LD+n-3‚ and LD+UDCA. It was also found that a LD resulted in hypertrophy of the gallbladder but when n-3 PUFA was added to the LD hypertrophy was suppressed. N-3 PUFA was shown to return gallbladder walls to their original state after the mucosal epithelium of gallbladder walls showed hypertrophic changes due to LD. A second factor examined in the study was levels of mucin mRNA. Excess levels of mucin are shown to increase likelihood of gallbladder disease. After n-3 PUFA treatment there was a significantly

The human eye and a camera lens have a few things in common most notably that they both use a converging lens to receive and project images. But human eyes and camera lenses have many things that set them apart from each other. “Retina Provides Color • the image an eye perceives is projected from the cornea to the retina‚ which absorbs the image and projects it to the brain. A camera projects an image on to film where it is captured and saved as a black and white image. The retina contains millions

Sea urchins are members of the phylum Echinodermata‚ which also includes sea stars‚ sea cucumbers‚ brittle stars‚ and crinoids. Like other echinoderms‚ they have five-fold symmetry (called pentamerism) and move by means of hundreds of tiny‚ transparent‚ adhesive "tube feet". The symmetry is not obvious in the living animal‚ but is easily visible in the dried test. Echinodermate means "spiny skin" in Greek. Specifically‚ the term "sea urchin" refers to the "regular echinoids"‚ which are symmetrical

Microscopically‚ the papilloma consists of proliferation of ductal epithelium rested on fibrovascular stroma. Epithelial component consist of cuboidal to columnar cells without pleomorphism‚ nuclear atypia or mitotic figures. Myoepithalial layer is also preserved. Some papillomas have more complex structure accompanied

Pertussis‚ also known as whooping cough‚ is a highly contagious respiratory tract infection of humans that is caused by a gram-negative bacterial pathogen Bordetella pertussis. These bacteria bind to ciliated cells that line the respiratory tract by obstructing their ciliary movement and killing the cells. B. pertussis can be transmitted from one person to another through respiratory droplets such as coughing‚ sneezing‚ or sharing a breathing space. B.pertussis host range can be found only in humans

Give an account of nitrogenous excretion in mammals. Excretion plays an important part in the process by which the internal environment is regulated to maintain homoeostasis. It is the elimination of the unwanted products of metabolism and of substances present in excess within the organism. Animals excrete nitrogenous waste products such as ammonia‚ uric acid or urea. These or similar products to that produced by the deamination of any excess protein that has been eaten as nitrogenous compounds
