The primary intervention in the management of dysmetabolic syndrome consists of lifestyle modifications such as cessation of smoking‚ healthy eating of calories restricted diet and increase in physical activity (Falentin‚ 2010). In dysmetabolic syndrome‚ the main emphasis is on reducing the individual risk factors especially in patients identified as high risk of cardiovascular disease and T2DM. Riediger and Clara (2011)‚ state the importance of doctors using a screening tool for other risk factors

XYY Syndrome‚ Jacob Syndrome XYY Syndrome‚ better known as the Jacob Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder which affects males due to an extra Y chromosome. Healthy males have 46 chromosomes including one X and one Y chromosome. Men with XYY syndrome have 47 chromosomes‚ two of which are Y chromosomes. It is not known why the extra Y chromosome occurs. The disorder is present at birth and is estimated to occur in one out of every one thousand live births (1). In very rare instances‚ the syndrome

Metabolic syndrome is a name for a group of risk factors that occur together and increase the risk for coronary artery disease‚ stroke‚ and type 2 diabetes. The primary components include insulin resistance‚ obesity‚ dyslipidemia‚ hypertension and central obesity. The two most important risk factors for metabolic syndrome are extra weight around the middle and upper parts of the body (central obesity). This is when the body may be described as "apple-shaped”‚ as well as insulin resistance‚ in which

effects of TSH and thyoxine on metabolic rate are investigated. Hypothesis: With the information given‚ we tested the effects of given hormones on the body by using virtual rats. We expect to see a greater metabolic rate for the normal rat as opposed to the thyroidectomized rat. The hypox rat is expected to have the lowest metabolic rate. Metabolic rate will increase once thyroxine is injected. TSH will increase the metabolic rate of all the rats with
