Name: Yuguo Hou Glucose Intake Experiment In ruminants‚ starch is enzymatic hydrolyzed digested to glucose which is highly energetically efficient and absorbed by brush border membrane in small intestinal. In order to better understanding of digestion and absorption of glucose in the ruminants‚ they did a lot of experiments on three kinds of ruminate‚ cow‚ calf and sheep. Determining from different aspects such as mRNA expression‚ protein expression and enzyme activity‚ hormone

The protozoan intestinal parasite Giardia lamblia lacks mitochondria and the ability to make haem yet encodes several putative haem-binding proteins‚ including three of the cytochrome b5 family. We cloned one of these (gCYTb5-I) and expressed it within Escherichia coli as a soluble holoprotein. UV-visible and resonance Raman spectra of gCYTb5-I resemble those of microsomal cytochrome b5‚ and homology modelling supports a structure in which a pair of invariant histidine residues act as axial

reaction trigger by the ingestion of gluten-containing foods. This autoimmune disease involves both genetic and environmental factors that affect the small intestine in these individuals (NELMS). In this disease‚ the exposure gluten damages the intestinal mucosa of the small intestine. Gluten is the general name for proteins found in the endosperm of grains. These proteins are found in almost all grain containing foods such as bread‚ rice‚ pasta‚ and cereal. Gluten is made up of two proteins called

Constipation can be caused by numerous factors or health conditions. It is pivotal for the provider to diagnose the right cause of constipation on order to be able to select the appropriate treatment. According to Edmunds‚ & Mayhew (2014)‚ all laxatives work by increasing fluid retention in the colon. There are five different types of laxative that can be used depending on the type of constipation. Bulk laxatives are non-digestible and non- absorbable‚ which cause the stool to absorb water‚ expands

Jaundice (also known as icterus;[1] from the Greek word ίκτερος‚ attributive adjective: icteric) is a yellowish pigmentation of the skin‚ the conjunctival membranes over the sclerae (whites of the eyes)‚ and other mucous membranes caused by hyperbilirubinemia (increased levels of bilirubin in the blood).[2] This hyperbilirubinemia subsequently causes increased levels of bilirubin in the extracellular fluid. Concentration of bilirubin in blood plasma is normally below 1.2 mg/dL (50µmol/L) leads to

Populations have been declining for many years due to a variety of stressors in their environment. Parasites and pesticides are a major interacting threat faced by bees. Clothianidin is a neonicotinoid pesticide widely used which comes into contact with bees while they forage on pollen and nectar. To investigate whether field realistic concentrations of clothianidin have an effect on the prevalence of gut parasites Crithidia bombi‚ Apicystis bombi and Nosema apis in Bombus terrestris‚ colonies were exposed

Crohn’s disease is one of the fastest growing intestinal disease in the United States. You may ask‚ “who can get Crohn’s disease?”. Anyone can get Crohn’s disease but it is more common for a woman rather than a man to get it. It has affected more than five hundred thousand people in the United States alone‚ that is about one for every seven people in the United States. Crohn’s has common symptoms of a cold such as abdominal pains‚ fever‚ and diarrhea‚ it also has many more symptoms. Crohn’s can affect

Toxoplasma gondii: A Review of Parasitology‚ Pathology‚ and Epidemiology Parasites are naturally “clever‚” yet insidious organisms. You may have a parasite inside you right now‚ without even knowing it. An effective parasite lives without being detected because if it is‚ then measures can be taken to eradicate it. One such parasite is known as Toxoplasma gondii. T. gondii is an obligate intracellular protozoan first discovered by Nicolle and Manceaux

It will be helpful in fabricating systems in spite of its cost and high performance. Snail fever is spread by contact with the fresh water contaminated with the parasites in the water body. The disease is most common in the developing countries than the developed countries[42]. The parasite is diagnosed by the presence of the parasite in the urine or the stool of the infected person[6]. The World Health Organization recommends the medicine praziquantel for the treatment of snail fever[28]. But there

Causes and spread of infection Identify the differences between bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi‚ parasites? -Viruses aren’t living. They’re only made of complex proteins and nucleic acids. Bacteria‚ Fungi and Parasites are living organisms. - Bacteria are unicellular microorganisms. Fungi and Parasites are multicellular. - Fungi have cell walls made of chitin and they aren’t animals. Parasites and bacteria are animals. Bacteria come in 3 main shapes; spherical which are known as cocci‚ rod shaped
