Plasma

to the body tissues in two forms: either combined with molecule of haemoglobin, and travels in the form of oxyhemoglobin or in a dissolved form in the plasma. Every 100 ml of oxygen rich blood contained with about 20 ml of oxygen from which 19.7 ml is transported to all the body tissues by haemoglobin, and the remaining 0.3 is dissolved in plasma. Haemoglobin is of vital importance in replenishing all the body tissues with a rich supply of oxygen; its main responsibility is to deliver oxygen…

In this paper I will argue on how Kathryn Edin and H. Luke Shaefer’s recent studies in the book “$2.00 A Day- Living On Almost Nothing In America” directly reflects on poverty throughout America and why people that are in poverty live the way they do. After reading this book I was not amazed as I thought I would be. I did become interested in the authors after learning that they been scholars of the poor for more than twenty years. I also like their methods and strategies on studying the poor…

weeks. The study includes the type of research such as; Epidemiological and Laboratory-based studies. The scientific testing methods used included the following; oral and intravenous glucose testing, taking blood samples, measuring glucose in the plasma, adipocyte morphometry, lipid extraction from feces and RNA preparation. The quantitative methods used included measuring body weight, measuring food intake from was left in the mouse cage at the end of the week, the spillage of food in the…

The human body is built up with multiple organs. Each of these organs has a specific function or sometimes two. For example, the pancreas has two functions the endocrine and the exocrine. Also, each of these organs has to be balanced in order for us to be maintaining a good health. If these organs are not in the homeostasis state which means to regulate the internal environment and to maintain a stabilization, diseases can occur at any time. One of the disorders that can be seen if the…

What is UGT1A4? The majority of drugs are metabolized to form compounds that are more polar in structure than their parental precursors. The ultimate goal is to 1) increase the hydrophilicity of the presented compounds along with their molecular weight, 2) inactivate their biological effects and 3) facilitate their efflux from the cells, subsequently followed by excretion into bile or urine1. The metabolic enzymes in charge of this process are traditionally organized into two separate…

identical. This process is done very fast which allows the bacteria to be able to grow quickly in number. The process starts by copying the DNA of the bacteria. Then the transverse wall forms to help divide the cell. The transverse wall is made up of the plasma and cell wall that grow to eventually divide the cell. Once the cell divides it causes there to be two identical cells rather than just one (Berg, Martin, Solomon, 2008). Bacteria reproduce sexually through conjugation. The actual sexual…

My overarching research interests focuses on delineating animal 's metabolic responses to nutrition interventions or health conditions, associated with the animal performance and quality of its derived products. I use a combination of modern analytical chemistry (liquid/gas chromatography and mass spectrometry) and bioinformatics (univariate and multivariate statistical analysis) to measure metabolites in biological samples to provide insights on physiological or pathological status and…

China’s blood-selling frenzy and the ensuing AIDs epidemic which wiped out entire villages in rural Henan province. Beginning in the early 1990s, the booming biotech industry in China raised demand for plasma donations, to which the provincial Henan government responded by heading a campaign for blood plasma donations in exchange for money. For more than 3 million rural and impoverished Chinese, the opportunity was too good to pass up; for millions of poor Chinese, represented in the novel by…

Varying environmental climates require organisms to develop defense mechanisms to survive. For conditions under freezing temperatures, each animal has a response. If an animal is unprepared for the extreme situation, the formation of ice leads to a destruction of tissues and most organisms are unable to tolerate even frostbite; which make animals adapt to stay warm and out of the cold. Biochemical studies have examined why amphibians can tolerate freezing temperatures. Many amphibians, though…

The medical laboratory is a staple of any hospital or clinic and is essential in providing accurate results for the patient. Blood banking is of particular importance because of its direct tie to helping patients. There are a number of tests that must be performed on blood, and the clinic as a whole would not be able to function without them. In the laboratory, there are certain tests that must be performed on all donated blood. Blood typing is done to determine the donor’s ABO blood group and…
