUPP group. Five of the SUPP group had prealbumin bands as well as two from the UNSUPP group. In the vitamin panels the SUPP group was found to have…

OBJECTIVES - To understand protein intake better. - To understand how consuming too much or too little of certain food specifically protein can be unhealthy and do harm to our body over time. - To determine what foods are providing the right type of proteins INTRODUCTION The human body has thousands of different proteins all of which are necessary for staying alive and healthy. Protein is a very important substance that is needed by humans for protein is not just a structural material…

Dietitian of Canada (2014) defined dietitians as highly qualified professionals educated in science, management, human development, and health of populations. The roles of dietitian are the “assessment of nutrition and nutritional conditions and the treatment and prevention of nutrition related disorders by nutritional means.” (College of Dietitian of Ontario, (CDO), 2014) “Dietetic Practice includes activities for which members use food & nutrition-specific knowledge, skills and judgment…
