Sucrose

health factors. Knowing what is okay to consume and not okay is confusing when there is fructose, corn syrup, and HFCS. There are differences between all three. Fructose is a natural sweetener typically found in fruits and vegetables. It is also in sucrose, which is table sugar, and HFCS. Corn syrup is made from corn starch after…

the energy available. They do this without changing the reaction. Without an enzyme, then many chemical reactions may not occur because the activation energy could be too high to be reached without the help of an enzyme. For example, table salt, or sucrose, could sit for years with no occurrence of hydrolysis, but after a few seconds with an enzyme, hydrolysis could easily occur. Enzymes are very specific to its reactant that it reacts on. These specific reactants are called substrates.…

Strong evidence suggests an association between Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and insulin resistance [95]. De la Monte is one of the leaders who proposed the concept of Type 3 Diabetes Mellitus (T3DM) or brain insulin resistance based on experimental studies which demonstrated that brain insulin resistance in Alzheimer patients can be identified as type 3 diabetes (T3DM) [95, 96]. T3DM (brain insulin resistance) has molecular and biochemical features that overlap with both type 1 diabetes (T1DM) and…

We all strive for being the best. So when we hear that supplements can help boost our performance, we of course go and try it without question. We fail to do research on these products that claim to have the “best results” in our performance. These people hiding behind the products are in it for profit and will say whatever to grasp one’s attention. Companies know they are not obligated to provide proof of how effective a product really is. As stated these producers can sugar code it to just…

Carbonated Water water with carbon dioxide, which is a colorless, odorless glass that creates the bubbles characteristic of carbonated drinks. Carbonated water can help speed digestion, which is part of the reason why many people sip soft drinks for relief from stomach aches. DISAD/ SIDE EFFECT 3. Increase the risk of diabetes The high levels of sugar in soda can increase risk of diabetes. 4.Soda can cause osteoporosis( bone loss), damage teeth, kidney damage People who drink soda are at…

Abstract This experiment observed the effects of enzyme’s concentration on the enzyme’s activity. This was determined by measuring the rate of the reaction under different concentration, and see whether the reaction increases when the concentration high or not. The consequences of the experiment indicated that the rate of the reaction of enzyme increases whenever the concentration is high. Also, if the concentration is low, the reaction rate will be low too. Introduction Enzymes are…

Sincere efforts of researchers are underway to understand the functionality of different fats and oils in relation to cookie quality. The quality of cookie primarily relies upon the functionality of fats and oils in cookie system which ultimately is combined result of their physical, chemical and rheological properties. Effects of some major fats and oils such as butter, bakery fat, hydrogenated fat, lard, margarine, palm oil, sunflower oil, coconut oil and soybean oil on the physical and…

does not appear to be the taste receptors are the factors that stimulate this, the uncertainty of this comes from laboratory experiments involving rats. The rats though lacking sweet receptors still developed a strong preference for solutions of sucrose. This is then said to increase psychomotor initiation and conditioned learning through food associated…

SA2 Expected outcomes and potential difficulties. The results of the experiments proposed in SA2 are expected to determine if POMC and AgRP neurons form synapses with MC3R VTA neurons, determine the identity of MC3R-expressing VTA neurons, and to map afferent and efferent projections of VTA MC3R neurons. GABA neurons are the second most numerous neuronal population in the VTA. Therefore, it is expected that a large proportion of TH negative MC3R-expressing VTA neurons will colocalize with GAD67…
