tissue. The percent lipid was found to be 30% in liver tissue, 70% in muscle tissue, and 90% in adipose tissue in the samples collected. Protein Extraction and Quantification The absorbance vs concentration curve prepared from the Bradford Protein Assay standards was found to have a linear regression of y = 2.2184x + 0.0626 as shown in Figure 1. The absorbances of the liver, muscle, and adipose tissue were used to determine the protein concentrations of the samples. The percent protein was…

Background: Asthma is an international health problem of epidemic proportions that affects around 300 million people worldwide with an estimated 250,000 annual deaths. It is the most common chronic childhood disease, and affects 10% of children in the United States (1). The economic burden of the chronic effects of asthma in the United States is estimated to be over $50 billion per year (2). The hallmark of asthma is hyperresponsiveness of the airway smooth muscle and fluctuating levels of…

Over view of Meter dose Inhaler Regulation in US and EUROPE. Introduction A metered-dose inhaler (MDI) is a device that delivers a specific amount of medication to the lungs, in the form of a short burst of aerosolized medicine that is usually self-administered by the patient via inhalation. It is the most commonly used delivery system for treating asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and other respiratory diseases. Metered-dose inhaler products contain therapeutically active…

If this is unclear, genetic testing may be done. Clinical manifestations are highly variable between people, thus adequate testing must be done for a proper diagnosis. Coeliac serology can involve an assay for IgA and IgG antibodies to TTG, as well as a gliadin IgA antibody assay. Someone with CD will produce higher than normal levels of these antibodies upon ingestion of gluten. A gastroscopy procedure is then done to take a biopsy of the small intestine, in order to look for villous atrophy…

Introduction Ethics can be seen as universally applicable rules to the study of morality. It seeks fairness and justice. Ethic principles acts in a way that any harm involved is minimal. It holds responsibility to honesty and professionalism of behaviour. Ethics ensure the safety of participants which may be human or animals, both of which have guidelines that need to be met. Therefore, it should be seen as ethically correct before any action is made. The major ethical principles are…

Make-up, fragrances, cleaning supplies, medicine, body wash: these are all items that can be bought at almost any store in the United States. Many big companies test these products on animals to identify the quality and effectiveness of it. Animals should not be used as experimentations because they are living being, just like us. Not only is this practice cruel and inhumane, it is not accurate for animals to be tested on when their bodies are so different from human bodies when there are…

Intercropping in Sugarcane Cultivation Influenced the Soil Properties and Enhanced the Diversity of Vital Diazotrophic Bacteria Abstract To investigate the effect of sugarcane intercropping cultivation (peanut and soybean) on the soil properties and diazotrophic bacterial diversity, soil survey was conducted at four different locations of Guangxi, China. Principal component analysis of soil chemical properties showed difference among intercropping and monoculture samples. Next to this, PCA…

corporations, that act as hydrogen ion depletory or donors to preserve the pH level at 7.four. The maximum protein buffers consist of zero.1 M NaH2PO4, pH 6.2 (Activation buffer), PBS, pH 7.four (change Coupling Buffer) and the PBS, 1 percentage BSA, pH 7.4 (Assay Buffer). It consists of 1)Carboxylic acid COOH 2)Amino…

Cysticercosis is characterized as a parasitic infection caused by the larval stage of Taenia solium. The infection of cystistercus in swine is known as porcine cysticercosis; the infection of cystistercus in humans is known as human cysticercosis. The transmission of this zoonosis disease occurs through the ingestion of T. solium eggs that has been passed from tapeworm-infested fecal matter from humans. Humans and pigs, also known as the intermediate hosts for this parasitic species, can develop…

1. Research Question a. What is an Endocrine Disruptors, and how does it affect the normal function of the endocrine system? 2. Overview of Topic by the Book a. The endocrine system is responsible for controlling and organizing bodily functions. Hormones are first produced by the endocrine tissues, such as the testes, ovaries, adrenal, thyroid, pituitary, and pancreas. Once the hormone is produced, it is then secreted into the blood where it regulates the functions of organs in the body,…
