Trypsin

Discoveries of new and unexplored animals pose a challenge to Zoological nutritionists and veterinarians. Charged with the task of formulating a diet for an animal for whom they have no concrete nutritional information, professionals have to develop innovative ways to extrapolate what they know about existing domesticated animals’ diets and digestive tracts and apply it to exotic animals. Such an approach can be very helpful in the case of the okapi. Okapia johnstoni, commonly known as the…

this specifically neutralises the acid chyme produced by the stomach. The chyme is blended with pancreatic enzymes, and molecules are absorbed into the enterocytes, proteins are broken up by pepsin from gastric glands and then further broken down by trypsin, chymotrypsin, elastase and carboxypeptidases. Carbohydrates are hydrolysed by amylases and membrane bound enzymes convert sugars to monosaccharides. Lipids are emulsified in the stomach and then further emulsified in the duodenum by…

Plants have major role in changing the life of human civilization both for health as well as quality life from ancient times. Since inception of knowledge about the usefulness, out of 258,650 species of higher plants 10% are considered to be useful for curing the diseases. (Shinwari 2010). From the human civilization different systems of treatments like Ayurveda, Unani, Naturopathy, Sidha, Homeopathy and many more have been devised ; but the source almost remain same i.e., medicinal plants for…

INTRODUCTION Amaranth is a pseudo cereal which is a good source of dietary nutrients. For innovating new product by using the grains of amaranth, which will increases the utilization. Leaves of amaranth plants are used as leafy vegetable, in other hand seeds as cereals (Saunders and Becker 1984). Amaranth is rich in high quality protein. Some studies say that because of the presence of the presence of calcium, phosphorous, potassium, iron etc it is also having neautracitical property. It also…

Nanoparticles (NPs) have piqued the interest of scientists because of their distinct physical, chemical and biological properties when compared to bulk material. These differences in characteristics can be attributed to the high surface-to-volume ratio (SA:V) of NPs compared to bulk material. Since NPs have a higher SA:V than bulk material, they are more reactive than their bulk counterparts; therefore, the surface characteristics of NPs can be easily manipulated. (Xuefei et al, 2014) Metal NPs…

Introduction Sold commercially under the tradename Sevin, carbaryl (C12H11NO2) is an insecticide that is commonly applied to corn, soybean, and cotton (EPA, 2000). It is a cholinesterase inhibitor that kills insects by preventing the breakdown of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter. Neurons are stimulated when they release acetylcholine and transmit a message to the next neuron (Waymire, n.d.). However, in order for a neuron to return to its initial, unstimulated state, the acetylcholine in its…

INTRODUCTION Cancer can be defined as a special kind of illness that occurs when the cells in a given part of a body begin to grow out of proportion than is normal. Currently, in the United States, this disease is the second leading cause of deaths. Human beings over the history have had tumors and remedies have been implemented, and others continue to be performed and studied over time (American Cancer Society, 2010). These methods of treatment include chemo-preventive methods and of late…
