Exploring enzymes through Lactex. Problem: Does pH affect the results of Lactex? Independent Variable: pH value Dependent Variable: Glucose Control: Lactex enzyme Hypothesis: I think pH will cause the result of Lactex to change. Materials: · Soap (basic) · Antacid (basic) · Soda (acidic) · Vinegar (acidic) · pH test strips · eye dropper · Cow’s milk Experimental Design: 1. Set up plastic cups 2.
Lactase is effective at pH 2 – 7 (including dH2O) and therefore breaks down the lactose sugar in milk into glucose and galactose. As a result, the test strips will turn a shade of brown. . Lactase is not effective at pH 10 – 12. At the high pHs, the enzyme lactase is denatured and is no longer able to break down the sugar lactose in milk.
If this fails, a pancrelipase and sodium bicarbonate solution may be instilled in order to "digest" the clog. Metabolic complications: Metabolic complications of enteral nutrition are similar to those that occur during PN, although the incidence and severity may be less. Careful monitoring can minimize or prevent metabolic complications. Refeeding syndrome: Refeeding of severely malnourished patients may result in "refeeding syndrome" in which there are acute decreases in circulating levels of potassium, magnesium, and phosphate. The sequel of refeeding syndrome adversely affect nearly every organ system and include cardiac dysrhythmias, heart failure, acute respiratory failure, coma, paralysis, nephropathy, and liver dysfunction.
Our bodies can only store and utilize so much sugar so we need to be aware if we are overloading our bodies with it. If our blood glucose levels begin to fall we will feel dizzy or lightheaded signaling that we need to eat to maintain this balance. It also important to recognize in my family’s case that eating too much sugar can also make us feel tired because our cells are not getting the proper nourishment from glucose. By using the knowledge I have learned from the importance of maintaining a good blood glucose balance I can teach myself, my mother, and my daughters on the importance of a proper
This assignment will evaluate the importance of homeostasis in maintaining a healthy functioning of the body. If homeostasis did not work properly in the body then there are many problems that could arise. Diabetes is one of those problems: Diabetes Diabetes is “a permanent change in your internal chemistry that results having too much glucose in your blood” because the body cannot use it properly. (Rudy, 1999, Page 10) Glucose comes from digesting carbohydrates and is also produced by the liver, carbohydrate comes from many different kinds of foods and drink, such as Wholegrain cereals such as Weetabix and Shredded Wheat, Brown rice, Pasta and Potatoes. “Diabetes can be tackled in different ways- by insulin and diet” (Rudy, 1999, page 19) Diet, when someone had diabetes it is best for their health to cut right down on the unhealthy foods, and stick to the health foods, this is due to the effectiveness of the medication you are on.
Aldolase B is considered the chief aldolase isoenzyme that is responsible for fructose metabolism and gluconeogenesis within the liver. This is turn, produces fructose 1,6-biphosphate from the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate. When fructose is ingested, the body cannot change its energy storage substance glycogen to glucose. When glucose builds up in the liver, the blood sugar falls resulting in hypoglycemia. (PubmedHealth, 2009) Fructose 1 phosphate which is the substrate of Aldolase B is split by Aldolase.
There are not available any diagnostic tests or procedures to help catch this disease early. Yet, there are a few current theories that explain the cause of MS such as interaction of environmental and genetic factors. These factors are geographical, genetic, viral, infective and maybe related to a shortage of vitamin D (D’Arcy, 2012). Multiple sclerosis affects approximately 400,000 people in the United States, more than 50,000 people in Canada, and 2.5 people million worldwide. Multiple sclerosis is at least two to three times more common in women than in men, which suggests that hormones may play a vital role in determining an individual’s susceptibility (Miller, D. H. et all 2008).
Tell your doctor about all medications you use. This includes prescription, over the counter, vitamin and herbal products. 9. ALLI, Xenical; orlistat; Alli blocks some of the fat that you eat, keeping it from being absorbed by your body and helps you lose weight. Alli is used together with a reduced-calorie diet and weight maintenance to treat obesity in people with certain risk factors such as dabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
Therefore breast feeding was highly encouraged to decrease DVT’S or what was considered “milk leg”. Etiology: (description of the cause of the disease, what organs/tissue are affected, what happens to the normal physiology (pathophysiology)?) Deep Vein is mainly caused by a combination of the slowing of the blood and increased clotting in the blood, although there are other factors that can cause clotting such as trauma. Rudolf Virchow (1821-1902) came up with Virchow’s Triad which includes Hypercoagulability (increased clotting), Hemodynamic Changes (slowing of the blood), and Endothelial injury/dysfunction (trauma). It occurs more in males than women and in those 60 years of age and older.
It is linked with obesity, lack of exercise, High blood cholesterol and High blood pressure. What are the symptoms and complications of Diabetes Type II? Symptoms of diabetes type II include frequent urination, increased hunger and weight loss. One of the complications of diabetes include ten year shorter life span, due to the number of complications which it is associated with,
