Problem Set 1 1. Explain lipoprotein physiology and metabolism (Chapter 15). - Lipoproteins are a biochemical formation that aid with the transporting of lipids. The four major pathways include Lipid absorption pathway‚ exogenous pathway‚ endogenous pathway and reverse cholesterol transport pathway. All of these pathways are dependent on a particular particle know as apo-B that contains lipoproteins which‚ functions as a transport for dietary and Hepatic lipids to the outer layers of the cells

2010 Abstract Diabetes is a disease that affects currently 23.6 million people‚ about 7.8% of the population. Diabetes comes from a high level of sugar in the blood for a long period of time. Ways to control it are by diet‚ exercise‚ medicine and insulin injections.

refers to the overproduction of urine known as polyuria. Mellitus comes from the Latin word mel (honey) and describes the sweet odor of the urine. Diabetes occurs when the beta cells of the pancreas fail to produce or secrete an adequate amount of insulin. Diabetes also effects the vascular and nervous system. In order to understand diabetes‚ it is important to understand how we normally metabolize food. Our bodies are composed of millions of cells‚ and in order to function‚ these cells must create

Tuesday. Question 1 Define DKA Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is caused by an extreme deficiency of insulin and presents as hyperglycaemia‚ ketosis‚ acidosis and dehydration. DKA is more likely to occur with type 1 diabetes although in times of severe illness or stress type 2 diabetics can also develop this condition. Episodes of DKA usually occur in those with illness‚ infection‚ inadequate insulin dosage‚ before the person is aware that they have type 1 diabetes‚ or poor self-care. Impending or

coronary artery disease‚ stroke‚ and type 2 diabetes. The primary components include insulin resistance‚ obesity‚ dyslipidemia‚ hypertension and central obesity. The two most important risk factors for metabolic syndrome are extra weight around the middle and upper parts of the body (central obesity). This is when the body may be described as "apple-shaped”‚ as well as insulin resistance‚ in which the body cannot use insulin effectively. Other risk factors include: aging‚ genes that make you more likely

The hypoglycaemic and antihyperglycaemic effects of methanol extract of the leaves of Cleome rutidosperma (Cr) DC (Family: Capparidaceae) was investigated in Wistar rats. Fifty normoglycaemic male rats (120g-200g) were divided into groups A (hypoglycaemic study; n=20) and B (antihyperglycaemic study; n=30). The studies had one control group and three groups administered with Cr (100‚ 200 or 400mg/kg) respectively. Group B had two additional groups of diabetic-untreated rats and glibenclamide-treated
