Amylase

HR and RSA were measured every five minutes between the introduction of the subjects to the TSST and approximately thirty minutes after completion of the TSST [11]. In addition to monitoring HR and RSA, measurements of cortisol and salivary alpha-amylase (sAA) in each subject were also recorded. This information was gathered through collection…

Introduction Identifying microbes are important for working in the medical fields and also for research. Physical and cellular processes are ways in which microbes can be identified. A series of test were done to identify an unknown microbe labeled 5. Based on observation and the results conclusion was made to identify the bacteria as Enterobacter aerogenes. In microbiology, researchers are frequently trying to culture and classify microorganisms in a laboratory setting for study. Because of…

 Experiment Procedure This experiment was conducted between 12PM and 5PM to reduce the effects of circadian rhythm on the participants, so the participants would be fully awake and cognitively aware at the time of the experiment. The subjects were instructed to arrive at the lab 1 hour prior to the beginning of the TSST. Upon arrival, they were taken to a waiting room where the head experimenter informed them about the process of the study. After verbal and written consent was received from all…

recognized as Bacillus flavothermusbased on the proteins it was found to express by a biochemical analysis: acetate kinase, pyruvate kinase, myokinase, alanine dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, isocitric dehydrogenase, xylanase, and α-amylase [6-8]. The strain develops yellow-pigmented colonies and can grow from 30 to 70 °C; thus, it is categorized as a moderate thermophile [5]. Later studies confirmed these characteristic features of this thermophilein newly isolated strains…

a certain medication called pancreatin we tested its effects on how it was able to break down these macromolecules. pancreatin is a mixture of pancreatic enzymes that help to aid in digestion; the enzymes that are present in this mixture include amylase (breaks down carbohydrates), lipase(breaks down lipids), and protease (breaks down proteins). We had set up trials for these enzymes to break down their respective macromolecules by adding varying amounts of pancreatin solution to 10mL of…

and sometimes more than once a day. Fresh root, dried roots, pasty products, granulated products and cassava leaves are the five common groups of cassava products in Africa. Cassava is an important raw material for the non-food industries. The low amylase, high amylopectin content of cassava starch give it the necessary viscosity for high quality adhesives and for use in the paper and textile industries. The starch is also used for the production of dextrins which are utilized in glues. Ethyl…

Carbohydrates are biological molecules made up of organic substances such as Oxygen, Hydrogen and Carbon (Rapidlearningcenter.com 2015). They normally have a two to one hydrogen to oxygen ratio and can be classified by the empirical formula Cm (H20)n where m and n could be possibly different. Some biologists refer to carbohydrates as hydrates of carbon and they are technically correct. Alternately, there is no possible empirical formula that can describe lipids. Lipid must be identified…

Aims and Objectives: To detect and compare salivary glucose with plasma glucose level and PPBS(Postprandial ) and FBS (Fasting blood sugar) in diabetic and non-diabetic subjects. Material and Method: A total of 100 patients were participated in the study. They were divided into 2 groups, each group consist of 50 patients. Unstimulated saliva and blood were collected and investigated for glucose levels. Results and conclusion: FBS, PPBS, Plasma glucose levels and salivary glucose levels were…

The process of carbohydrate absorption after consuming food happens in a variety of pathways within the body. The first step to absorption is the process of digestion. This process begins in the mouth. Here, the enzyme a-amylase breaks down the food through the saliva. The process then moves to the small intestine where the digestion products are then absorbed through the intestinal wall into the blood stream and then moved across to other body cells. This then forms glucose and the disaccharide…

INTRODUCTION The Jehovah’s Witness religion is a Christian movement with 6.3 million followers worldwide with 0.002% in India. This community does not accept blood or blood products based on their biblical teachings. This belief when compounded with a trauma scenario in India where there is alack of awareness of this community leads to creation of obstacles in their treatment plan along with legal, medical and ethical challenges for the health care provider1. ABSTRACT The awareness of the…
