hibernation. Hedgehogs suffer many diseases common to humans. These include cancer‚ fatty liver disease and cardiovascular disease. Cancer is very common in hedgehogs. The most common is squamous cell carcinoma. Squamous cell spreads quickly from the bone to the organs in hedgehogs‚ unlike in humans. Surgery to remove the tumors is rare because it would result in removing too much bone structure. Fatty liver disease is believed by many to be caused by bad diet. Hedgehogs will eagerly eat foods that

3.7.2.1.5 Urea test PRINCIPLE Urea is hydrolyzed in the presence of urease to produce ammonia and CO2. The ammonia produced combines with 2 – oxoglutarate and NADH in the presence of GLDH to yield glutamate and NAD. Urea + H2O + 2H+ 2NH4+ + CO2 NH4+ + 2-Oxoglutarate +NADH H2O +NAD+ + Glutamate The decrease in absorbance due to the decrease of NADH concentration in unit time is proportional to the urea concentration.

EXTRACTING AND PURIFYING GENOMIC DNA FROM A RAT LIVER FOR ELECTROPHORESIS Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a molecule that encodes the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms and many viruses. Along with RNA and proteins‚ DNA is one of the three major macromolecules essential for all known forms of life. Genomic DNA is the DNA that holds the complete set of genetic data for an organism. In humans‚ the genomic DNA spans 46 chromosomes‚ providing a complete

ENG 111 Silent Killer The liver helps digest food‚ absorb nutrients and expel toxins from the body. Recent studies show that one in ten children in US is thought to have a liver disease that was thought to afflict alcoholic adults. The condition has become very common in non-drinkers that it has been dubbed nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Whenever someone gets the disease‚ the organ becomes bloated and discolored due to the fatty cells. This disease is alarming doctors because it progresses

Jeffrey Shenfeld An Experimental and Statistical Analysis of SDH activity as compared in Liver‚ Kidney‚ and Heart Homogenates of the Bos taurus Methods The three tissues being analyzed in this experiment‚ those of the kidney‚ heart and liver‚ were taken from the animal Bos taurus. The tissue homogenates used were made by adding 1 gram of tissue to 20 ml of sucrose phosphate buffer. The buffer was composed of 250 mM sucrose‚ 50 mM NaPO4‚ with a pH of 7.4. This mixture was homogenized with

above a certain point‚ an enzyme can be denatured. Enzyme concentration‚ substrate concentration and inhibitors are other factors affecting enzyme functionality. The substrate in this lab is Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) and the enzyme is catalase in the liver‚ which locates in almost all living organisms and prevents the accumulation of toxic levels of hydrogen peroxide by decomposing hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen. (2 H2O2 → 2 H2O + O2) Purpose To investigate and quantify an enzymatic reaction
