Glycogen storage disease

The results of the experiment showed a significant change in plasma glucose and serum cortisol concentrations of the sheep that were administered insulin which validates the hypothesis of the experiment. Glucose does not readily penetrate cell membranes as cell membranes are composed of phospholipids and glucose is hydrophilic and lipophobic due to the hydroxyl groups (Klein, 2013). Insulin, the major hormone that controls plasma glucose concentrations, increases the permeability of the liver,…

glucose levels get to low the hormone glycogen is produced. They both come from the pancreas but insulin also helps glucose get transported into the cells (Quesada et al., 2008). The body uses glucose as a primary source of energy through a variety of metabolic reactions. Glucose is a sugar that gets broken down through glycolysis into ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) inside of the cell (Stanfield, 2013). When there is an excess of glucose, the liver converts it to glycogen through a process called…

The results from the first experiment confirmed the hypothesis, to a certain extent, in that increasing stimulus strength will increase the force generated by the gastrocnemius muscle and visa versa till 0.2V, where the force germinated starts to decrease. As shown in Table 2 and Figure 2, the strength of the stimulus started from 0.00 V to 1.00V with 0.05 V and 0.10V intervals. At 0.10V the force generated by the muscle increases rapidly from 0mN to 288.33mN. The force generated by the muscle…

the unknown but a set of other solution were used to help as indicators to match the unknown solution’s results. It consisted of biuret, iodine and benedict solution. Iodine solution is used to determine if the source had starch or glycogen. If the source had glycogen consisted inside, there would be a reddish-brown precipitation occurring (Daniel Luzon Morris,1946). Iodine can also react with the starch which could potentially create a The colour of the precipitate that forms a purple…

communication. “Muscular homeostasis is cell to cell communication that coordinate their functions and maintain homeostasis using chemical messengers and electrical signals.” ( Amerman 27pg) The scale becomes unbalance when a disease inhibits the body and alters the homeostasis process. One disease that completely alters homeostasis in the body is Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy or DMD. DMD is an X-linked disorder caused by mutations of the human gene that produces a dystrophin protein, which help…

Amauris Lopez HPE 313 Take home Test 1 After the first 2.5 minutes Glycolysis follows ATP-PC (Adenosine Triphosphate (Phosphocreatine) ATP-PC system is the primary system behind very short powerful movements used for short durations of 10 seconds. The ATP-PC system does not produce any lactic acid or use oxygen it is an alactic anaerobic energy system. This system facilitates all short powerful movements, such as the average tennis rally that typically last about 5 to 10 seconds with 2 to 3…

Worth the Risk? Performance Enhancing Drugs (PEDs) are substances used to improve any form of performance in humans and boost self-confidence. Athletes and bodybuilders take PEDs. Military personnel use them to enhance combat performance. PEDs came along in the beginning of the Olympics Games (776-393 BC) because athletes were concentrated on winning. Many athletes wanted the edge over their rivals and wanted to make sure their performance was going to be the best it could be. A growing…

spinal muscular atrophy (HCSMA) is proven to be an autosomal-dominate disease that affects most noticeably the Brittany spaniel (Pinter MJ, Waldeck RF, Wallace N, & Cork LC, Motor Unit Behavior in Canine Motor Neuron Disease, 1995). HCSMA originated as a spontaneous mutation in the Survivor Motor Neutron gene found in the purebred Brittany spaniel population (Ericsson. A & Rubin. C, 2012). Due to the co-dominate nature of the disease there are slight variation in the phenotype expressed in the…

week task. I will talk about the relationship between conveyance of muscle fiber sort and action. I will also clarify how practice preparing alter or change a man 's fiber-sort conveyance. We additionally need to portray the systems by which muscle glycogen is separated to glucose for use in glycolysis. Depict how a nerve motivation is transmitted along its axon and clarify what are points of interest of fat over sugar for fuel stockpiling in the body is. At long last, I will depict the…

Eating on the road whether you’re an athlete or a non-athlete is hard to do. Places like Taco Bell, McDonalds, or Burger King make it easy to go through the drive-thru and be on your way, I mean that is why they call it fast food. Fast food franchises are easy to go to but very unhealthy for you especially if you are an athlete. Though you may not be able to bring your entire kitchen with you while you’re away you can still be on the lookout for the hidden fats when your team and you stop and…
