First pass metabolism. Pharmacology is the study of the effects drugs have and how they exert them. Drugs can be administered enteral or parenteral. [1] Enteral refers to any form of administration that involves the alimentary tract. The four enteral routes of administration include the mouth‚ sublingual‚ buccal and rectal. Parenteral refers to routes of administration outside of or beside of the alimentary tract. The parenteral route includes intravascular (IV)‚ Intramuscular (IM) and subcutaneous

Proteins play an important role in the human body. The DNA molecule controls the synthesis of proteins. The DNA contains genes which are sequences of nucleotides and bases. Proteins are used for growth and repair. Proteins are made up of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. Firstly ’amino acid synthesis ’ is the set of biochemical processes by which the various amino acids are produced from other compounds. The substrates for these processes are various compounds in the organism ’s diet

Purine metabolism is central to the production of nucleotides in the body. Imbalances in this process can lead to hyperuricemia which is abnormally high levels of uric acid in the blood [>360μmol/L in females and >400μmol/L in males]. Hyperuricemia can lead to uric acid crystals precipitating in the joints‚ skin‚ vessels and other tissues‚ this is a form of inflammatory arthritis known as gout. Uric acid is a metabolite of purine metabolism therefore gout can aptly be characterized as a disorder

connection of the liquids in the fat cells. Along with this‚ it also helps in reducing the desire or craving for food and hence reducing hunger in a human body. Food hunger starts in human due to a hormone called lipid‚ and the main work of the medicine is to reduce the concentration of this hormone lipid in the body so that the craving or hunger for food is reduced. Obviously if hunger is not there‚ a person will have a feeling of his appetite being full most of the time and will consume only the amount of

Premium Protein Cell membrane Lipid bilayer
membrane is a fluid mosaic which consists of proteins‚ lipids and carbohydrates which seperates the cell from it’s surrounding environment or subdivides a cell into specialised regions or compartments (Watters). The membrane is specialised in that it contains the specific proteins and lipid components that it requires in order to fulfil the requirements needed by that organelle or cell. Membranes are vital for the integrity and function of a cell. Lipids are the one class of large biological molecules

Paraquat‚ also called methyl viologen‚ is widely used by farmers as an herbicide (). Herbicides are known to control weeds by altering how they grow‚ by modifying the plants ability to make essential carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ and ultamatly preventing germination (if applyed before it turns into a seedling) (http://paraquat.com/knowledge-bank/crop-production-and-protection/mode-of-action-how-herbicides-work). Paraquat is used in a large variety of crops as it shows highly toxic effects to unwanted
