chemistry and lead to the cell’s early death.” G6PD is responsible for protecting red blood cells from damage and without it, hemolytic anemia arises, along with a list of other complications like weakness, fatigue, kidney failure, heart failure, and jaundice. Diagnosing this would require a simple blood test that would check for G6PD enzyme levels. Eating fava beans creates a similar reaction because of compounds called vicine and convicine that produce free radicals (and that’s how it got its…

the enzymes used are involved in human digestion while others are involved in clinical tests for certain diseases (Wilson, D’Alessio, Schmitt Lavin, Keith, & BIOL 1500 Team, 2015). The ALP enzyme is used to diagnose diseases such as bone cancer, jaundice and cirrhosis of the liver. This enzyme also catalyzes the hydrolysis of a phosphate group connected to lipids in vivo or to proteins (Wilson et al., 2015). There are three major reasons that enzymes are important. The first reason is that…

Abstract The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of Cichorium intybus on lipid peroxidation activities of both enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants, inflammatory mediators, myocardial enzymes and histopathology of cardiac tissues in experimental diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). Diabetic cardiomyopathy was induced by single intraperitoneal injection of STZ (40mg/kg) combined with high energy intake in rats. Seed extract of Cichorium intybus (CIE) (250mg/kg & 500mg/kg) was…

beds are said to have is a way of treating certain diseases. The process is called photo therapy, which gives was of UV radiation to treat the patient. “UV radiation is also used to treat several diseases, including rickets, psoriasis, eczema and jaundice,” (Health Effects of UV Radiation 1). There is lots of justification for UV tanning being used when it helps treat diseases. This does not, however wave away the fact the extra exposure also leaves patients vulnerable to cancers or increased…

What are sudoriferous glands, and where are they located? They are sweat glands and they are located throughout the body. 11. What is sweat composed of and what are two functions of sweat?

Sickle cell anaemia describes a hereditary autosomal recessive disorder that affects a protein found in red blood cells (erythrocytes) called haemoglobin. Erythrocytes contain about 280 million haemoglobin molecules that are composed of globulin protein and a heme molecule that binds to iron. Haemoglobin allows respiration of oxygen and exchange of carbon dioxide in blood, essential for all body systems. This disorder, determined at contraception, results in 100% of blood cells becoming sickle…
