Cholesterol‚ the good‚ the bad and the ugly! Lipids are a forgotten and unreferenced building block in the human body. Why is it when we talk about healthy lifestyles‚ that lipid’s and the major functions it provides for us is not mentioned. Sure some of its lower members are recounted daily like proteins and fats‚ but there is so much more to learn and understand. In the next developing paragraphs I will be discussing and explaining the functionality of lipids‚ fats‚ cholesterol‚ and how it all

Effects of Diet on the Development of Cholesterol Gallstones Hannah Matich BIO 392 Dijkstra Thurs 6PM Lab 3/29/17 1 Gallbladder disease is one of the most common gastrointestinal disorders in developed countries. Gallbladder disease is typically manifested in the form of gallstones or gallbladder cancer. Gallstones affect 10-15% of people in developing countries‚ meaning 20-25 million Americans have or will have gallstones (Stinton and Shaffer‚ 2012). Though mortality rate is low;

BroIn this experiment of the relative rates of free-radical chain bromination‚ we were expected to be able to determine the relative reactivates of the many types of hydrogen atoms involved toward bromine atoms. Bromination is defined to be a regioselective reaction meaning bromine has preference of making or breaking a bond over all other directions that it may have had available. In this case‚ Markovnikov’s rule is revealed to be the case in this situation that states that adding a protic acid

The degradation of cholesterol by Pseudomonas sp. NCIB 10590 under aerobic conditions. 1. R W Owen‚ 2. A N Mason and 3. R F Bilton ABSTRACT The metabolic pathway of cholesterol degradation by bacteria has not been completely established. Several possible intermediates have not been identified and many pathway delineations have not involved the use of the cholesterol molecule per se and just one bacterial species.

1.1 What is Cholesterol? Unsaturated fat: fat or fatty acid in which there is at least one double bond within the fatty acid chain. Saturated fat: Fat that consists of triglycerides containing only saturated fatty acid radicals Trans fat: the common name for unsaturated fat with trans-isomer fatty acid Cholesterol: A compound of the sterol type‚ found in most body tissues and important in metabolism All these things go together because they affect the cholesterol blood level.

Hydrocinnamic acid underwent bromination using N-bromosuccinimide and AIBN. As one lab partner set up the reflux apparatus‚ the other measured the chemicals used in the lab experiment. 2.10 g of hydrocinnamic acid was used. It was observed as white and had a slight cinnamon smell. The amount of NBS was 2.49g and was measured in the fume hood. AIBN was measured at .030 g. 10 mL of acetic acid was also obtained. The reflux apparatus consisted of a 25 mL flask with a stir bar in a water bath. The chemicals

LAB REPORT! EXPERIMENT#5‚6! MANPREET KAUR KHAIRA! LAB PARTNER: VIAN RAIES! The purpose of this lab exercise was to perform the bromination of (E)-1‚2-diphenylethene (trans-stilbene) by addition reaction in which bromine was added across the double bond to yield a vicinal dibromide. The next step was to perform a double elimination reaction by product gained to synthesize an alkyne‚ that is‚ 1‚2-diphenylacetylene. The two major techniques used in this lab were TLC analysis and UV-vis spectroscopy
