Lipid

It was detected that the entire lipid profile consisting of total cholesterol, LDL, TG, and HDL had a statistically significant improvement one year after surgery. The mean total cholesterol decreased significantly from 277.15±59.57mg/dl to 143.41±18.15 mg/dl (P < 0.001), the mean LDL…

Cinnamon and Diabetes Diabetes is a group of disorders specified by increased glucose levels in the blood due to problems in the secretion of insulin or the action of insulin in the body. Eyes, heart, kidneys and blood vessels are some of the organs which can be affected by chronic hyperglycemia in diabetes.(Association 2014) Type 1 diabetes also known as insulin-dependent diabetes is the type of diabetes in which the body produces deficient amounts of insulin. People who have type 1 diabetes…

the formation of unknown tumors that further deteriorates our health. When the substance from the lean meat called “heme” reacts with the oxidised cholesterol substance (via a process called lipid peroxidation reaction) from the high lipid foods, it leads to the formation of bad radicals. These so called lipid peroxide radicals are the same group of free radicals which can harm our DNA gene by stimulating the growth of cancerous cells. Not only these radicals will cause cancer, but also they…

. Leukotrienes are part of a lipid which is released from mast cell membranes, they often act similarly to histamines for they act on smooth muscle contraction, increased vascular permeability. They act in the later stages of the inflammatory response because they are slower and have…

A low carb diet refers to a diet that has a limited content of carbohydrates and is high in proteins and fat. There are many kinds of low carb diets that exist. Since carbohydrates are the integral source of calories, low carbs are known to work great for weight loss; in fact, they work beyond weight loss, such as reducing risk from factors like diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Elaborating further, carbohydrates that are consumed by a human body can be segregated into: naturally occurring…

The process of digesting the hamburger you love is not as simple as you would think. It can take up to three days to fully digest the hamburger since it is a more fattier food. The first step of the process is mastication, which begins in your mouth. The food is broken down into smaller pieces by the grinding of teeth and the movement of the tongue. At this point salivary amylase is secreted by the exocrine glands and breaks down the starches and simple sugars from carbohydrates. Once the…

Myosin are a large superfamily of motor molecule which is move along cytoskeletal filaments and interact with actin filaments. That movement requires huge amount of hydrolysis ATP molecules to change the conformation. The genomic analysis thirteen different members of the myosin gene. In addition, the most present myosin type in all eukaryotic cells are: myosin I and myosin II. On the other hand, the less present type of myosin is myosin V. Also, myosin can be divided to two class; conventional…

reticulum is the primary form of transportation in the cell, including during the protein-making process. It transports the unfinished protein from the ribosomes to the golgi body. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum specifically, performs carbohydrate and lipid synthesis. It also has many other functions, depending on what type of cell. In myocytes, the smooth endoplasmic reticulum aids in the contraction of muscles. In nerve cells, it synthesizes male and female hormones. In our model, the…

capsid, composed of protein subunits and an inner core of nucleic acids with either DNA or RNA. They contain protein, nucleic acid, and lipids. Some viruses like the influenza virus also have spikes, which attach the virus to a host cell. The interior of a virus can contain enzymes that assist in the manufacture of a new virus. Many animal viruses contain a lipid envelope. When looking at bacteria in a microscope it looks like many different shapes. It looks rod shaped, spherical, curved,…

Cholesterol and essential fatty acids also form a part of the nutritional profile of egg yolks. The jury is still out on just how bad cholesterol is for your arteries. But, there is absolutely no doubt that cholesterol is very good for your skin. The lipid shield that protects the dermal layers contains cholesterol. So, when used topically, egg yolks help to fortify the skin’s defense mechanism. The proteins in egg yolks, including the famed biotin are absolutely necessary to keep your skin…
