Carbohydrates - the Good‚ the Bad‚ the Iffy In the video “Are All Carbohydrates Equally Bad?” Dr. Jason Fung gives us a very good description of how different carbohydrates impact our body. Dr. Fung concluded that fructose‚ a sugar that found in fruits and honey‚ is much worse for us than glucose that found in bread‚ rice‚ and potatoes (Brefere & Drummond‚ 2017‚ p. 68). Even though they are both single sugars‚ they have different effects on our body. The same as people questioned for many years

The Protein Data Bank Assignment: Glucansucrase After I came to America‚ I have already met my dentist many times. Although I brush my teeth three times a day‚ use floss correctly and meet dentist every year‚ I don’t know why my teeth keep in trouble and get cavities again and again. I really want to figure out why the bacteria from my mouth cannot be removed. When I am finding some protein‚ I found that Glucansucrase which is related on the issue of tooth decay. I think Glucansucrase

The Some of the roles proteins play in the human body like Proteins serve as enzymes‚ help maintain the body’s fluid balance by attracting water‚ help maintain acid-base balance by acting as buffers‚ act against disease agents as antibodies‚ regulate body processes as hormones‚ transport nutrients and other molecules into and out of cells‚ help clot blood‚ help make scar tissue and bones‚ and serve as light-sensitive visual pigments. Also‚ Growth and repair this the most important and Individual

BENEFITS OF WHEY PROTEIN IN FITNESS For centuries people have been using whey proteins for their beneficial health properties. Whey is derived from milk and is the by product of cheese production. Today it has found its place in nutrition as it offers optimal health and enables good fat burning. It is a low fat‚ low calorie and low carbohydrate food that is placed low on the glycemic index (GI) Scale. Replacing high fat and high calorie meals with this protein will melt the fat away because the

In the quest to combat pre-diabetes‚ a lifestyle disease that he was diagnosed with‚ Professor Tim Noakes embarked on and advocated for a Low Carbohydrate High Fat diet. The aim of the LCHF diet is to achieve a nutritional balance of 5% carbohydrates‚ 60-70% fats and 20-30% protein‚ and claims to control insulin levels resulting in weight loss‚ body weight control and prevent insulin resistance. The control of insulin levels and the hindrance of insulin resistance are of great importance since if

of Muscle Proteins to Infer Evolutionary Relationships of Mammals‚ Fish and Birds Abstract This experiment used electrophoresis to examine the makeup of muscle proteins from two mammals (cow‚ Bos taurus; bear‚ Ursus americanus)‚ two aves (chicken‚ Gallus gallus; turkey‚ Meleagris gallopavo)‚ and two fish (King Salmon‚ Oncorhynchus tshawytscha; Albacore Tuna‚ Scombridae unclassified). The hypothesis was that as species have diverged evolutionarily‚ the makeup of their muscle proteins has also

After calculating‚ this meal came to 225 grams of carbohydrates. It was enough to keep my blood sugars regulated without feeling overly stuffed. For lunch‚ if I am being completely honest‚ I did not take my blood sugars. I figured since I was feeling fine and well‚ I was hungry that I would be okay skipping one reading and/or dose of insulin. I prepared myself another 75 gram carbohydrate meal that included one turkey sandwich with mustard‚ one cup of my leftover chili

AP Bio Ras Protein Paper The Ras proteins are a family of proteins that belong to a class of proteins called the small GTPase’s. They belong to a large super-family of proteins known as "low-molecular weight G-proteins". They are used to transmit signals throughout a cell using transduction. They strengthen the signals conveyed by linking them to a chemically irreversible process such as the cleavage of GTP. Ras proteins are usually in the “off” state where the GDP is bound to the site. However

A protein is a Biological polymer made up of as different amino acids joined by peptide bonds. A protein is formed by amino acids which are the basic building block of a protein components of an amino acid include a :C-carbon atom‚ H-Hydrogen atom‚ H3N+ - Amino Group‚ COOH- - Carboxyl Group‚ R- this group varies from amino acid to amino acid. There are 20 amino acids‚ each differing in its R group. Two examples are: Glycine‚ its R group being H(Hydrogen) and Phenylalanine its R group being CH2 (Carbon
