In chemistry‚ an alcohol is an organic compound in which the hydroxyl functional group (-OH) is bound to a carbon atom. In particular‚ this carbon center should be saturated‚ having single bonds to three other atoms.[1] An important class of alcohols are the simple acyclic alcohols‚ the general formula for which is CnH2n+1OH. Of those‚ ethanol (C2H5OH) is the type of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages‚ and in common speech the word alcohol refers specifically to ethanol. Other alcohols are usually

These enzymes were tested in three fractions which were obtained from a chicken liver cell namely the nuclei which contains the nucleus‚ microsome which contain the mitochondrion and other membrane bound organelles that are part of the endomembrane system and lastly the soluble which consists of the other organelles not mentioned above and different proteins. APDE‚ peroxidase and mitochondrial dehydrogenase were all incubated at 37 degrees Celsius

The AA supplementation was found to improve recovery. Forms of muscle damage have been caused by exercise which indicators include increases in creatine kinase (CK) and Lactate Dehydrogenase (LD or LDH) levels. According to studies‚ there were some major decreases in creatine kinase‚ and lactate Dehydrogenase values‚ with a deferred onset of muscle tenderness after exercising‚ when supplemented with the branch -chained Amino Acids (Nemet & Eliakim‚ 2007). During exercise vital AA’s were

ethanol molecules are distributed evenly to all of the tissues and fluids of the body. The alcohol present in the bloodstream is metabolized by the liver through three pathways. The major pathway involves an enzyme of the cytosol‚ hepatic alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH). This enzyme assists in converting ethanol alcohol into acetaldehyde and free radicals. The two accessory pathways use to catalyze ethanol into acetaldehyde are the microsomal P-450 pathway and the catalase. The microsomal P-450 pathway is

What is Krebs cycle? The Krebs cycle‚ also known as the Citric Acid cycle‚ is a very important process in cellular respiration. Without this portion‚ respiration would not be possible. This is because the Krebs cycle uses the pyruvate molecules from glycolysis to produce high energy molecules essential for the electron transport chain (ETC) which follows soon after. Described by Hans Adolf Krebs in 1937 A feature of cell chemistry shared by all types of life. A complex series of reactions beginning

this fermentation process‚ this device was used for the characterization of the oxidation pattern of different strains. G. oxydans NCIMB 8084 forms 2‚5-diketogluconate from d-glucose in a multi-stage process via three different membrane-bound dehydrogenases. This strain was chosen for a scale-up of the process from shakingflasks to a 2-l stirred vessel. An enhancement of 2‚5diketogluconate production was realized by controlling the pH at different levels during the fermentation. Introduction

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to gain an understanding about what alcohol is‚ how alcohol is produced‚ the metabolic processes involved with the breakdown of alcohol in the body and the enzymes that catalyze these reactions and how these biochemical reactions affect the liver and brain and the effects of alcohol on the human body. Introduction A good deal of the population consume alcohol‚ some more than others. The effects of alcohol consumption on the human body affects mainly the
