Rockets Rockets are tall thin vehicles that are equipped with an engine. A rocket engine functions by burning fuel. Rockets turn the fuel into hot gas, pushing the gas out of its back, making the rocket move forward. Robert Hutchings Goddard is deemed the father of rocket science. Many have contributed to the develop ment of rockets, but the studies of a certain few have been recognized and had an impact on the world of rockets. Russian Konstantin E. Tsiolkovsky published Rocket…

Discussion In the current study, we tested the hypothesis that high protein meal would produce lower postprandial glucose level than high carbohydrate meal with the similar energy content. Also, the high protein meal could decrease the energy intake in ad libitum lunch meal and reduced the total daily energy intake greater than the high carbohydrate meal. The result of this present study showed that consumption of protein rich breakfast meals led to lower glucose IAUC response and reduced the…

your whole body. It also helps circulate carbon dioxide, nutrients, and hormones throughout the body. (Johnson, p 651) Blood is a liquid that flows through the body. It is composed of several different particles: Red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma, and platelets. Red blood cells are cells in the blood that transports oxygen molecules and nutrients to the whole body. Red blood cells are created inside the bone by the bone marrow. (What are red blood cells?) White blood cells are cells in…

The low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor is an important protein in human function. LDL receptor is the main protein that binds and carries cholesterol to maintain homeostasis in mammalian cells. In human plasma, it is also the most abundant cholesterol-carrying lipoprotein (Goldstein and Brown, 1987). It plays a major role in the development of atherosclerosis, a chronic disease caused by the accumulation of LDL-cholesterol in the blood. The LDL receptor is also the main protein that is…

Transcytosis is mediated by the binding of a receptor protein on the plasma membrane of an endothelial cell, with its specific ligand on the apical side. Caveolin-I protein present on the apical surface of the plasma membrane then forms microdomains called ‘caveolae’, which mediate transport of the ligand-receptor complex into the cell. Thus, coupling the nanocarrier-drug conjugate to a ligand…

PBD-Zellweger syndrome continuum, NALD is marked by limited psychomotor development, facial dimorphisms, seizures, in addition to visual and auditory impairments; being fatal in some cases. Its peroxisomal deficiencies impart the presence of defects in plasma very long chain fatty acid levels, bile acid, and associated biochemical parameters. Such abnormalities are a result of over fifteen genes that regulate peroxisomal biogenesis. Specifically, mutations to the PEX5 gene terminates normal…

Preclinical points of view Metformin improves the insulin resistance primarily in muscle, liver, and adipose tissues by reducing the liver glucose output, largely due to a diminution in the rate of glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis (97). Various beneficial effects of metformin include attenuation of abnormal glucose metabolism, weight loss, improvement of insulin resistance, endothelial dysfunction, subclinical inflammation, lipid-lowering properties, antineoplastic potential and cardiovascular…

are age, sex/gender, health and weight. In animals and humans, most of the body water is distributed and contained in the many body fluids in the body. These include the intracellular fluids inside the cells. The extracellular fluids outside cells, Plasma, interstitial fluid and transcellular fluids. Water is also however distributed and contained in the various organs, in gastrointestinal, cerebrospinal spinal, peritoneal, and ocular fluids. Also, Adipose tissue contains about 10% of water…

vitreous humor in maintaining the pressure of the globe, the structures related to the humor, functions of the humors, origin and also pathology related to them. PHYSIOLOGY OF THE AQUEOUS HUMOR The aqueous humour is a transparent fluid similar to plasma, but containing low protein concentrations. It is secreted from the ciliary epithelium (a structure supporting the lens). It is located in the anterior and posterior chambers of the eye, the space between the lens and the cornea. It flows…

Within the skeletal muscle cells, there are many organelles. Each cell contains a plasma membrane called the sarcolemma, covering the outer surface of the cell (Ivy Rose). The sarcolemma protects the muscle cell and allows for its shape to be kept. From the sarcolemma, tunnel-like extensions called transverse tubules pass through the muscle fiber (Ivy Rose). These transverse tubules connect the sarcoplasmic reticulum with the sarcolemma (Graham and Parker 117). The sarcoplasmic reticulum is a…
