Vitamin A. Deficiency Author: Michael Alan Hall Institution: Brandman University Abstract Vitamin A deficiency is a horrible disease. It causes side effects such as night blindness‚ conjuctival xerosis‚ bilot spots‚ corneal xerosis‚ corneal scars and xerophthalmia. Unfortunately this disease mostly affects the poor. The disease is not as prevalent in this country as it is in other such as Africa and Asia. It becomes worse because the citizens

TESTOSTERONE DEFICIENCY IN MALES Testosterone is a hormone which is produced in the testes and is responsible for male characteristics‚ such as facial hair‚ deepening of voice‚ and muscle mass. As men age and hit age 30‚ their testosterone levels drop causing metabolic changes. Because of low testosterone levels‚ men will gain weight‚ lose muscle mass‚ and lose sexual drive. If you suspect that your testosterone level is low‚ there are some things that you should consider. First‚ and most

Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is an enzyme involved in producing energy after the body has lost access to oxygen. LDH produces energy by helping to catalyze the reaction of NADH to NAD+ and does so by oxidation using pyruvate (1). LDH is found in highest concentrations in the heart‚ kidneys‚ lungs‚ blood cells and muscle tissues. Increases in LDH levels in the body have shown to be a marker of pain severity. This is because of tissue damage is the primary source of increasing LDH in the body. Thus

Succinate dehydrogenase is an enzyme of the tricarboxylic acid cycle and is found in mitochondria. Succinate dehydrogenase is very stable and is found at high concentration only in the mitochondrion of eukaryotes. It can be easily used as a marker enzyme for mitochondria and we used it to estimate the realative amounts of mitochondira in…Jacob and Monod used the lactose metabolism system of Escherichia Coli (E. Coli) to better understand the problem of enzyme induction‚ the occurrence of a particular

Isolation‚ Expression and Cloning of Lactate Dehydrogenase Gene from Lactobacillus bulgaricus Lactobacillus bulgaricus is used for industrial production of yogurt mainly because of his fermentative capability. In this experiment‚ the gene encoding the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase [ldhA] from the bactaria was isolated and cloned. The expressed ldhA gene was inserted into pET28b plasmid vector. The resulting recombinant pET28b-LdhA expression vector was then transformed after introduction into E.

Exercise 1: Alcohol Dehydrogenase (ADH) Reaction Bich 413 section 508 Abstract The Alcohol Dehydrogenase Reaction in Oxidized Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide. The oxidation-reduction of Nicotinamide adenine Dinucleotides (NADH) are very Important reaction in the biological system. When the Oxidized Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) is react with a alcohol‚ catalyze by Alcohol Dehydrogenase (ADH)‚ the result products are NADH‚ H+‚ and aldehyde.In the biological system‚ the

Part of Lactate Dehydrogenase responsibility is to catalyzes the reaction of pyruvate and lactate of NADH AND NAD+. As it converts pyruvate‚ the final product of glycolysis‚ to lactate‚ if oxygen is absent or in minimal amounts‚ it will perform the opposite reaction during another cycle‚ which is the Cori cycle. The Cori cycle takes place in the liver. When we exercise our cells get significant amounts of oxygen and sugar is broken down quickly and very efficiently. On the other hand‚ when we start
