    University 2 Hereditary Fructose Intolerance Metabolism is the process of cellular respiration. It involves three steps‚ 1) glycolysis‚ 2) the citric acid or Krebs cycle and 3) electron transport system. The glycolytic pathway or glycolysis is a metabolic process that leads to the formation of the energy source adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in the body. ATP is essential to the cell and the cellular processes used by the cell. The first step‚ glycolysis is the process by which each molecule of glucose

    compensatory‚ progressive and refractory. In the initial stage signs of shock are minimal with cells switching from aerobic to anaerobic metabolism leading to lactic acidosis‚ this is the build-up of excess lactic acid in the blood. Taking an arterial blood gas and checking the lactate level in the blood can give clear indication of acidosis. Hypovolemia can manifest when there is about 15% loss of circulatory volume‚ but the more volume lost the more significant the clinical signs become (Hall‚ 2010)

    Discuss the Luebering-Rapapport Pathway and its significance. In biochemistry‚ the Luebering-Rapoport pathway (also called the Luebering-Rapoport shunt) is a metabolic pathway in mature erythrocytes involving the formation of 2‚3-bisphosphoglycerate (2‚3-BPG)‚ which regulates oxygen release from hemoglobin and delivery to tissues. 2‚3-BPG‚ the reaction product of the Luebering-Rapoport pathway was first described

    Abstract Diabetes mellitus is a condition in which the body is unable to produce sufficient insulin (needed by the body to convert glucose energy) leading to high blood glucose levels (Fusco‚ Gonzales‚ & Yeung‚ 2015). There are two types of diabetes‚ type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes (Westerberg‚ 2013). Type 1 diabetes is caused by the bodies inability to produce insulin as opposed to type 2 diabetes which is caused by inadequate insulin production or absorption (Fusco et al.‚ 2015).

    decreases CO2‚ increases pH‚ and lowers H+ levels which then results to respiratory alkalosis. In the experiment‚ we used the PhysioEx 8.0 software to simulate hyperventilation and recorded the change of the breathing pattern which gave us the levels of pH and CO2. The first run of hyperventilation results signified alkalosis. On the second hyperventilation run‚ the breathing pattern went from being in the alkalosis state then gradually went back to normal. A correlation graph with a R2 value was also
