High protein diet

The Fad Diet of Robert Atkins This is a four phase diet. 1. Phase 1 (Induction): Under 20 grams of carbs per day for 2 weeks. Eat high-fat, high-protein, with low-carb vegetables like leafy greens. This kick-starts the weight loss. 2. Phase 2 (Balancing): Slowly add more nuts, low-carb vegetables and small amounts of fruit back to your diet. 3. Phase 3 (Fine-Tuning): When you are very close to your goal weight, add more carbs to your diet until weight loss slows down. 4. Phase 4 (Maintenance):…

decrease absorption of iron by 4-5 fold in human (Hurrel et al., 1992). Depending on the amount of plant-derived foods in the diet and the grade of food processing, the daily intake of phytic acid can be as high as 4 500 mg (Reddy, 2002). In average, Reddy et al. (1982) found the daily intake of phytic acid to be an estimated 2000-2600 mg for vegetarian diets as well as diets of inhabitants of rural areas of developing countries, and 150-1400 mg for mixed…

production of the protein menin that acts as a tumor suppressor. It prevents cells from growing and dividing too rapidly. Mutations of the MEN1 gene result in an altered menin protein that is no longer able to control cell growth and division The CDC73 gene allows for the making of the parafibromin protein which is a tumor suppressor as well. A mutation here causes a decrease of the parafibromin protein. The CASR gene is involved in the production of the calcium-sensing receptor protein (CaSR).…

sodium cotransporter, SGLT1 [6]. SGLT1 uses the sodium gradient to move the glucose molecule down the gradient since it does not have its own energy to do so [6]. The sodium ion pulls molecule with it as it goes back into the cell through carrier proteins. Na+/K+ Pump and the Heart The regulation of Na+/K+-ATPase is important to the muscle tissue of the heart, the myocardial [4]. The ATPase enzymes determine the “set point” and regulate contraction of the cardiac and vascular muscles [4]. Heart…

help prevent or control type 2 diabetes. (max. 3 marks) There are 3 distinct lifestyles choices that can help prevent or control types 2 diabetes, they include: Consuming low glycemic foods that are rich in nutrients and fibre as part of a healthy diet. participating in physical activity regularly with moderate exercise maintain a healthy body weight All these choice can help an individual prevent type two diabetes. By working on choices one and two you are simultaneously achieving choice…

Charbill Klayme 0993551 Dr. Hye-Jeong Yeo Functions of SREBPs Abstract SREBPs are 1,150 Amino Acid long proteins that are used to activate cholesterolgenesis. SREBP-1a are used to induce all the response genes. The SREBP-2 are used to allow expression of the LDL receptor. Ubiquination, usually by the kinase GSK3, can be the weapon to destructing SREBPs. SREBP-1a will build more cholesterol and fatty acids in rats and mice when it is over expressed. The SREBP-1c are best studied in the…

the pomace is mixed with hot water and liquefaction enzymes (pectinases and cellulases). The pomace is then pressed once more for extraction juice41-43. This process results in the release of oligo- and polysaccharides from the apple pomace, causing high colloid concentration in the extraction juice43. Some of oligosaccharides mentioned above were studied for their beneficial physiologic effects, such as potential prebiotic activities38, as potential chemoprevention agent or anti-tumor agent by…

processing and storage. Without this multipurpose organ digestion of carbohydrates, fats and protein would not yield as much energy for body function. Also many common foods would be so toxins that would cause death or serious damage if consumed. The livers first role is producing enzymes to counter toxic compounds consumed in the diet. An example of its detoxification role is with alcohol, which is a stable in many diets. Wine at dinner is only possible due to the liver producing an enzyme…

receptor as well, RXR-α heterodimerizes with PPARγ. The ligand that activates RXR-α is the ligand 9-cis retinoic acid that results in dissociation of corepressor and recruitment of coactivator protein, also called NCoA (Vikas et.al 2008) . Figure 6. NCoA-2 Transcriptional coregulatory protein proteins interact with transcription…
