Introduction Determining the concentrations of proteins is necessary for a variety of different reasons. For example, protein concentration must be known in order for proteins to be used in enzyme reactions, as the correct stoichiometry must be known. Another example is protein purification; during protein purification the quantity of protein present must be known to determine the yield1. The quantification of proteins is determined by methods known as protein assays. There are different…

Further evidence for the in-vivo anti-inflammatory activity of Nasturtium officinale Abstract: Ethnopharmacological relevance: Aerial parts of Nasturtium officinale R. Br. are used traditionally in Iran as a folk medicine in different illnesses which include bronchitis, asthma, diabetes, hypertension, and renal colic. Aim of the study: In the present study, the anti-inflammatory activity of hydro-alcoholic extract from aerial parts of N. officinale was investigated in acute and sub¬¬-acute…

two mice hearts were sacrificed and transferred to a flat-bottomed 2 mL centrifuge tube. The hearts were minced with surgical scissors after 500 µL isolation buffer (50 mL sucrose, 200 mM mannitol, 5 mM KH2PO4, 1 mM EGTA, 5 mM MOPS, 0.1% bovine serum albumin, pH to 7.3) was added to the tube (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). The minced heart solution was then homogenized using a Polytron PT 1200 E homogenizer 2-3 times for approximately 10-15 seconds each. After adding 1 mL protease buffer…

Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is the body’s main source of chemical energy. It is produced by breaking down nutrients such as glucose, fatty acids and proteins, which are all found in food. At the start of the race, anaerobic pathways are used to provide a quick source of energy. Most of this energy is derived from the catabolism of fats. Since lipids are more reduced than carbohydrates, they are capable of storing more energy per unit weight. Triacylglycerols are the lipids used for energy…

Shroud of Turin Project. Each member of the team worked days and nights in order to figure out if the shroud contained any blood. The results are striking. Their team of thirty-three members claimed to have found hemoglobin and a positive test for serum albumin. These results do not prove anything, as it is really unsure how the picture is able to remain on the shroud. To them, the shroud is just a mystery. Many of the Vatican’s did not want the testing to stop. By 1988, a carbon-14 test was…

(Rot) to Lewis rats reproduces many symptoms of Parkinson disease. Rot (3 mg/kg/day) was once placing subcutaneously to male Lewis rats for 6 days for the utilization of Alzet minipumps. Control rats obtained the auto only. If we found 0.1% bovine serum albumin for the period of the isolation approach truly remove rotenone sure to the mitochondria. Therefore, every effective change that is observed have been aftereffects of rotenone toxicity in vivo. In Rot rat intelligence mitochondria…

National Library of Medicine, 2016). Included in a CMP are lab values which are useful in diagnosing conditions such as diabetes, liver disease, and kidney disease. Dr. Andre Kalil states regular CMP assessments should be carried out by measuring serum levels of electrolytes, including magnesium, calcium, phosphate, and glucose. Sodium and chloride levels are abnormal in patients suffering from severe dehydration. Studies have also shown higher mortality rates in hyperglycemic patients. So…

for 30 min at room temperature. Then, trypsin/chymotrypsin- digested samples of KPNB1 obtained from the UV-crosslinking experiments with various concentrations of compound 1 were analyzed by nanoflow liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry. The tandem mass spectra of the trypsin/chymotrypsin-digested KPNB1-compound 1 adducts showed 10 peptides coupled to compound 1 (Table S1, the Supplementary Information). Among these adducts, we found that the amounts of three of the products,…

GMO Title As we sit down to eat our lunch, we pause and consider the contents of our meal. In 1990, the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act passed to include the nutritional value of our food. Yet, when examining the label there is no information on whether the ingredients have been genetically engineered. GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) have been integrated in our foods for over 20 years (McLure). Since the sale of genetically modified tomatoes which were approved by the FDA in 1994, the…

Diabetes Mellitus is a hormonal disorder of the pancreas. Diabetes Mellitus is a lifelong metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from a lack of insulin, which requires lifestyle and behavioral changes. There are three types of diabetes, Type 1 and Type 2 that are separate and distinct pathophysiological entities, and Gestational Diabetes. According to Kowalski (2012 p.1294) “Type 1 Diabetes results from destruction of the pancreatic beta cells because the beta cells of the…
