Zinc is a trace mineral that is necessary for growth, healing, and overall health. It helps more than 100 enzyme systems. It is used in metabolic reactions in cells. Zinc aids in immune system function, the growth of bone, teeth, and connective tissue, and gene regulation. Meat, fish, and poultry contain the best-absorbed form of zinc. However, fortified cereals and legumes also contain zinc. Zinc can also be consumed by taking a supplement. A deficiency in zinc can cause growth…

ABSTRACT: Enzymes are catalysts, speeding up of chemical reactions, of biological systems by lowering the activation energy (Transitioned from the AP Biology Lab Manual). In addition, in order to determine the rate of an enzymatic reaction, one must measure a change in the amount of at least one specific substrate or product over time. We were curious about determining the effects of pH and heat on enzymatic activity because these are factors that usually affect the shape of an enzyme. We…

PURPOSE We used chemical indicators to identify possible sugar, starch, protein, and lipids present within two common food items as well as the dead Anna Garcia’s stomach contents. HYPOTHESIS If Anna ate foods like pizza, ice cream, and Oreo cookies like she said on her food log, then her stomach contents should react with the chemical indicators for glucose, maybe starch due to the pizza. INTRODUCTION The experiment considers the types of macromolecules within each piece of food. Each type…

blood-brain barrier, and damage the brains. Moreover, some theories wonder about the effect of the accumulation of aspartic acid in blood. Because aspartic acid, a component of aspartame, is a neutron-transmitter, it facilitates for the influx of calcium from extracellular (at synaptic gap) into the neuron. As a result, neurons are…

Touch football is a physically demanding sport requiring the extensive use of many systems of the body. It is important for an athlete to properly train and develop these energy systems to perform to their highest potential. I have constructed a training program in order to develop upon my two weakest areas, muscular power and the combination of speed and agility. The average to poor results I received during fitness testing reflected my performance in the vertical jump test, 40m sprint, and the…

Importance of Monosodium Glutamate Monosodium glutamate is a standout amongst the most essential salt having much significance in the nature in living and additionally non-living things • MSG in human body • MSG in sustenances • Meat, Poultry and Fish • Beverages • Pickled vegetables • Salads and dressings • Dairy • Baked Goods • Savory Flavors MSG in human body Glutamate - Protein Building Block and Excitatory Neurotransmitter. Glutamate is one and only of various amino acids used…

This is not happen in our study due to using selenium and vitamin E. This because selenium and vitamin E inhibit protein kinase and AKT, which leads to decrease the expression of NF-ĸB and VEGF, So they can decrease gemcitabine resistance and increase its apoptotic effect and also, inhibit metastasis post-RFA (Li et al., 1998; Curley et al., 1999; Gopalakrishna & Gundimeda, 2002; Vivanco & Sawyers, 2002; Yang et al., 2005; Meng et al., 2007) . HCC patients treated with RFA plus selenium and…

Phaseolus vulgaris L. (Leguminosae/Fabaceae) is commonly known as kidney bean. It is named so because of its resemblance in shape and colour to human kidney [1]. It is an edible item consumed by large number of people in Asian and Eastern countries. It is a sub-erect or twining annual herb. It was the first cultivated crop by the early humans. It is considered to have originated from Peru. Then it spread to Central and South America by Indian traders who brought it from Peru. But it is now grown…

cocaine when it is sniffed. This can be considered as one example of this type. Smokeless tobacco could be another example. There are 2 major spheres that need to be taken into consideration while designing a drug: 1. Drug target 2.Drug metabolism DRUG PROCESSING There are four stages in the physiological handling of a drug:  Absorption: Drug absorption is the process by which drugs move into the blood stream after administration. Absorption affects the bioavailability of…

INTRODUCTION Fatty acid is a carboxylic acid with a long aliphatic chain, which is either saturated or unsaturated. Most of the naturally occurring fatty acids contain unbranched chain of an even number of carbon atoms, from 4 to 28. We usually derived fatty acids from triglycerides or phospholipids. Fatty acids are very important sources of fuel because, when they metabolized, they yield large amount of ATP .Fatty acids are regulated by certain transcription factors which control the action of…
