“antibiotics‚ growth hormones‚ or fed animal by products which can increase the risk of Mad Cow Disease and cause the animal to generate antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria”. To clarify Mad Cow Disease‚ scientifically known as bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE)‚ affects the cattle nervous system‚ ultimately causing their brain to go “spongy”. Equally important is how consuming meat from a sick cow can put a human at risk for getting variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD)‚ which has the

The problem was getting the alcohol level in the bovine/porcine insulin extract exactly right so that it would be pure enough and non-toxic for human consumption. They then decided to incorporate the help of James Collip who had a PhD in biochemistry.

the percent bound of BSA-PR at pH 4 (61.543%) was highest compare to other pH. pH 6 has the percent bound of 3.569%‚ pH 8 has the percent bound of 2.330%‚ and pH 10 has the percent bound of 2.309%. pH 6‚ 8‚ and 10 do not have an optimal binding for bovine serum albumin and phenol red because they have very low percent bound (refer to table 1)‚ mostly is the free phenol red. Therefore it matches with the prediction. Moreover‚ there were 2 peaks presented when graphing. Based on the order of elution
