Lipid

Abstract This experiment was a study of the different properties of a lipid bilayer. We used fluorescent microscopy to study the lateral diffusion of lipids and binding properties biotin and anti-biotin. The effect cholesterol has on the fluidity of the membrane was tested using Fluorescent Recovery After Photobleaching (FRAP). We used a Nikon Eclipse 50i upright fluorescent microscope with a Digital Sight DM-2MBW CCD camera to take images of the bilayer after photobleaching. Using these images…

What is PCOS? Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder that causes high levels of androgen to be produced by the ovaries, insulin resistance and small cysts to develop in the area surrounding the ovaries. The disorder is normally diagnosed in younger women who develop infertility, facial hair, skin problems and absent periods as a result of the hormones. Recent studies have focused on the long-term effects of the syndrome and what changes it brings to women as they enter…

Introduction: about 9% of acute ischemic strokes are complicated with myocardial infarction, and about 2-6% of acute anterior wall myocardial infarctions are complicated with stroke. They occur at the same time or with a difference of several days. Case report: The patient is 47 years old female who had diagnosed lumbar disc disease and constant numbness in her left leg. The disease started with a permanent feeling of weakness in her left leg and transitory numbness in her left arm; at the same…

LINEAGE DIFFERENTIATION IN GAUCHER IPSC-DERIVED NEURONAL PROGENITORS. Robert Liu*, Ola Awad, and Ricardo Feldman, Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD. Gaucher disease (GD) is an inherited lipid-storage disease caused by mutations in the acid beta-glucocerebrosidase gene (GBA1). Mutant glucocerebrosidase (GCase) leads to the accumulation of glucosylceramide and neurotoxic metabolites. In types 1, 2, and 3 GD, sphingolipid…

many biochemical processes that support life and required for a host of physiological. it is an one of the most essential plant micronutrient and it play a major role in growth and metabolism, mainly in enzyme activation, metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, gene expression and regulation, protein synthesis and reproductive development of plants (Marschner, 1995). It is estimate that More than 30% of soils have low Zn availability. So, Zn is also one of the most deficient…

Multiple sclerosis (MS) affects about 2.3 million people from around the world and women are affected by it by about two times more than men. For characteristics, MS has three different phenotypic subtypes; progressive relapsing MS, secondary progressive MS, and primary progressive MS. The causes of multiple sclerosis are uncertain, but it is considered an autoimmune disease. An autoimmune disease is where the immune system attacks its own tissue. MS is thought to be responsible for…

The body must quickly adapt, as they receive a lack of nutrition, leaving the person with low energy. In which the body starts using the restore lipids and muscle to consume energy from. They must also be physiologically prepare to see hundreds of friends, foes and love ones die on a daily basis (Line 20 “The corpses were collected in hundreds every…

Why is spinal cord injury considered an orphan disease? It affects a relatively small amount of people How do functional abilities differ in quadriplegia and paraplegia? Quadriplegia occurs when there is a spinal cord injury in the neck. It affects the sensory and motor information going to all four limbs. If the injury occurs in the thoracic spinal cord, the arms are okay but the patient is paralyzed from that point down. That is called paraplegia. Both quadriplegia and paraplegia can be…

Another daily use of coconut oil which has become popular is as a moisturizer to treat dry scalp and rough hairs for its improvement and to prevent them from any damage, that’s the magic of lipids. A clinical trial revealed that dry skins of selected individuals were hydrated and became soft when treated with coconut oil…
