Diseases that are caused by the lack of some particular nutrient in a person’s diet are called deficiency diseases. Nutritional diseases are diseases in humans that are directly or indirectly caused by a lack of essential nutrients in the diet. Nutritional diseases are commonly associated with chronic malnutrition. Additionally‚ conditions such as obesity from overeating can also cause‚ or contribute to‚ serious health problems. Excessive intake of some nutrients can also cause acute poisoning 1

TESTOSTERONE DEFICIENCY IN MALES Testosterone is a hormone which is produced in the testes and is responsible for male characteristics‚ such as facial hair‚ deepening of voice‚ and muscle mass. As men age and hit age 30‚ their testosterone levels drop causing metabolic changes. Because of low testosterone levels‚ men will gain weight‚ lose muscle mass‚ and lose sexual drive. If you suspect that your testosterone level is low‚ there are some things that you should consider. First‚ and most

Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is an enzyme involved in producing energy after the body has lost access to oxygen. LDH produces energy by helping to catalyze the reaction of NADH to NAD+ and does so by oxidation using pyruvate (1). LDH is found in highest concentrations in the heart‚ kidneys‚ lungs‚ blood cells and muscle tissues. Increases in LDH levels in the body have shown to be a marker of pain severity. This is because of tissue damage is the primary source of increasing LDH in the body. Thus

Isolation‚ Expression and Cloning of Lactate Dehydrogenase Gene from Lactobacillus bulgaricus Lactobacillus bulgaricus is used for industrial production of yogurt mainly because of his fermentative capability. In this experiment‚ the gene encoding the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase [ldhA] from the bactaria was isolated and cloned. The expressed ldhA gene was inserted into pET28b plasmid vector. The resulting recombinant pET28b-LdhA expression vector was then transformed after introduction into E.

Succinate dehydrogenase is an enzyme of the tricarboxylic acid cycle and is found in mitochondria. Succinate dehydrogenase is very stable and is found at high concentration only in the mitochondrion of eukaryotes. It can be easily used as a marker enzyme for mitochondria and we used it to estimate the realative amounts of mitochondira in…Jacob and Monod used the lactose metabolism system of Escherichia Coli (E. Coli) to better understand the problem of enzyme induction‚ the occurrence of a particular

Exercise 1: Alcohol Dehydrogenase (ADH) Reaction Bich 413 section 508 Abstract The Alcohol Dehydrogenase Reaction in Oxidized Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide. The oxidation-reduction of Nicotinamide adenine Dinucleotides (NADH) are very Important reaction in the biological system. When the Oxidized Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) is react with a alcohol‚ catalyze by Alcohol Dehydrogenase (ADH)‚ the result products are NADH‚ H+‚ and aldehyde.In the biological system‚ the

Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) is an cytosolic enzyme that participates in anaerobic glycolysis. LDH couples the reduction of pyruvate into lactic acid to the oxidation of NADH to NAD+‚ which allows glycolysis to continue to produce ATP in the absence of oxygen. LDH is a tetramer‚ a protein complex of 4 polypeptide subunits‚ composed either a subunit expressed strongly in the heart‚ H type‚or a subunit that is highly expressed in the muscle‚ M type. There are 5 isozymes of LDH composed the 2 subunit

PITUITARY HORMONE DEFICIENCY | | Genetic Forms of Multiple Pituitary Hormone Deficiency. | | Quite a few genes involved in embryonic development are candidates to explain multiple pituitary hormone deficiency (MPHD) (Chapter 550). There are several distinctive heritable forms of MPHD. Mutations of transcription factor genes that are only expressed in the anterior pituitary lead to simple phenotypes with varying combinations of anterior pituitary hormone deficiencies. Mutations of
