PROTEOMICS AND NUTRIGENOMICS ASSIGNMENT: PUFA AS NUTRACEUTICAL SUBMITTED TO: DR. SANAULLAH IQBAL SUBMITTED BY: MAHAM ABID REGISTRATION NO. : 2014-ND-026 NUTRACEUTICAL Nutraceutical is referred to a functional food ingredient or a nutrient that possesses therapeutic properties and claim health benefits among people. CLASSIFICATION BASED ON CHEMICAL NATURE Nutraceuticals can be divided as follows: • Isoprenoid derivatives • Phenolic substances • Fatty acids and structural lipids •…

Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency also known as A1AD or AAT Deficiency is a genetic disorder. Laurell and Erickson in Sweden reported the first patients with the condition in 1963. Since their discovery much has been learned about the history if A1AD (Liebrman, 2002). The name of the disease comes from a deficiency of the serum antiprotease. This enzyme is a protein that protects the lungs from germs, dust, pollution, smoke and other inhaled chemicals. This enzyme…

Livestock production and climate change affect and get influenced by each other. The most important effects of climate change on the environment and livestock include rise in temperature, elevation in sea level, alteration in microbial eco-system and several others effects, known or unknown which might affect the livestock positively or negatively. There have been various predictions about the quantum of sea level rise with varying degree of confidence because many of the natural phenomena have…

Amyloidosis is an incurable fatal disease where abnormal proteins called amyloid fibrils are misfolded and then deposited in the tissues and organs of the body. It is a serious condition that can affect one organ or tissue or multiple organs at the same time. This study was performed to analyze and describe the latest clinical trials, research, diagnosis procedures, treatment plans, and drugs available for the treatment of amyloidosis AL (primary), AA (secondary), ATTR (hereditary and senile),…

3. Nanomedicine in the treatment of cardiovascular disease 3.1 Intervention in cardiovascular disease with liposome Delivery of therapeutics to targeted tissues is possible through the design and construction of nanoscale particles while reduced toxicity as well as higher efficiency is obtainable [67,68]. Liposomes have huge skillfulness with regard to physicochemical characteristics, permitting acclimatization of the tiny particle to dovetail to the exact biological application [69]. Building…

Below I am discussing, at length why I believe I should receive the Research Plus Award, addressing each point of the Researcher Excellence Framework, giving evidence how the past two and a half years have contributed to my personal and my career development. 1. Knowledge and Intellectual abilities a. Knowledge base Throughout my PhD I have been able to attend a number of courses organised by the QUB postgraduate centre, which allowed me to further my knowledge and gain valuable skills within my…

Introduction The Human Genome Project was a research program that began in 1990 and took 13 years to complete (1). The project was originally funded by the US Department of Energy and the National Institutes of Health. Additionally, many other countries participated, including the UK, Canada, Japan, France, and Germany (1). The overall aim of the Human Genome Project was to completely understand and map out every human gene, the genome (2). The other goals of the program were to determine the…

Since acetic acid is considered a weak acid (strong within the scale of weak acids), there is a range at which the acetic acid and acetate will form a stable buffer. Using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for buffers, it’s possible to calculate the pH based on the ratio of acid to conjugate base, or calculate the ratio given the pH and pKa value. Finding charge on a protonated amine: The pKa value given for the amino group on any amino acid specifically refers to the equilibrium between the…

Sarah Grace Burton and Emily Dickey May 23rd, 2017 Anatomy HN - Vogel 4th Period Atrial Fibrillation Inside of the cardiovascular system, the heart normally has a regular heartbeat that is consistent. But for some people, their heartbeat is quivering and irregular which is called arrhythmia as the atria gets off beat. This rapid, abnormal heart-related condition is called Atrial Fibrillation, or more commonly known as AFib or AF. It can be caused by a variety of things, including…

Society, as a unit, has difficulty in knowing and understanding the rather abstract scientific subjects, and rely on those who take the challenge in transforming it into a popular manner. The sophisticated science reports use a variety of vocabulary unknown to the majority of the populations. Scientific terms and other writing structures specialized in the description of scientific reports make it difficult to understand for beginning scholars who do not have a sufficient amount of background…
