What is metabolism? All living things must have an unceasing supply of energy and matter. The transformation of this energy and matter within the body is called metabolism. Metabolism includes two different types: catabolism and anabolism. Catabolism is destructive metabolism. Typically‚ in catabolism‚ larger organic molecules are broken down into smaller constituents. This usually occurs with the release of energy. Anabolism is constructive metabolism. Typically‚ in anabolism‚ small precursor

Whole30 Challenge The Whole30 diet is a fairly new diet that consists of thirty-days eating high amounts of protein lots of vegetables and some fruit. This diet is supposedly taking people back to their prehistoric roots or “caveman diet.” When planning out your meals the Whole30 states‚ that eating foods with very few ingredients that are pronounceable are better‚ but no ingredients listed at all are best because they’re whole and unprocessed. Also during the thirty-day diet avoid eating added

Running head: METABOLISM Metabolism February 12‚ 2013 Western Governor’s University GRT1 Metabolism Enzymes are molecules that are responsible for chemical reactions that occur within the body. They act as catalyst by accelerating metabolic reactions from the digestion of foods to synthesizing deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). An enzymatic reaction changes substrates‚ the beginning molecule‚ into products. Enzymes are selective for the type of substrate that they will bind to; they have specific

Nursing Management of Patient with Type 1 DM A.R.‚ a 61-year-old female from Project 4 Quezon City with a medical history chronic renal failure‚ The patient was scheduled to have her wound stitches removed. When suddenly she felt dizziness with cold clammy skin and uncontrolled urination. Usually patient with diabetes mellitus complains of dizziness and body weakness. Pathophysiology The symptoms of Type 1 diabetes mellitus are vague and the causes may be related
Premium Diabetes mellitus Insulin
Metformin. Decreasing circulating insulin levels may likely reduce ovarian androgen synthesis. Metformin diminishes glucose intolerance and hyperinsulinemia by increasing insulin sensitivity at the insulin target cells and decreasing hepatic gluconeogenesis and lipogenesis. It can also be used to avoid and control type 2 diabetes mellitus. When all these measures are taken‚ ovulation can be induced

modified. Medications can be prescribed for diabetic patients in order to control their glucose levels. A biguanide known as Metformin is taken to increase hepatic and peripheral insulin sensitivity and decrease glucose production by reducing gluconeogenesis. A sulfonylurea known as Glipizide is taken to stimulate the release of insulin from beta cells in the pancreas‚ reduce glucose from the liver and serum glucagon‚ as well as increase sensitivity of target

hGH - Human Growth Hormone 1. Produced by Anterior Pituitary Gland 2. Targets of hGH are Bone‚ muscle‚ skin‚ adipose tissue and liver 3. Effects of hGH are to promote protein synthesis‚ encourage use of fats for fuel‚ and elevate blood glucose by decreasing uptake and increasing glycogen breakdown 4. Regulation of hGH is hormonal 5. hGH is a protein 6. hGH is water soluble 7. hGH is protein kinase activation 8. Endocrine disorders - Hyper secretion causes Giantism in children and Acromegaly

MUSCLE FATIGUE HOW DO MUSCLES GET THE ENERGY TO WORK? In muscles‚ it is essential that Calcium is present‚ as this gives the muscles the ability to contract and relax. For muscles to contract energy is needed: the energy can only be provided by the breakdown of a chemical called adenosine triphosphate (ATP). As ATP is broken down‚ a phosphate molecule is broken off‚ reducing the phosphate molecules‚ from 3 to 2. This produces adenosine triphosphate. However for the muscles contraction to continue
