Unsaturated fat

the number of carbon hydrogen bonds by adding hydrogen across a double or triple bond which results in an increase in electron density at the carbon atom. Organic functional groups containing double and triple bonds which undergo reduction are unsaturated. The reduction of the double bond by addition of hydrogen atoms results in the product being fully saturated. Metal hydride reducing agents that have different reactivities toward specific functional groups are commonly used in chemical…

1. Detail the first part of the digestive system from the mouth to the esophagus including the structure and functions of each part. The first part of the digestive system is comprised of the mouth, the pharynx and the esophagus. The mouth is an oral cavity that starts the process of mechanical and chemical digestions when food is received. The mouth is bounded by the cheeks and lips. The mouth contains a soft and hard palate, salivary glands, teeth (crown and dentin) and the tongue (covered…

Carbonyl compounds undergo various types of reaction. In these reaction the carbonyl carbon or carbonyl oxygen is prone to attack generally by a nucleophile. Different types of carbonyl compounds undergo different types of reactions and the mechanisms of them are also different. The products or by-products or intermediate products of these reactions are very much useful in laboratory synthesis, industry etc. here we will discuss some very much important reactions which are very important for…

abilities from movement to acquisition of language.(citation) However, without approximately 2200 calories a day in childhood a long-term mental deficit is developed.(3.6) Furthermore, Anita J. Fugelstad, highlights nutrients such as long chain poly-unsaturated fatty acids, iron, zinc, iodine, and selenium all as playing important roles in developing various parts of the brain.4 The effect of the different aspects of nutrition on neural processes are being explored more and more each day but a…

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…

The number one cause of death in the United States is heart disease. About one million people die from heart disease every year. Heart disease is an umbrella term for a multiple diseases, including arrhythmias, congenital heart diseases, and coronary artery disease. Heart disease includes stroke and other cardiovascular diseases. The most common type of heart disease is coronary heart disease. Almost four hundred thousand individuals will be killed by coronary heart disease each year (The Heart…

layer of the cereal grain and consists of the nucellar epidermis, seed coat, pericarp and aleurone. The aleurone layer consists of heavy walled, cube shaped cells which are composed primarily of cellulose. It is low in starch and high in minerals, fat, and protein. However, due to its thick cellulosic walls, these nutrients are unavailable for digestion in monogastric species. Bran from a wide array of cereal grains have been shown to have an effect on postprandial glucose levels, colon cancer,…

rate of omega-6 over omega-3 fatty acids intake parallels with the increasing incident of Alzhiemer’s disease (AD). Diets rich in omega-3 (n-3) fatty acids may be protective in cognitive decline diseases, specifically AD. Omega-3 fatty acids are unsaturated fatty acids with a carbon-carbon double bond from the methyl end (n-3). Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) is the parent omega-3 acid. ALA becomes desaturated by a sequence of metabolic steps to form eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and decosahexaenoic…

Application of Biofloc technology in aquaculture systems; a viewpoint Anjali P. Thilakan1*,Manju Lekshmi. N2.,Sreekanth.G.B2, N. P. Singh2 1Central Institute of Fisheries Education, Andheri (W), Mumbai 2ICAR Central Coastal Agricultural Research Institute, Ela, Old Goa . Abstract Bioflocs are aggregates (flocs) of algae, bacteria, proto¬zoans, and other kinds of particulate organic matter such as feces and uneaten feed and it normally contains 35-40% of protein. Biofloc technology ensures…

QUESTIONS 1. Discuss the pathophysiology of coronary artery atherosclerosis. Include discussion of risk factors associated with the development of this disease. (10 points) Coronary artery atherosclerosis is most commonly comprised of atherosclerotic fibrous fatty obstructions of the large epicardial vessels, which provide for blood flow and transport nutrients, oxygen, and elimination of metabolic waste products such as CO2, lactic acid, and hydrogen ions. Coronary artery atherosclerosis…
