Lipids Biochemistry November 13‚ 2013 Lipids Lipids are families of biomolecules including fats and oils‚ waxes‚ steroids ‚ cholesterol and fat soluble vitamins. All lipids are naturally occurring compounds varying greatly in structure but share the common feature of being soluble in non polar solvents such as chloroform and ether but not in water. Lipids consist mainly of carbon and hydrogen atoms linked by non polar covalent

The Laboratory Diagnosis and management of Diabetic Coma Diabetes is any disorder of the metabolism which causes excessive thirst and the production of large volumes of urine. A coma is a state of unrousable unconsciousness. (Martin (2002)) There are two types of diabetes: Diabetes Insipidus (DI) is a rare metabolic disorder‚ the symptoms of which are the production of large quantities of dilute urine and an increased thirst. It is caused by a deficiency of the pituitary hormone Anti-diuretic

ophthalmic changes (Kakleas et al‚ 2015). In a hyperthyroid state‚ glucose requirements are increased to support the increase in metabolism. This increased need for glucose results in endogenous glucose production mainly through stimulation of gluconeogenesis. However‚ studies also suggest that‚ in order to support gluconeogensesis‚ there is an increased rate of glycolysis and lactate formation relative to glucose oxidation the skeletal muscle. This effectively results in a decrease in glycogen synthesis

Negative feedback in living organisms Negative feedback is a principle which is used by the body in order to return systems to its normal level; it does this by turning the corrective measures off. Homeostasis uses the principle of negative feedback in order to maintain a constant internal environment. There are a number of different examples of negative feedback such as thermoregulation‚ regulation of blood glucose and the regulation of water potential. The control of the heartbeat can also use
