Fatty acids

cells. Cells have organelles such as mitochondria, lysosomes, vesicles, etc. It is estimated that the body has over ten trillions cells Carry oxygen, build tissue, copy DNA for the next generation and do the work needed by the body. Deoxyribonucleic acid contains the blueprint for proteins and replication of itself mRNA transcribes DNA, tRNA translates mRNA into proteins. A pattern on nucleotide on a DNA strand is called a gene. The Central Dogma of molecular biology is: DNA codes for RNA which…

glucose is the body’s main source of energy for healing and for cell repair and for proper brain function. Some fat is also essential in every diet. Typically, the recommend amount of total fat is 30%. Unsaturated fat such as omega -3 fatty or omega – 6 fatty acids is encouraged instead of saturated fat. We do, however, need to monitor blood glucose levels since elevated blood glucose make wound healing more difficult. When glucose levels remain high over time, wounds may…

related to diets rich in purines including proteins, fats, and sugary foods like soft drinks (Tophaceous gout in finger pads). Under-excretion of uric acid by the kidneys accounts for up to 90% of gout cases (Tophi as first mani). Heavy alcohol intake and medications including diuretics, aspirin, and nicotinic acid may decrease excretion of uric acid and contribute to an acute attack (Tophaceous gout in the finger pads). Gout is also associated with hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia, diabetes…

different strengths of the contents, research shows that there is not enough data or evidence to recommend a certain multivitamin to the average non-pregnant female (Sfakianaki, 2013). However, high evidence was found with recommendations for folic acid intake while pregnant in the Cochrane review of randomized and quasirandomized clinical trials (Sfakianaki, 2013). The gap in research is the general population’s vitamin recommendations because for most vitamins the results are shown as biased…

electrolytes in their cell structures. In humans this balance is regulated by hormones. Disruption of this balance leads to health problems. Electrolytes are useful for electrical batteries and fuel cells. Electrolytes commonly exist as solutions of acids, bases, or salts. Some gases act as electrolytes under conditions of high temperature of low pressure. Solutions are formed when a salt is placed into a solvent such as water. An electrolyte solution may be described as concentrated if it has a…

oxygen (Clark, 2004). The single bond oxygen is bonded to another carbon. Esters can be produced through various synthetic routes. Since, esters are produced from mixing carboxylic acids and alcohols, they can synthesized artificially in labs. One possible way to synthesized esters is to react an alcohol and a carboxylic acid. The purpose of this lab was to observe the synthesis of esters and identify the odor of each ester synthesized. The procedure to…

as an herb, it’s actually a bacteria, or more specifically, a blue-green algae found in rivers, ponds and pristine fresh water lakes. It is commonly referred to as a superfood because it contains 60% protein by weight and all of the essential amino acids needed by every organ in the body. Athletes often turn to spirulina to support their body. In one study, spirulina was found to enhance endurance and significantly increased the amount of time it took for participants to become fatigued.…

The Difference between Detergent and Soap The reason for this case study is to dissect the Difference between detergent and soap. In this case study, I will define the meaning of the cleaning agents, I will give you an introductory, I will discover how they are made, I will discover how they work, and why one cleaning agents is better than the other. This case study will be designed using the descriptive scientific method. The meanings of Detergent and Soap A detergent is a substance that cleans…

Vitamins is a nutrient in which can be seen in two ways; fat – soluble and water – soluble. The vitamins within the liver and the fatty tissues would be stored away for any future uses. As for water soluble this would excreted into the urine. Fat soluble and water soluble include; A, D, E, B, C and K. Vitamin A is a retinol and allows the immune system to work effectively. This includes; liver, cheese, fruit and fish. Vitamin D is able to absorb the calcium into the intestine and regulate the…

A lot of studies use sesame oil, which is a traditionally reliable option for oil pulling. But we use coconut oil because it’s nature’s finest source of lauric acid, a medium-chain fatty acid with powerful antibacterial properties. In fact, nearly half of all quality coconut oil is made up of lauric acid. This therapeutic amount of “acid” will never burn you or irritate you, though; rather, it works harder than other oils at busting up colonies of bacteria that appear as stains on your…
