Hydrogenation also extends the shelf life of these fatty acids, and preserves them through better stabilization. “When the hydrogen’s are on opposite sides of the double bond, called the trans configuration, the fatty acid is a trans fatty acid.” (Grosvenor & Smolin, 2006) Trans fatty acids can increase your risk of heart disease. Saturated and trans fats are considered the worst for your health due to the proven increased risk of cardiovascular disease, including stroke, and high cholesterol levels according to the American Heart Association (2010). Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats are better for your diet, and contain some of the best fatty acids, Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. These lipids can actually help reduce your risk of heart disease, and cholesterol related health
Understand Your Fats and Fibers SCI 241 April 24, 2014 Understand Your Fats and Fibers There are healthy and unhealthy fats such as monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats are known as the “good fats” because they are good for your heart, your cholesterol, and your overall health. Tran’s fats, and Saturated fats, are used in the manufacture of food to help it stay fresh longer. They are known as “bad fats” because they increase your risk of disease and elevate cholesterol. Saturated fats and Tran’s fat raise the cholesterol in the human body. Saturated fats are fats that consist of triglycerides containing only saturated fatty acids.
B: Ingestion of an acidifying drug in this case is to blame. With the introduction of Topamax to Mary’s system, the Topamax begins to inhibit her renal carbonic anhydrase causing metabolic acidosis. 9. B: IV of HCO3- in isotonic solution is the best option and my recommendation. Even with the carbonic anhydrase being inhibited and causing metabolic acidosis, direct injection
Removing VLCSFA from the diet eliminates any external contribution to the total VLCSFA blood level. Lorenzo’s Oil, made of monounsaturated fatty acids (good fatty acids), causes Competitive Inhibition to occur. The same enzyme complex that elongates fatty acid chains becomes occupied with the production of monounsaturated fatty acids. The enzyme complex cannot produce both types of fatty acids simultaneously. Therefore the two kinds of fatty acids compete for same enzyme complex; however, monounsaturated fatty acids are formed in greater concentration than VLCSFA.
Instead, try some changes to your diet to include some of these stress-reducing foods. Stress-Reducing Foods Foods rich in vitamin B. These include oatmeal, lentils, chickpeas, quinoa, brown rice and other whole grains. Foods high in vitamin B have a calming effect on the body, helping to melt away feelings of stress and anxiety and enhance your mood. Foods rich in vitamin C. Citrus fruits, red peppers, spinach
They tend to be high in total fat, especially saturated animal fat, which has been linked to heart disease, cancer, and perhaps even MS. The low-carb craze also restricts fruits, vegetables and whole grains. This can result in deficiencies of valuable vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, antioxidants and fiber. All of these are important to long-term good
* Arteriosclerosis: Regularly consuming vitamin C retards the development of hardening of the arteries. * Cataracts: The natural vitamin A from beta-carotene in this fruit lowers the risk of cataract and generally helps improve your vision too. So remember next time you go to the grocery store, pick up a cantaloupe. Not only will it provide you with adequate nutrients that keep you healthy, but also help while you are on a diet to ensure that you lose weight but do not suffer from nutrition deficiency.
Hydrogen peroxide is a poisonous chemical to all living things. Catalase converts H 2O 2into 2 separate harmless substances, water and oxygen. In this experiment we will be testing the effects of temperature, pH and substrate concentration on Catalase. The optimum pH of catalase is 7 and its optimum temperature is 37 degrees. Aim: To test the effect of change in pH, Temperature and substrate concentration on catalase in liver Hypothesis: we predict the enzyme will have its greatest reaction when it is in its optimum temperature, pH and substrate concentration Risk assessment: * Wear gloves when handling raw liver.
Fats containing unsaturated fatty acids are liquid at room temperature such as ground-nut oil, musturd oil etc, Proteins- The proteins are highly complex organic compounds of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. Proteins are made up of nitrogen containing compounds called amino acids, Proteins are very Important for the growth and repair of the body. Kwashiorkar is a disease which occurs due to the deficiency of proteins In the diet of children. Whereas Marasmus occurs in the Infants (small children) due to the deficiency of proteins, Minerals- The metals, non-metals and their salts are called minerals. Our body needs minerals for its proper
Vitamin C When you’re under extreme stress, you secrete more cortisol hormone. Vitamin C helps balance the cortisol spikes that happen to you under this stress. Besides being a good way to counteract a cold, Vitamin C is also essential for making carnitine, a compound used by the body to turn fat into fuel, making this vitamin your fat burning friend.If you’re going through an emotional crisis, stress from work, or a bad eating splurge, increase your vitamin C–it’ll help counteract the negative side effects. Try bell peppers, kale or kiwi fruits. These have even more Vitamin C than the famous Orange!
