Liver

animals. In humans the sun or a synthetic light source is synthesized. The form available from animal foods such as fatty fish, egg yolks, and liver is the vitamin D3. Both Vitamin D2 and Vitamin D3 are biologically inactive, whether obtained through UVB exposure, diet or supplements. There is evidence vitamin D3 is better absorbed than vitamin D2. In the liver, the vitamin D is converted to 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], known as calcifidiol, and in the kidney it becomes the biologically active…

low potassium levels in the body . We need a sufficient amount of potassium in our blood to ensure sustainable signals to the heart. For a healthy liver It is known that the positive effect of lemon for liver health. Water with lemon dissolves uric acid and other toxins in the liver. Lemon is rich in potassium and is very effective in certain liver disorders that cause constipation, headache, vomiting and loss of appetite. And in these cases is referred to very good effect of hot water and…

explained. The reason for that is by increasing enzyme concentration present in a sample, it can increase the enzyme's activity and that is what we are studying. We conducted a Bradford Assay to measure the protein concentration of the mitochondrial liver cell fractions.…

diseases. One of those diseases is malaria it was brought from Africa it an illness that is transmitted by a mosquito bite and it can impact your liver cells as well put you in a life threatening situation if you do not get treated rapidly.Back then many people would died because they were not treatment.After you been bitten the parasite reproduces in the liver cells later it will burst open that allowing hundreds of parasites to enter your bloodstream .Some common symptoms of malaria include…

water. It has an extremely large liver, bigger than most species of sharks. The liver is believed to be ¼ of the overall body weight.

All they really eat is zooplankton. They really don't eat other fishes or sea animal even though it’s the second biggest mammal in the sea. The basking shark liver does most of the work it…

disappears or persiits. HBsAg for 6 months indicates chronic HBV infection. 3) Individuals with chronic HBV infection should be referred for evaluation by a medics experienced in the control of chronic liver disease. (131) Certain patients with chronic hepatitis B will profit from early intervention with antiviral therapy or screening to detect hepatocellular carcinoma at an early stage. 4) Household, sexual, and needle-sharing contacts of chronically infected individuals should be identified…

Lipocalin-2 (LCN2) is a small secreted adipokine that binds and transports small hydrophobic molecules such as fatty acids and steroids. In addition, LCN2 limits bacterial growth by sequestering iron-containing siderophores. In mammalian liver, LCN2 protects against inflammation, infection, injury and other forms of cellular stress. Because previous work indicated that LCN2 is a key modulator of hepatic fat metabolism and homeostasis, we performed a comparative profiling of the proteins and…

kidney damage, atherosclerosis, stroke, and heart attack. If left untreated, it can lead to abruptio placentae, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral vascular accident, acute renal failure, and intrauterine growth restrictions for the fetus (Norton 2007).” This decreased circulation leads to significant changes as follows: Decreased renal perfusion reduces the glomerular filtration rate causing blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, and uric acid levels to rise; Glomerular damage from the reduced renal blood…

Inflammation is an essential part and highly regulated response to injury that promotes healing and provides protection against infection. Inflammation is frequently painful and hot, which can be easily controlled by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. In 2012, 98 million NSAIDs were prescribed in the U.S. (“Treating Osteoarthritis and Pain” www.consumerreports.com) NSAIDs are commonly used to treat pain and reduce fever and inflammation by reducing the amount of prostaglandins the body makes.…

By the time Tobit had reached an older age, he was determined to burry fallen Israelites, but throughout his journey he was sure his life meant nothing anymore and prayed…
