In the quest to combat pre-diabetes‚ a lifestyle disease that he was diagnosed with‚ Professor Tim Noakes embarked on and advocated for a Low Carbohydrate High Fat diet. The aim of the LCHF diet is to achieve a nutritional balance of 5% carbohydrates‚ 60-70% fats and 20-30% protein‚ and claims to control insulin levels resulting in weight loss‚ body weight control and prevent insulin resistance. The control of insulin levels and the hindrance of insulin resistance are of great importance since if

Estimation of protein concentration Introduction Protein assays are designed to measure the total protein in a solution. Protein assays are quantitative if the protein to be assayed is available in sufficient quantity such that one is able to use it to create a standard curve. If this cannot be achieved‚ then a standard protein‚ such as albumin‚ may be used for a standard curve with the understanding that the results on the unknown protein are semi-quantitative. Since most proteins are not available

Through this investigation we found no effect in carbohydrate mouth rinsing on exercise performance. On the contrary to our hypothesis‚ there was no significant difference in distance cycled between those who carbohydrate mouth rinsed and the control (Fig. 1.). In addition‚ we also found that there was no significant difference in HR throughout the entire investigation between treatment groups (Fig. 2.). These exercise performance results is inconsistent with those results obtained by Carter et

EXPERIMENT NO. 15 PROTEIN CHARACTERIZATION BY ELECTROPHORESIS Abstract The molecular weights of protein extracts were assessed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Two sets of four protein samples‚ standard bovine serum albumin (BSA)‚ invertase‚ egg albumin‚ and casein‚ were prepared; one set containing β-mercaptoethanol (BME) while the other did not. These were then analyzed through SDS-PAGE with 12.5% resolving gel‚ prepared using 2 M Tris-HCl at pH 8
