This novel route, have several characteristics to distinguish them from the more traditional target specific route available. The difference between normal skin and the lip skin. The labial skin on our lips looks clearly different from the rest of our body [38]. That is because it is much thinner in comparison to normal skin. Skin is divided in three separate layers - the stratum corneum, the epidermis and the dermis [39]. The protective stratum corneum is the outer layer that we can see, the…
Lead Identification (LO): Lead compounds bind to target receptors, and shows potentially therapeutic pharmacological activity, and may contain similar structures and functional groups. Lead compounds are used as a foundation for drug development and may be modified structurally for greater pharmacodynamic efficiency and potency.1 One source of determining lead compounds is by assaying libraries through HTS. Researchers analyze the drug’s ADME properties (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and…
quantity of protein to meet the requirements for growth and lean body mass accretion of very preterm infants.As discussed above, preterm infants will require a protein intake of 3.5-4g/kg/day to meet their nutritional requirements; over the first 12 weeks after delivery, the average protein content of breast milk slowly falls from 2.5g/100mls to less than 1.5g/100mls. (29)Supplementation of breast milk can be with either single component or multi component fortifiers.A Cochrane review of protein…
year 2009 in Northern England, for every 100,000 males, 16 had DMD (0.016%). DMD affects males before the age of 5 due to a gene mutation on the X chromosome, thus causing males to be more at risk. The gene mutation prevents the translation of the protein dystrophin…
gene was identified by Ronald Konopka and Seymour Benzer at CalTech as one of the primary clock genes (1971). Further research revealed a feedback loop comprising of the transcription, translation, and post-translational modifications of the PER protein that serves as the framework for rhythmicity in the biological clock (Hardin et al, 1990, 1992); this feedback loop is often referred to as the TTFL (Transcription Translation Feedback Loop).…
SSRs types and repeat units (Lawson and Zhang, 2006). The origin of SSRs can be equally represented in all region of genome including a coding portion that resulted in the appearance of similar amino acid repeats or tandem oligopeptide repeats in protein sequences (Katti et al., 2005). During the decade several genomes have been sequenced, leading to an increased interest in understanding the molecular mechanism involved in the origin evolution and insertion/deletion of microsatellite (Toth et…
1) With the increase in aquatic depth, Po2 & Pn2 increase. Increasing Po2 in the atrial blood will provide the necessary oxygenation to other vital organs as well as the brain unless the diver depletes his/her oxygen supplies which results in a state of hypoxia (Caton-Richards. M, 2013). It is also said that Po2 along with increasing depth plays a role with inhibiting the urge respirate thus, allowing the diver to stay under water longer. Pn2 on the other hand activates the urge to respirate.…
Introduction The human cell consists of three parts; the plasma membrane, the cytoplasm, and the nucleus. The plasma membrane is the outer boundary of the cell, it separates two major fluid compartments- the intracellular fluid and the extracellular fluid, and plays a key role in cell transport. Cell transport is the movement of materials across a selectively permeable membrane, and this process can occur in two ways; passive transport and active transport. Passive transport allows substances to…
molecules diffuse more rapidly than large molecules. Distribution happens after the drugs entering the systemic circulation and transport to the target tissues/organs. The factors that affect drug distribution are similar as absorption, which include protein binding, blood flow to the area, and lipid or water soluble. Lipid soluble drugs may only distribute or store into fatty tissues while water soluble drugs stay in high vascular areas and do not distribute well into most tissues/organs Many…
Introduction According to Yamamoto and Vernier (2011), dopamine is without a doubt one of the oldest neurotransmitters acting on the central nervous system. The researchers suggest that the emergence of dopaminergic systems most likely predates the divergence of chordates during evolution, and the neurotransmitter’s common ancestry is suggested by commonalities among different species that express the same enzymes, vesicle transporters, degradation enzymes, and receptors. Since dopamine is a…
