PROPERTIES, USES, NUTRITIONAL BENEFITS IN HEALTH AND WEALTH AND IN HEALTH AND DISEASE: ABSTRACT: Coconut water (coconut liquid endosperm), with its many applications, is one of the world’s most versatile natural product. This refreshing beverage is consumed worldwide as it is nutritious and beneficial for health. There is increasing scientific evidence that supports the role of coconut water in health and medicinal applications. Coconut water is traditionally used as a growth supplement in plant…

The Specimen Reception – where I spent most of my day-to-day work – is part of the Lab-Med group that is situated in the Central Pathology lab, and is made up of the biochemistry laboratory, the haematology laboratory – which includes cryobiology and coagulation, the microbiology lab, the histopathology lab – which includes cytopathology, the immunology lab, cancer molecular diagnostics, and transfusion medicine, as well as the Irish mycobacterium reference lab, and the national MRSA reference…

There are several mechanism in which lead (Pb 2+) leads to an increase in free radicals and decrease in antioxidant enzymes. Lead can bind and inhibit the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, glutathione (GSH) peroxidase and glutathione reductase. The inhibition capability of lead is manifested in the capacity of lead to bind thiol groups of protein and non-protein biomolecules. By binding thiol groups of the antioxidant enzymes, lead can inhibit the activity of…

3. Measurement of glycated albumin As mentioned before, the measured albumin is considered a reliable tool to supplement other methods of measuring blood glucose, such as HbA1c and standard assays for glycemic control and diagnosis diabetes [30]. The HbA1c lifespan is estimated to be about 90 to 120 days. Thus, it is known as an indicator for the assessment of long-term glycemic control [17, 31]. However, the level of HbA1c is not suitable for the assessment of the patient’s status in some…

Psychological Stress Test The acute psychological stress test we used was a ten-minute version of the Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT) (Gronwall, 1977). This has been shown to reliably perturb both the cardiovascular system and salivary cortisol levels (Phillips et al., 2005, Phillips et al., 2006, Phillips et al., 2009) and demonstrate good test-retest reliability (Willemsen et al., 1998). In this task, the participants were presented, via a compact disc player, a series of single…

•Background and aim Soil salinity is one of the major environmental obstacles that limit the crop productivity. A pot experiment was conducted with an aim to explore the ameliorative effects of exogenously applied sodium nitroprusside (SNP) concentration against salinity stress in Brassica napus (L.) cv. Pactole. Methods Plants were grown under greenhouse conditions in plastic pots and were exposed to ***** mM NaCl. Further, ***** days old plants were sprayed with sodium nitroprusside (SNP,…

I chose to write my paper on the chapter two context involving a friend ordering alcohol while in the second trimester of her pregnancy. Many people believe that a glass of wine every now and then is not a bad thing to do during pregnancy, even some doctors say that it is tolerable. It may not be worst possible thing to ingest while pregnant, but in your second trimester the baby is still developing crucial parts of the body and the bones are becoming more dense. I think avoiding substances like…

Introduction Subclinical or “mild” hypothyroidism (SCH), which is defined as elevated thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels with free thyroxine concentrations within the reference range, is a very common disorder that increases with age and affects up to 18% of the elderly, with a higher prevalence in women compared to men (Baumgartner, 2014). Subclinical hypothyroidism is often diagnosed when thyroid tests are ordered for non-specific symptoms such as depression, weight gain, or fatigue.…

1.5. Enzyme-Polysaccharide Interactions Proteins and enzymes have become an integral part of many industrial processes as well as being applied both in cosmetics and in therapeutics. Due to advances in biotechnology and genetic engineering, mass production of protein and enzymes has become feasible. Use of enzymes is environmentally friendly as they catalyse reactions under mild conditions against polluting inorganic catalysts which works in the extremes of pH and temperature. However, this can…
