Before reading this chapter I have never heard of binge eating disorder before, but I was familiar with anorexia and bulimia. This chapter I learned that this disorder was officially described in 1994, and since then it has become very popular in the older adult population. Binge-eating disorder is defined as a short period where a person uncontrollably consume large amount of food mostly junk or bad foods such as: ice cream, cookies, sweets, potato chips, very unhealthy snacks. according to…

Insulin is a hormone produced and secreted by beta cells in the islets of the pancreas. Insulin is largely involved in metabolism by aiding cells through the body absorb glucose and consume it for energy (Stumvoll and Haeften, 2005). It acts as a “key” by opening up the cells and allowing glucose to be accessible. Generally, normoglycemia, the normal concentration of glucose in the blood, is maintained by the balanced interaction between insulin action and insulin secretion. Essentially, the…

The purpose of this research was to examine the effects of a Paleo diet on blood lipids, including high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, non-HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, total cholesterol, and the ratio between total cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein in a healthy population. The researcher’s hypothesis was that a Paleo dietary intervention made without specific recommendations regarding macronutrient intake would be associated with an increase in low density lipoprotein,…

which means he is obese, his blood pressure is high, high fasting blood glucose suggestive of diabetes possibly type II diabetes, his respiratory rate is high suggestive is difficulty in breathing related to obesity. His Total Cholesterol and Triglycerides levels are high suggestive of hyperlipidemia. He has sleep apnea…

Case Study 1 – Medication errors and strategies for prevention 1A) Factors that can contribute to medication errors may include lack of knowledge, non-adherence or neglect of proper medication protocol and human error due to tiredness and fatigue. According to recent research, inadequate knowledge in pharmacology such as administration routes and dosage calculations was one of the most important reasons for the occurrence of medication errors (Shahrokhi, Ebrahimpour & Ghodousi, 2013). A…

Evaluate the effect oral administration of Bisphenol A on tissue and liver enzymes, serum lipids and blood glucose in rats Abstract: Background and Purpose:Bisphenol A (BPA) is a synthetic compound of carbon with chemical formula is (CH3)2C (C6H4OH) 2 Diphenyl methane derivatives belonging to the group. BPA has harmful effects on mammals.Because of endocrine disrupters can be on serum lipids, tissue and serum liver enzymes and blood sugar affect, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects…

Dyslipidemia is a prominent factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases that are the leading cause of death in the world, with left ventricular hypertrophy being one of these. Changes in the lipid profile are also responsible for the oxidative stress that affects several organs, and the liver is one of the most affected. Such involvement triggers diseases that affect the organ structurally and functionally. Herbal medicines in recent years are emerging as an alternative in the…

same year, Americans ate over 74 pounds of calorie-rich fats and oils. This number is estimated to be even higher in 2016. In the past, high cholesterol has been linked with excess dietary fat consumption, but new studies have shown that elevated triglycerides are not directly from fat. This “bad” cholesterol is actually produced in the liver from consumption of excess sugar…

The (DRI) in regard to (CHO) was to consume between 202.0 - 292.0 g, and I consumed 331.24 g of (CHO). A diet containing too many (CHO) can raise one’s blood level of triglycerides, a type of unhealthy fat that travels to one’s blood, and if left alone, over time this can effect and damage artery walls which can lead to atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular diseases. “In order to decrease my intake of (CHO) I could reduce…

linoleic acid because it contains two double bonds, its chemical equation is, CH3(CH2)4CH=CHCH2CH=CH(CH2)7COOH. When you combine these fatty acids with a glycerol it will create a triglyceride. These triglycerides contain a long chain of fatty acids.“Soaps are sodium or potassium salts of long chain fatty acids. When triglycerides in fat/oil react with aqueous NaOH or KOH, they are converted into soap and glycerol. This is called alkaline hydrolysis of esters” (Saponification-The process of…
