Glucose tolerance test

To understand KBs diagnoses of pancreatitis it is first important to understand the function of the pancreas. The pancreas works as both an exocrine and endocrine gland. The endocrine portion of the pancreas includes the production of Insulin from beta cells, and glucagon from alpha cells which are released into the bloodstream to help regulate blood sugars.1 The pancreas works as an exocrine organ by secreting digestive enzymes that are released into the duodenum through the common bile duct…

organic compound. Though many people believe carbohydrates are bad for the body and strive to live on low-carb diets, carbohydrates are essential for the body to live. 45 percent of our daily calories are meant to come from carbs. Monosaccharides Glucose, galactose and fructose are all monosaccharides, the building blocks…

More than ever before in the past, are people taking the time and money to invest in healthier living. However, swimming through the pool of information available, from television, adds in shopping marts, and social media, it can be hard to tell the difference between what are the true-facts and what are just fads or trends. Thankfully, much research has gone into studying the human body, and a large portion of that into understanding what our bodies need to continue functioning properly. From…

attained. But like endurance running sprinting also has its pros and cons. A pro is that it requires no oxygen. A con would be that lactic acid (2C3H6O3) sits in your muscles and is the reason for the “burn” that you experience. Without oxygen the glucose can only partially break down. Sprinting uses the immediate energy system, there is 4-5 times more PCr (phosphocreatine) in skeletal muscle than ATP. It resynthesizes ATP anaerobically through PCr hydrolysis as soon as the muscles contract.…

Now onto the fresh information, the Dehydration Synthesis process and the Macromolecules. I’ll start with the Macromolecules. These molecules are the four molecules all living things need to survive. The four molecules are Proteins, DNA, Carbohydrates, and Lipids. Each of these molecules is made of Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen at the very least. Proteins have Nitrogen as an added element, and DNA has Phosphate and Nitrogen. The base structure of each molecule has a carbon skeleton. This means…

Biochemical tests are used to detect the presence of different kinds of organic molecules, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins. These tests include the Benedict’s Test, Iodine Test, Sudan III Stain Test, Biuret Test and many others. With these tests, the nutrients from an unknown solutions can be identified in the solution. The Benedict’s test is used for identifying reducing sugars, which are simple sugars that include monosaccharides and some disaccharides. The Benedict’s…

We can further research in our project by conducting multiple trials with the macromolecules and test the pH levels throughout the course of the experiment. Materials and Methods The experimental design for our project was to simulate the digestion of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. We had set up trials for the pancreatic enzymes to break…

 COMPOSITION OF MILK Milk is nearly complete natural food on the earth. It contains water, fat, protein, lactose and minerals as major constituents. The proportions of these constituents vary with species of the animal. For example, Mare’s milk contains only about 1.6% fat, while Reindeer’s milk contain 22.5% fat. Apart from this, the composition also varies with several other factors, viz., the breed of animal, the feeding pattern, season, lactation period, age of animal, environment, etc..…

Protein Casein DCP & CE Hypothesis: Casein is made up of many individual amino acids. Each of them may have positively charge or negative charge depending on the pH of the milk. At certain pH value, positively charges and negatively charges of the casein will equal, so that the number of electrons equals to the number of protons. [1] Approximately pH 4.6 is the pH value that acid casein is precipitated and least soluble. In milk, which has a pH of about 6.6, the casein has a net negative…

grain. Fats: store energy, aid in development of cells, serve as components of hormones and vitamins, and protect organs. There are saturated and unsaturated fats. Examples are oil, wax, and butter. Question 2: Janine is correct, Brains cells use glucose to fuel cellular activities, the…
