30 µl measurements of 0.4, 0.8, 1.2, 1.6 and 20 mg/ml were added into their own sample of the 3 ml Bradford Assay, 30 µl of water was added to a separate sample of Bradford Assay and 30 µl of the dilute liver homogenate was added to its own sample of Bradford Assay and left for 3 minutes. The absorbance of the standards and the diluted homogenate samples were recorded to create a standard curve. From this equation, the protein concentration of my sample was determined. Class averages were also…

One of the most prominent examples of greed in modern day United States is the issue of organ donation. Mahatma Gandhi once said,”There is a sufficiency in the world for man’s need but not for man’s greed.” Organ donation…

can contribute to drug detoxification within the liver and bone health. Iron toxicity is a result of a genetic disease called hereditary hemochromatosis. Hemochromatosis is a result of increase of iron absorption. People with this disease, iron found in their body eventually builds up to deadly amounts (mainly in the blood and liver).

This commercial has been etched in my memory since childhood. The issue of legalizing drugs has been debated even longer. Gore Vidal wrote his article “Drugs: Case for Legalizing Marijuana” in The New York Times in 1970, a full 17 years before the aforementioned commercial hit the television airwaves. Vidal’s piece was ahead of its time, but still…
