Women‚ are more affected by less alcohol than men‚ perhaps because they have a lower blood volume‚ and so it’s distribution and decreased activity for gastric alcohol dehydrogenase are increased. The primary care physician plays an important role in making the diagnosis and in helping the older alcoholic receive proper medical and psychological care. As patients grow older‚ and develop conditions that require prescription

those genetically more susceptible to LHON. (McClelland‚ C.‚ Meyerson‚ C. & Van Stavern‚ G.‚ 2015. ) LHON is happened because of the point mutation in one of three mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)‚ which are G3460A‚ G11778A‚ and T14484C in the NADH dehydrogenase genes that coding for the ND1‚ ND4‚ and ND6 subunits of complex I of the mitochondrial respiratory chain.

PRODUCTION OF CITRIC ACID Introduction: Citric acid is a White solid‚C3H4OH(COOH)3‚soluble in water and slightly soluble in organic solvents‚ which melts at 153 oC. Aqueous solutions of citric acid are slightly more acidic than solutions of acetic acid. Traces of citric acid are found in numerous plants and animals‚ because it is a nearly universal intermediate product of metabolism. Large amount of the acid are found in the juice of citrus fruits‚ from which it is precipitated by the

Excretion. a) excretion is the removal or metabolic waste from the body. Metabolic waste consists of waste substances that may be toxic or are produced n excess by reactions inside cells. b) Explain the importance of removing metabolic wastes‚ including carbon dioxide and nitrogenous waste‚ from the body. The are many substances that need to be excreted - almost any cell product that is formed in excess by the chemical process occurring in the cells must be excreted. However there are two
