climb‚ the blame can be stress. Or better: a gene that‚ in moments of nervousness‚ responds by releasing protein urocortin 3‚ which increases cravings for sweet and fatty foods‚ and changes the way the body uses insulin‚ a hormone essential in the transformation of sugar energy. The discovery is of Israeli scientists and shows the relationship between stress and anxiety with obesity and diabetes.

Transgenic Animals and Plants What is a transgenic animal/plant? A transgenic animal or plant is one that has a foreign gene (called a "transgene") inserted into its DNA. Transgenic animals and plants are sometimes called "genetically modified organisms" or GMO ’s for short. What is a transgene? A transgene is the foreign gene that has been moved from one organism into a new organism by genetic engineering. For example‚ a bacterial gene that is inserted into a plant ’s DNA would be a

As far as GMO’s in pharmaceuticals and medical research‚ we are now able to clone the genes necessary to create insulin whereas we used to have to harvest it from the pancreas of killed animals. They are also in the process of developing edible vaccines in tomatoes and potatoes to make medicines and vaccines easier to ship‚ store‚ administer‚ and to make them cost

Genetic Manipulation: The Benefits of its Discovery There have been more than 50 biotech foods that have been examined by the FDA and have been found to be as safe as conventional foods. These foods include canola oil‚ corn‚ papaya‚ potatoes‚ and tomatoes. But this is not the only field in which genetic manipulation has been used. Nonscientists tend to believe genetic manipulation is said to be “playing God” but it is a very beneficial science that changed the world. To get a better understanding

The tool is integrated in the EU funded T-IDDM (Telematic management of Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus) project. 1 INTRODUCTION Case-based Reasoning (CBR) [1‚ 2‚ 3] is a problem solving paradigm that utilizes the specific knowledge of previously experienced situations‚ called cases.
