the ApoE2, ApoE3, and ApoE4 isoforms (Mahley and Rall, 2000). The most common isoform is ApoE3, which is considered the normal isoform for the known physiology of APOE. APOE plays a role in transporting and metabolizing plasma cholesterol and triglycerides by interacting with low density lipoproteins and their respective receptors. (Han et al., 2003). In the central nervous system ApoE that is mainly synthesized in astrocytes, aids in the transportation and redistribution of lipids and…

juice and sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO3. Pancreatic juice contains three hydrolytic enzymes: Pancreatic amylase, which breaks down carbohydrates into disaccharides, Trypsin, which breaks down proteins into polypeptides, and Lipase, which breaks down triglycerides into fatty acids and glycerol. NaHCO3 neutralizes the acid chyme entering the duodenum from the stomach giving the small intestine a basic pH which is necessary for enzymes to function or else they will denature. Here is where the…
