The hypoglycaemic and antihyperglycaemic effects of methanol extract of the leaves of Cleome rutidosperma (Cr) DC (Family: Capparidaceae) was investigated in Wistar rats. Fifty normoglycaemic male rats (120g-200g) were divided into groups A (hypoglycaemic study; n=20) and B (antihyperglycaemic study; n=30). The studies had one control group and three groups administered with Cr (100‚ 200 or 400mg/kg) respectively. Group B had two additional groups of diabetic-untreated rats and glibenclamide-treated

The key words used when researching this review: Neonatal hypoglycaemia/hypoglycemia‚ New-born hypoglycaemia‚ Low plasma glucose level‚ New-born/Infant low blood sugar‚ Hypoglycaemia in preterm/high risk neonates‚ Hypoglycaemia/breastfeeding‚ gluconeogenesis/ketone bodies. The databases and search engines used: Google scholar‚ CINHAL and Medline. Hypoglycaemia is common among neonates‚ therefore Healthcare professionals must be aware of the risk factors that predispose infants‚ allowing for early

transfer disorders are commonly responsible. Overproduction of lactate also occurs with cyanide poisoning or certain malignancies. Underutilization involves removal of lactic acid by oxidation or conversion to glucose. Liver disease‚ inhibition of gluconeogenesis‚ pyruvate dehydrogenase (thiamine) deficiency‚ and uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation are the most common causes. The kidneys also contribute to lactate removal. Concerns have been raised regarding the role of metformin in the production

HOW MUSCLES GET THE ENERGY THEY NEED TO WORK 1) Muscle needs energy to contract and as stated previously the ‘universal energy currency’ of living systems is ATP (adenosine triphosphate). This is largely produced within mitochondria‚ organelles which are often referred to as the ‘powerhouse’ of the cell. The ATP that results is used to provide the power for the muscle fibres to contract. Contraction itself (i.e. actual shortening movement) occurs when a bond is broken between ATP and one of its

3 Yeast Metabolism Metabolism refers to the biochemical assimilation (in anabolic pathways) and dissimilation (in catabolic pathways) of nutrients by a cell. Like in other organisms‚ in yeast these processes are mediated by enzymic reactions‚ and regulation of the underlying pathways have been studied in great detail in yeast. Anabolic pathways include reductive processes leading to the production of new cellular material‚ while catabolic pathways are oxidative processes which remove electrons

Chapter 7: Carbohydrates I. Carbohydrates A. Most abundant organic molecule in nature a) 3 major classes: Monosaccharides – simple sugar – polyhydroxy aldehyde or ketone; represent individual sugar Oligosaccharides – consist of short chains of monosaccharide units joined together by covalent bonds; 2-10 strings of sugar Polysaccharides – long chains having hundreds or thousands of monosaccharide units b) Functions: Provide energy thru oxidation – glucose oxidized for energy Supply carbon
