You might be surprised that the seeds are originally targeted for equine use, but it has now been recommended for humans use as well. Recently, studies on chia seeds also linked its benefits to helping heal diabetes. Though it was grown in Mexico and Bolivia, a US company who grows chia seeds was established in 2014 to help cater to the demand of research and usage. Here is a list of the top 10 benefits of chia seeds that you need to know: 1. Improves exercise performance. A study with 6…
the central aspects of insulin formulations for injection. The hexamer is far more stable than the monomer, which is desirable for practical reasons; however, the monomer is a much faster-reacting drug because diffusion rate is inversely related to particle size. A fast-reacting drug means insulin injections do not have to precede mealtimes by hours, which in turn gives people with diabetes more flexibility in their daily schedules.[30] Insulin can aggregate and form fibrillar interdigitated…
cardiovascular disease with liposome Delivery of therapeutics to targeted tissues is possible through the design and construction of nanoscale particles while reduced toxicity as well as higher efficiency is obtainable [67,68]. Liposomes have huge skillfulness with regard to physicochemical characteristics, permitting acclimatization of the tiny particle to dovetail to the exact biological application [69]. Building blocks of the bilayer structure, of liposome, are composed of natural lipids…
is often phrased as the light of knowledge (Reusch, 2013). In the past, spectroscopy started by the study of visible light dispersed according to its wavelength by a prism (Anon., n.d.). Now, with the knowledge of light having both wave-like and particle-like characteristics, with given frequency or wavelength of light is associated with radiative energy called photon. Spectroscopy is used in physical and analytical chemistry because atoms and molecules have unique spectra (Anon., n.d.). As a…
complex macronutrients into usable energy by various enzymes. Energy in food is extracted from three macronutrients - carbohydrate, protein and fat. As food passes through the digestive tract, various enzymes and chemicals in the body break food particles into macronutrients and macronutrients. Macronutrients are the energy providers that are further processed into glucose, amino acids and fatty acids. Unlike glucose, fats and amino acids need to be first converted into an intermediate product…
Invisible Yet Deadly In 1938 German Otto Hahn and his assistant Fritz Strassmann discovered that when uranium is bombarded with neutrons, through the process known as fission, there are two lighter elements, neutrons, and a large amount of radiation produced. It was clear that these neutrons could in turn also cause fission, producing more neutrons and developing a chain reaction which might spread throughout all the uranium present (Rinkesh). This fission reaction showed a lot of potential,…
protects and insulate our body. Fat (visceral and subcutaneous) stores energy. • Omega-3 fatty acids have the first double bond on the third carbon counting from the carbon in the methyl end. These are essential fatty acids (our body can’t produce them). Alpha-linolenic is an example of omega-3 fatty acid. • Omega-6 fatty acids have the first double bond on the sixth carbon counting from the carbon in the methyl end. These are essential fatty acids, because our body cannot produce…
Soap and Detergent Soap and Detergent are the cornerstones of human cleanliness. Soap is, “a substance used with water for washing and cleaning, made of a compound of natural oils or fats with sodium hydroxide or another strong alkali, and typically having perfume and coloring added”( Soap 2018 ). Detergent is, “ a water-soluble cleansing agent that combines with impurities and dirt to make them more soluble and differs from soap in not forming a scum with the salts in hard water” ( Detergent…
Becquerel discovered that an ore “Pitchblende”, which contained Radium and Uranium, caused photographic plates to darken. Becquerel and his assistant, Villard, demonstrated that the photographic darkening on the plates was caused by beta radiation, alpha particles, and gamma rays. That same year, in 1896, Pierre and Marie Curie, the first woman to receive the Nobel Prize, coined the term “radioactivity” and were able to isolate the elements Polonium and Radium, later used for medical treatment,…
originated from the historical figures George Bernard Shaw (or possibly Bernard of Clairvaux or possibly Claude Bernard) and Karl Marx. By using his position in society both as an outsider but also as the part of the highest class in The World State, an alpha, the writer leads us to a world of futuristic land full of incredible developments in multiple areas of science such as reproductive technology & sleep-learning and a society divided into castes regarding to their place in economy.…
