Abstract: Catalase is an iron porphyrin enzyme present in high concentrations in humans and animals liver tissues. It is a peroxisomal enzyme that is responsible for destruction of toxic H2O2 released during certain metabolic processes.The activity of catalase can be determined by measuring the decrease in H2O2 concentration which is the substrate. Introduction: An enzyme is a large protein that acts as a biological catalyst which changes the rate of a reaction. It provides an active site…

The human body is made up of chemicals and it interacts with a variety of chemicals made by man as well as nature. The body has a capacity to metabolise all chemicals, and beyond that they will cause toxicity. Toxicity in the body can be of any reason. Since the curry leaf contain variety of chemicals these is possibly of toxicity by consuming for a long period. The liver is a vital organ of metabolism. Liver plays a major role in detoxification and is generally the major site for intense…

Alcohol-related liver disease or ARLD is a common health issue in the United States that can lead to further complications or premature death. The contraction of this disease is influenced or caused by genetics, the environment, or even social acceptability of alcohol use. Nutrition plays a vast role in the factors of ARLD because the liver is the focal site for alcohol metabolism. This can cause complications in the metabolism of other essential nutrients in the liver. A lot of alcoholics…

On January 8th, 2016, the Thai beauty company, Seoul Secret, released an online video advertisement for Snowz skin lightener pills with the tagline, “whiteness makes you win” (Holmes, 2016). However, the advert was withdrawn hours after its release due to public outrage and accusations of racism (2016). While the camera zooms out, the Thai women’s white complexion darkens and her smile turns bleak. “Before I got to this point, the competition was very high. If I stop taking care of myself,…

The immune system is the primary and essential protective mechanism against different organisms. Aflatoxin B1, a secondary metabolite of fungi, impairs the immune system. However, the mechanisms responsible for the immunomodulating effects of aflatoxin B1 have not been clearly determined. Numerous studies reported that aflatoxin B1 exerts its toxicity on the immune system by different mechanisms. Inhibition of the aforementioned synthesis might directly or indirectly cause prevention of…

HALDANE RELATIONSHIP AND ONE-WAY ENZYMES  INTRODUCTION: Most of the enzyme catalyzed biological reactions are reversible in nature. However, an enzyme may prefer to catalyze the reaction more efficiently in one direction over the other under given physiological concentrations of substrate or product (substrate in the reverse direction). An enzyme favouring a virtual unidirectional catalysis of an overall reversible reaction can’t escape the laws of thermodynamics. As a catalyst doesn’t change…

At the point when Trembley first watched Hydra viridis, he believed that they were plants and not animals on account of their appearance, green colour and immobility. Trembley at that point watched that the body withdrawals and relaxations and the movement of the body happens when the encompassing water was bothered. Their shape and colour still established a connection on Trembley, and he started to view them as extremely delicate plants. This influenced Trembley to cut the polyps and watched…

1. Introduction Lernaea infection is a major disease problem encountered in carp culture in the Indian subcontinent and has been reported from Indian major carps Catla (Catla catla), Rohu (Labeo rohita), Mrigal (Cirrhinus mrigala) , exotic carps silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) and indigenous carps Labeo fimbriatus (Nandeesha et al., 1984, 1985; Tamuli and Shanbhouge, 1996; Zafar et al., 2001). The three Indian Major Carps viz., Catla, Rohu and…

processes of metabolism are negatively affected by low levels of sulfur content in the body. Functioning of the heart incorporates a lot of connective tissues and metabolism provides the heart with the necessary energy to facilitate pumping of blood. Glutathione is a metabolic intermediary that can only be synthesized effectively by sulfur minerals. An insulin molecule also requires sulfur bridges to connect the two amino acid chains inside the molecule (Ornish, Brown, & Scherwitz, 2001).…

Title: 15 Foods That Reduce Your Cancer Risk Header: To help you choose health-protecting foods. Every year, almost 11 million people receive a cancer diagnosis. Science hasn 't developed a cure, but has discovered many cancer-causing substances and those that thwart its growth. According to The American Institute for Cancer Research (http://www.aicr.org/), there are foods that reduce your cancer risk directly and indirectly. Those that reduce risk directly contain cancer fighting compounds.…
