Carbohydrates are biological molecules made up of organic substances such as Oxygen, Hydrogen and Carbon (Rapidlearningcenter.com 2015). They normally have a two to one hydrogen to oxygen ratio and can be classified by the empirical formula Cm (H20)n where m and n could be possibly different. Some biologists refer to carbohydrates as hydrates of carbon and they are technically correct. Alternately, there is no possible empirical formula that can describe lipids. Lipid must be identified…

Diabetes is a disease that many people across the world is forced to deal with every day. Today we look at diabetes as a manageable disease however, many people are unaware of just how fatal diabetes actually is. Luckily, we have discovered a hormone called insulin that has provided a treatment for them. People in today’s world has this view of diabetes as being a very manageable disease. This is because, since the nineteenth century when insulin was first discovered, by testing its ability to…

Also, the system of unit (SI) was multiplied by the above value of 0.357 for blood urea nitrogen, 0.02586 of both high/ low density lipoprotein, and 0.01129 for triglycerides. The researchers added 1/5 and 1/10 dilution of the specimen and showed no changes in the TC value. They also used the icteric index to identify the patient’s total amount of bilirubin. Also, lipemic index and the hemolysis index were used during…

Fats or triglycerides are very important macro nutrients found in food, they give important energy for the body to work properly. Part of a good diet is consuming these two essential fatty acids, alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3 fatty acid) and linolenic acid (omega-6 fatty acid). They are indispensable for brain development, control of inflammation and blood clotting. When fats or other lipids are consumed they go undigested until they reach the small intestine. Bile is an emulsifier that breaks…

testing and body measurements (Gabarino & Magnavita, 2015). This testing, included 234 police officers that were examined over a period of 5 years (Gabarino & Magnavita, 2015). Variables measured included blood pressure, waist circumference, triglycerides, body mass index, blood glucose, and HDL-cholesterol levels (Gabarino & Magnavita,…

For more than four decades, coconut oil has had a bad reputation because of its high content in saturated fat. Yet, for thousands of years coconut has been a main part of the islanders' diet in the Tropics and still remains so today. Studies also show lower levels of heart disease and obesity among these populations as well. So why was coconut oil shunned for all of these years? In the 70's and 80's inaccurate studies were done that led to the conclusion that coconut oil was way too high in…

decreased levels of physical activity, and the people at a high risk are those who are overweight, eat unhealthily, and are highly inactive. Osmotic diuresis, a plasma glucose level of more than 200 mg/dL, an HbA1C value of more than 6.5%, and high triglyceride and LDL levels are all associated with diabetes. Patients with prediabetes (a fasting blood glucose level of 100 to 125 mg/dL) are urged to go on a healthier diet and especially increase physical activity because skeletal muscle deals…

Notice: Not a lot of brain cells were damaged in the production of this paper. When this paper first began, I found my opinion about the liver was not the best. I believed that the liver is valuable but only produces waste, which is no fun. However, as I began to research the liver and how it plays a huge part in my daily life it changed my perspective. Most things that humans ingest go through the liver at one point or another. The Liver has the ability to turn ineffective or pointless…

The pesticide that is made by the burnt fossil fuel damages the body because it runs into the groundwater that people drink, allowing pesticide to enter the body harming it and corn has high triglyceride levels that can increase the risk of heart diseases and obesity. Another main use for corn that the author discusses in the article is the beneficial uses of corn. “United States most of the corn we consume is invisible, having been heavily processed…

promotes of amino and glucose acid absorption to various tissues from the blood as well as stimulation of anabolic processes such as glycogen, protein and lipid synthesis, which are stored in muscles and fat tissues. Insulin activates synthesis of triglycerides from free fatty acids. This process happening via two mechanisms; regulation of various lipase enzymes and activation of glucose transport into…
