Citric acid cycle From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation‚ search [pic] [pic] Overview of the citric acid cycle The citric acid cycle — also known as the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA cycle)‚ the Krebs cycle‚ or the Szent-Györgyi-Krebs cycle‚ [1][2] — is a series of enzyme-catalysed chemical reactions‚ which is of central importance in all living cells that use oxygen as part of cellular respiration. In eukaryotic cells‚ the citric acid cycle occurs in the matrix of the mitochondrion

ENZYMOLOGY DISORDERS OF METABOLISM By Wieslaw Faliszewski Our cells are using various types of substances in order to perform their functions. They also use them as a source of energy to perform all the required tasks. Some of those compounds come from the outside in the form of consumed food; others are synthesized in our body. Majority of those compounds have to be broken into simpler parts that can be used in different metabolic processes. The problem is‚ however‚ that most of the

Introduction to Diabetes Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by high blood sugar (glucose) levels that result from defects in insulin secretion‚ or its action‚ or both. Diabetes mellitus‚ commonly referred to as diabetes was first identified as a disease associated with "sweet urine‚" and excessive muscle loss in the ancient world. Elevated levels of blood glucose (hyperglycemia) lead to spillage of glucose into the urine‚ hence the term sweet urine. Normally‚ blood

1. Introduction People still die from diabetic ketoacidosis. Poor patient education is probably the most important determinant of the incidence of the catastrophe that constitutes "DKA". In several series‚ only about a fifth of patients with DKA are first-time presenters with recently acquired Type I diabetes mellitus. The remainder are recognised diabetics who are either noncompliant with insulin therapy‚ or have serious underlying illess that precipitates DKA. Most such
