Visiting Sr. Research Scientist May 1998 to Dec 1999 Merck and Co. - West Point‚ PA Studied guinea pig’s immune response which produces a very robust T cell response‚ like humans‚ against intracellular pathogens. My duties were to develop guinea pig reagents‚ which are lacking‚ to do molecular immunological studies in the guinea pig animal model in pre-clinical vaccine development. Performed early development work on vaccines to Haemophilus influenza‚ Moraxella catarrhalis

Without a good supply of carbohydrates as glycogen in the muscles and liver‚ and frequent supplies with food and drink‚ it reduces the amount of time that can be sustained a moderate or intense physical effort. Who takes part in events that last for over an hour must pay particular attention to supply

Neonatal Hypoglycaemia‚ a Literature Review. The key words used when researching this review: Neonatal hypoglycaemia/hypoglycemia‚ New-born hypoglycaemia‚ Low plasma glucose level‚ New-born/Infant low blood sugar‚ Hypoglycaemia in preterm/high risk neonates‚ Hypoglycaemia/breastfeeding‚ gluconeogenesis/ketone bodies. The databases and search engines used: Google scholar‚ CINHAL and Medline. Hypoglycaemia is common among neonates‚ therefore Healthcare professionals must be aware of the risk factors

Some common polysaccharides are: cellulose‚ chitin (in seafood)‚ starch‚ alginate‚ hydroaluronic acid‚ chondritin sulfate‚ glycogen‚ xylan‚ pectin‚ and various others. Polysaccharides boast varied and mostly useful properties that vary based on their structure‚ on of the most important being the ability to absorb water. Some‚ however‚ also degrade in water‚ rendering this absorption

First and foremost Forskolin is a chemical substance that is the root extract from the plant Coleus Forskolin‚ more commonly known as the Indian Coleus plant. The plant is part of the mint family and as the name suggests was first found in India. The herb has been used throughout ancient history as a medical product to treat a variety of conditions such as heart and lung disease‚ insomnia‚ convulsions and intestinal spasms. In modern times however the herb is used for a variety of different treatments

that innervate the chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla. As a consequence‚ the chromaffin cells secrete the hormone epinephrine (adrenaline) into the general circulation. This provides readily available sources of energy by forming glucose from glycogen depots and [[free fatty acid]s from the triglyceride stores of adipose tissue; it quickens the pulse and raises arterial blood pressure‚ but also accelerates blood coagulation and thereby protects against blood loss in the event of injury.

The Behavior of Proteins: Enzymes Enzymes are Effective Biological Catalyst Catalysis- speeds up metabolism to allow production of products. Enzymes- Highly specific and most efficient catalyst that speeds up metabolism or rate of reaction in organisms by factor up to 10^20 (globular proteins) Nonenzymatic catalyst- enhance by 10^2 -10^4 Ribozymes- acts for catalytic activity in RNA’s Kinetics versus Thermodynamics Standard free energy change- difference between the energies of the reactants
