for guaiacol peroxidase (GPX) and catalase (CAT). However‚ ascorbate (APX) activity decreased under stress for both genotypes. We observed more MDA content and GPX and APX activity in Azri mung-2006 as compared to NM 19-19 when high concentrations of Pb and Cd were added. This revealed that NM 19-19 was tolerant whereas Azri mung-2006 was sensitive to Pb and Cd. It was further noticed that Cd imposed a more deleterious effect than Pb on both genotypes.

CHAPTER I THE RESEARCH PROBLEM BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY Now days‚ exporting is hard in the Philippines hence the country is not that good in means of transportation because of the gap between the islands and provinces; and not all places have good roads. This kind of problem could take hours for the exporters to export their goods to other places like the market‚ malls‚ and other cities along the country. And due to that kind of problem may lead to poor source of income for the exporters

Grave’s disease is an autoimmune disorder that deals specifically with the thyroid gland. The body makes antibodies that bind to TSHR‚ thyroid- stimulating receptor‚ on the thyroid gland. This leads to hyperthyroidism or a huge increase in the release of hormones from the thyroid gland. Under normal conditions TSH or thyroid stimulating hormone‚ released from the anterior pituitary gland‚ mediates the release of thyroid hormone. This cycle of the production of thyroid hormone is self- regulated by

Selenium and cancer therapy In the article “Selenium Compounds‚ Apoptosis and Other Types of Cell Death: An Overview for Cancer Therapy”‚ Author Carmen Sanmartin‚ Daniel Plano‚ Arun K‚ Sharma and Juan Antonio Palop point out thtat Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element and can cause several types of cell death. Thus‚ it influences positively on many biological functions in human beings and animals. It is important in cancer treatment and prevention. At the beginning of the article‚ the authors

DIAGNOSIS: • Hashimoto’s disease is diagnosed by detecting the elevated levels of anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies in the serum. • Testing for thyroid stimulating hormone‚ free T3‚ free T4‚ can give accurate results. • Inflammation within the thyroid that causes damage to the integrity of thyroid follicle storage of thyroglobulin is also used to diagnose
