Hello Dr Buxbaum‚ Below is my weekly update for this week from 24th Aug ’16 to 26th Aug ’16. 1) FMR1 5-choice training: - At the end of the 9th week of the Fmr1 rat training‚ we have 1 rat that finished the challenge trials running on reminder S8b schedules. It is a male wild type that performed with more than 75% accuracy with fewer than 10% omissions. The second rat was run on baseline schedule today and it performed exceptionally well with 88% accuracy and 8% omission. - The 2 rats running

The article that I read discussed the two main types and most common forms of diabetes‚ but it also discussed gestational diabetes. Gestational diabetes generally occurs in women who are older in age‚ a personal or family related health history‚ or are more obese. It discusses that women with an insulin producing defect are the ones who are more likely to develop gestational diabetes‚ because their pancreas is unable to make enough insulin to support both the mother and the fetus. Gestational diabetes

One‚ two‚ I remember counting my grandfather’s blood pressure pills every evening. At the same time‚ I would take a syringe‚ and place the correct amount of insulin in it for my grandmother. Since I was twelve years old‚ medicine has always been personal. Both of my grandparents were from Libya‚ spoke no word of English‚ and were illiterate. This combination made it very difficult for them to manage their own care. I would always accompany them to their medical appointments‚ and served as the intermediary

If the type of active ingredient in found in antihistamine type medications relates to the heart rate of a Daphnia magna (water flea) through its respiration‚ then Benadryl will significantly reduce the heart rate of the Daphnia after 2 minutes compared to Zyrtec and Claritin‚ whose ingredients will cause an increase in heart rate after 2 minutes. Benadryl is a first-generation antihistamine that contains diphenhydramine as the active ingredient‚ Zyrtec is a second-generation antihistamine that

Activity 1 Which rat had the fastest baseline metabolic rate? Normal Rat Why did the metabolic rates differ? The hypophysectomized rat lacked thyroid-stimulating hormone. The thyroidectomized rat lacked thyroxine hormone. Activity 2 What was the effect of thyroxine on the normal rat’s metabolic rate? How does it compare to the normal rat’s baseline metabolic rate? Thyroxine caused the metabolic rate to increase; it was faster. Why was this effect seen? Because it stimulates heart rate‚

Sugar Metabolism Title: The effectiveness of glucose and fructose metabolism in individuals of resting and exercising observed through blood glucose concentration. Aim: To study the mechanisms of the body involved in absorbing and metabolizing sugar in the form of glucose and fructose and examine the effect of exercise on the rate of removal of glucose from the bloodstream. Introduction: The blood glucose concentration in the blood is interceded by the human body via negative feedback mechanism

Glucose homeostasis The fed state Presentation copyright © 2007 David A Bender The central nervous system is very largely reliant on glucose as its metabolic fuel; it cannot oxidise fatty acids (but can metabolise ketone bodies in prolonged starvation) glycogen Red blood cells are absolutely reliant on glucose; they have no mitochondria and form ATP only by anaerobic glycolysis triacyglycerol protein glucose triacylglycerol in VLDL triacylglycerol in chylomicrons amino

Glucose Oxidase and Its Various Uses Aaron Truong Since glucose oxidase has an end product called hydrogen peroxide‚ which is a harmful substance to bacteria‚ it can be used to fight bacteria‚ or sterilize objects (can have various uses such as in hand sanitizers‚ toothpaste‚ soap‚ etc)‚ not just biosensors. Another key part in the reaction would be C6H12O6‚ or glucose. Glucose oxidase can be applied to diabetics as mentioned earlier‚ as biosensors work by "keeping track of the
