Metabolic pathway

show a decreased number of neurons in this brain area, but rather a reduction of dendritic spines responsible for connecting different neurons. Researchers believe this is what may cause symptoms of disorganized nature. FMRIs also confirmed reduced metabolic activity in the prefrontal…

The immune system is the primary and essential protective mechanism against different organisms. Aflatoxin B1, a secondary metabolite of fungi, impairs the immune system. However, the mechanisms responsible for the immunomodulating effects of aflatoxin B1 have not been clearly determined. Numerous studies reported that aflatoxin B1 exerts its toxicity on the immune system by different mechanisms. Inhibition of the aforementioned synthesis might directly or indirectly cause prevention of…

One things importants, the citric acid cycle is an amphibolic pathway. The krebs cycle a role in anabolism. For example the Anaplerotic reaction, these reactions replenish the intermediates of the citric cycle that are removed to serve as biosynthetic precursors. Thry are regulated to keep the level to intermerdiates…

regulator (Lsr2), a novel biotin biosynthesis enzyme MMAR_2770, and his work on BCG vaccines all can potentially offer leads for new anti-mycobacterial management. Currently, beside working on Lsr2 and BCG vaccines, Dr. Liu's lab is also identifying metabolic pathways that are potential targets for drug development. Dr. Liu's continuing studies on the molecular factors that contribute to the virulence of Mtb will undoubtedly provide addition insights as to how TB can be…

Insulin, one of the most important peptide hormone in the body, which plays significant role in maintaining the blood glucose level in the body. Under certain physiological conditions such as pregnancy, the body mechanism changes due to elevated levels of certain secretory factor like leptin, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, TNF-α, plasminogen activator and testosterone (McLachlan et al., 2006), which produces certain adverse effects, insulin resistance being the most prominent one, where the…

There are two different types of organisms that produce histidine, they are plants and microorganisms. Both organisms produce histidine in the same metabolic pathway (Ingle). Histidine are produced by adenosine triphosphate (ATP) donating a carbon and a nitrogen, glutamine and glutamate provide two more nitrogen atoms, and then lastly the phosphorylated monosaccharide 5-phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate provides…

Week 3 of lab, we received our unknown microorganisms. That week we performed a differential staining to determine whether our unknown has a gram-negative envelope which stains red or gram positive envelope which stains blue. Gram-negative microorganisms stain red because of their inability to bind crystal violet and their ability to bind the safranin. Gram-positive microorganism, however, stains blue due to their ability to retain the primary stain, crystal violet. I determined my unknown…

the process to which enzymes act upon are called substrates, which are converted to the products by the actions of the enzyme. Almost all metabolic processes require enzymes to catalyze reactions to a rate that is fast enough to sustain life. Enzymes increase the rate of the reaction by lowering the activation energy by providing an alternative reaction pathway. Metaphorically, enzymes lower the energy hill that a reaction must leap over in order for the reaction to proceed forward. The enzyme…

Basic Anatomy and Physiology 02/15/2016 Unit 1 Chapter 1*3 1. Describe homeostasis and give three specific examples in the human body. Homeostasis is a systems that helps regulates the body systems and maintains keeping it stable. It also determines that it is used to name processes within living organisms. It?s constantly used to apply which is automatic control systems also known as thermostats. Occasionally recommends a sensor to capture changes in the condition to be regulated by the…
