1. Introduction People still die from diabetic ketoacidosis. Poor patient education is probably the most important determinant of the incidence of the catastrophe that constitutes "DKA". In several series‚ only about a fifth of patients with DKA are first-time presenters with recently acquired Type I diabetes mellitus. The remainder are recognised diabetics who are either noncompliant with insulin therapy‚ or have serious underlying illess that precipitates DKA. Most such

Blood lactate profile report Trained -v- Untrained The purpose of this test was to determine individuals‚ (trained and untrained) lactate threshold and subsequently interpret the results. This will allow for a comparison in how training affects the accumulation of blood lactate by using the results from the trained versus the untrained individual. When the rate of lactate production exceeds the rate of uptake‚ lactic acid accumulates in the blood volume‚ and then we see the onset of blood

important to consider (1) exercise intensity (2) duration of drug therapy when evaluating the effects of beta-blockers on exercise metabolism Blood Glucose and Muscle Glycogen • Glycogenolysis in skeletal muscle is mediated by epinephrine via stimulation of beta-2-receptors • Beta-2-blockade impairs mobilization of glycogen stores during exercise‚ producing‚ in turn‚ lower serum glucose values • Muscle glycogenolysis is unaffected by beta-blockade at submaximal exercise‚ but that max glyogenolytic

training and nutrition that can maximize muscle glycogen (carbohydrate) stores prior to endurance competition. This technique use to involve two separate phases‚ the ‘depletion phase’ ran over 3-4 days before being followed by the ‘loading phase’ which also took 3-4 days. But‚ due to ongoing research the ‘depletion phase’ is no longer required. Nowadays 1-4 days of tampered exercise and a high carbohydrate diet is all that is necessary to elevate muscle glycogen to sufficient levels. Failure to carbohydrate

Negative feedback in living organisms Negative feedback is a principle which is used by the body in order to return systems to its normal level; it does this by turning the corrective measures off. Homeostasis uses the principle of negative feedback in order to maintain a constant internal environment. There are a number of different examples of negative feedback such as thermoregulation‚ regulation of blood glucose and the regulation of water potential. The control of the heartbeat can also use

Acid Maltase Deficiency: It is an autosomal recessive disorder‚ in which the defect is in the gene for the acid maltase enzyme‚ which leads to accumulation of glycogen stored in muscles. Glycogen build up‚ weakens the muscles of a patient suffering from this disorder. This may affect respiratory muscles resulting in respiratory failure. It is also known as the Pompe Disease. Although‚ in childhood and adolescence the symptoms show slow progress and are less severe‚ infantile forms cause death within

3A/B PE STUDIES – REVISION NOTES Conservation of linear momentum when both objects are moving * In conservation of linear momentum the momentum of both objects before impact is not lost but remains the same for the combined momentum of both objects after impact. Example When playing snooker‚ once struck‚ the white “cue ball” will contain a certain amount of momentum. This is determined by its mass and how fast its travelling. When this ball makes contact with the black ball the total momentum

The aim of the experiment was to examine the effects of consuming lactate before and during a prolonged exercise. The data shows that the consumption of the lactate actually did work and the performance of the subject was better than the previous three experiments of dieting. This was due to the lactate that was consumed in the CytoMax. Azevedo‚ Tietz‚ Two-Feathers‚ Paull‚ and Chapman (2007) state that CytoMax contains polylactate which speeds up the delivery of substrates and is thought to help

The musculoskeletal system has many functions to it because it is actually two systems that are put together; muscular and skeletal. The organs that are in these systems are skeletal muscles‚ bones (joints‚ tendons‚ and ligaments). By dividing the two systems into different sections‚ it will make it easier for you‚ the reader‚ to understand and make sense of the information. The muscular system functions are to provide movement‚ protects organs‚ and production of heat. There are many muscles that

With obesity becoming nothing short of a pandemic the era of exercise has taken a dramatic shift in recent years. Doctors and other healthcare professionals are beginning to address exercise not only as a science but as a form of “preventative care”. What was once thought only to improve ones speed‚ tackle‚ or jump shot has now been shown to save
