The researchers used two groups of rats: one fed the ketogenic diet regimen and the other a control diet. They found that chronic ketosis resulted in the increased production of mitochondrial proteins as well as proteins associated with oxidative phosphorylation, the cells primary mechanism for producing ATP. The researchers used electron micrographs from the dentate-hilar region of the hippocampus, and visually analyzed the micrographs from ketogenic diet fed rats and control diet fed rats.…

also contained within this interhelical domain where the retinal is bound (Lanyi, 1998). In the ground state this central channel is…

My Reflection Paper While completing the first module for neurology there were many aspects of the brain that I was completely unaware of and found interesting. As a speech-language pathologist, it is important for one to know the function of the brain so one can have the skills to help improve the ability for an individual to communicate with others. Damage to certain parts of the brain function can lead to some drastic consequences relating to speech and language functions. I had always found…

either the Red sea or the English channel. Initially the bacteria was fed bicarbonate and baking soda which contained CO2, they used baking soda that contained radioactive carbon as this enabled them to accurately measure how much carbon the bacteria was fixing. After a couple of hours the scientists brought in the viruses, the result of which was that carbon fixation stopped, and reported that bacteria which were infected with the phages of the English Channel and Red Sea fixed 4.8 to 2.3 less…

1. Pyrimidines are heterocyclic aromatic amines which, together with purines, form nucleotides. Nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids, the basic structural component of DNA and RNA. The pyrimidines in DNA are cytosine and thymine, and in RNA uracil replaces thymine (Bettelheim, Brown, Campbell, Farrell & Torres, 2013). 
DNA and RNA are found in the nuclei of all cells and their job is to transmit the information needed for cellular growth and reproduction (Averill & Eldredge,…

are possibly the most important part of any theatre production. The modern control system is typically computerised as they have more features and can do more than the average manual lighting board. They began as manual single channel dimmer sets and have become multi-channel automatic control systems. This essay will explore all of the features of a modern control system and how they differ from the original control boards, the impact of modern control systems in theatre, and what could be next…

Pollution is one of the most serious problems that affect our environment, and its effects on all life aspects are clear to everyone. Because of this, pollution is one of the most serious issues that all the word countries are concerned about. As time goes, the pollution problem increases and also the population growth increase. The increase in demand for water and food supplies place an increasing stress on the ground and surface water quality and quantity. One of the environmental problems…

still has insulin resistance but now has beta cell dysfunction from being overworked. For this patient I would look to the second-degree treatment options of a sulfonylurea and GLP-1 receptor agonist. The sulfonylurea is an inhibitor of potassium channels in the beta cells, which mimics the rise in ATP and depolarizes the cell allowing calcium influx and then insulin release. This medication will help to bring function back to the dysfunctional beta cells of the pancreas and produce more…

Boeing 787 Dreamliner is the project plan of Boeing company about light weight aircraft with high technology. The project of this aircraft has facing several problems such as software problem that led to engine shutting down automatically, lithium ion battery that causes fire inside the aircraft and others problem that led delay in the production. The Boeing 787 has 3 different categories which are 787-3 that has been designed to fit in 250 passengers, 2 class, short range body and with range of…

Motor function and motor control begin in the motor cortex of the brain. The primary motor cortex is associated with generation of a motor program. Premotor areas are involved in complicated motor functions, such as required changes in output forces or velocities, or motor response to visual or auditory input. Also, the basal ganglia and thalamus are important coordinating centers for goal­directed motor programs and patterns. The cerebellum allows for unimpeded movements of those motor programs…
