3) - RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 3.1. Proximate chemical: - Proximate chemical composition: - 3.1.1. The proximate compositions of sea bass are shown in Table1. The results obtained from this study indicated that the moisture contents in the sea bass fillets (g/100g fish muscle) 77.30 ±.53%, protein, 18.85±.34%, Total lipid, 2.50 ±.29 % and ash 1.51±.61%. Similar to the data obtained by Alasalvar et al., (2002) and O zogul et al., (2005). Approximate chemical composition values for sea bass from…

medicinal form. Food sources of vitamin C are especially fruits and vegetables, particularly citrus fruits such as oranges. Vitamin C has significant relationships with other nutrients. It contributes to the metabolism of certain amino acids such as phenylalanine and tyrosine which become hormones. The vitamin C can have a significant role in the metabolism of calcium and iron. It also protects the thiamine, riboflavin, folic acid, pantothenic acid, vitamin A and E from oxidation. It protects…

A Poison as Sweet as Sugar Introduction/Thesis There are many different alternatives to sugar that a person can use in their foods. Some of the most common are Aspartame (known as Nutrasweet or Equal), Sucralose (Splenda), Saccharin (Sweet Twin), and Xylitol or Sorbitol. Most artificial sweeteners are not a healthy alternative, and Aspartame is no different. This artificial sweetener, accidentally found by a researcher, known as James M. Schlatter, who was working on a treatment for stomach…

genetic disease in the UK. The genetic defect was identified by a group of scientists in 1989.In the UK it has been found that 1 in 25 people carry the faulty CF allele. CF is caused by deletion of 3 nucleotides in chromosome 7. The amino acid phenylalanine is lost as a result of this mutation. It is autosomal recessive so both the CFTR alleles should be faulty to cause the disease. Many of the epithilial linings of the ducts in the human body have a layer of mucus on it. It helps trap dust…

Staphylococcus epidermidis is a gram-positive cocci, that measured approximately 0.5um and had an optimum growth temperature of 37°C. Generally, when given an unknown solution, Staphylococcus epidermidis has features that can distinguish it from other forms of bacteria. After doing a gram stain, it was noticed that the bacteria had a cocci morphology, meaning that the cell can either be staphylococcus, enterococcus, or micrococcus. Using the gram stain, it can also be seen that the bacteria in…

Transmembrane ring proteins, which anchor NPC onto nuclear envelope; 2. Scaffold nucleoporins, which give NPC a ring-shaped curvature due to their membrane- bending properties; 3. Channel nucleoporins that line the NPC pore, composing mainly hydrophobic phenylalanine(F) - glycine(G) repeats. Transport of proteins into the nucleus from cytosol occurs via gated transport. For this transport to occur, the amino acids sequence of the proteins must contain a signal sequence deemed as nuclear…

3.1 NATEGLINIDE (Javed et. al., 2013) Nateglinide [N-(trans-4-isopropylcyclohexylcarbonyl)-D-phenylalanine] is a novel, highly physiologic, glucose regulator recently approved for the treatment of type-2 diabetes mellitus. Nateglinide has a rapid onset and short duration of insulinotropic action that results in reduction of glucose level. Nateglinide block the K-ion channels in pancreatic beta-cells, facilitating insulin secretion. In the present investigation formulation and evaluation of…

Carbon monoxide poisoning is fatal. Carbon monoxide binds to haemoglobin at the same site as oxygen – the iron atom within the haem group – however carbon monoxide will bind with a strength 200 times that of oxygen. This means that if carbon monoxide is inhaled it was always displace oxygen within haemoglobin. If oxygen can no longer bind to haemoglobin then the respiring cells of the body can no longer receive oxygen and will eventually die. When carbon monoxide binds to haemoglobin it causes…

“This year, I am going to lose some weight “ If you find yourself making this normal new year’s resolution, know this: the main principle to lose weight is to burn more calories than you take in which is a tough job to keep up with.
