Carbohydrates are the primary fuel of the human body. A few days without consuming carbs drives the body into a metabolic state known as ketosis‚ where the primary energy source is fat. A diet that induces a permanent state of ketosis is known as a ketogenic diet. This dietary regimen is currently gaining popularity‚ largely as a result of the publicity created by American physician Dr. Atkins for his Atkins diet. But while a ketogenic diet is commonly employed to successfully treat some ailments--notably

strong to support the animal’s weight. Typically‚ the weight-bearing muscles have a higher amount of connective tissue because they contain strong protein. The toughness of meat is contributed by the number of cross-linked chains per volume of meat explains a large amount of tenderness variation‚ produced by muscle type‚ animal age‚ type‚ and sex in different species. But connective tissue in meat is not desirable as it is tough and doesn’t usually result in a positive eating experience. During heating

pulp: fibrous changes pulpal stones –diffuse calcifications) DEFINITION : The pulp is a delicate mesenchymal connective tissue that occupies the pulp cavity in the central part of tooth. The normal pulp is pink‚ coherent soft tissue is noted‚ dependent on its normal hard dentin for protection. Dentin and pulp are embryologically‚ histologically‚ and functionally the same tissue and therefore are considered as a complex. Both dentin and pulp have a common origin from the dental papilla It is surrounded

Microbiology is involved in many aspects of human daily life. The food eaten to the showerheads in the bathroom contain thousands of microbes. Microbiology is evident in our lives and it is reported through various media. News reports have articles about microbes just like a recent article from Times Magazine titled Overcoming Obesity by Alex Park. Park featured article is about the problem of obesity in America and how different scientists are thinking of new manners to combat this epidemic

Marfan’s Syndrome Marfan syndrome is an inherited connective-tissue disorder transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait. It is distributed worldwide‚ has a high prevalence rate and has pleiotropic manifestations‚ meaning one gene influences multiple traits that do not seem to be related. Mutations of the FBN1 gene on the 15th chromosome (more specifically chromosome 15q21.1) cause Marfan syndrome. The FBN1 gene is coded to make a glycoprotein called fibrillin-1

of the adipocyte tissues (Wang and Jones‚ 2004). Human pre-adipocytes taken from the human tissues were cultured and exposed to 100uM conjugated Linoleic acid for 24-94 h (Evans et al‚ 2000). This induced the release of the tumor necrosis factor as measured using DNA analysis (TNF- alpha)‚ causing apoptotic tissue death in human cells. TNF-alpha functions in preventing the development of preadipocytes to mature adipocytes and causes the delipidation of newly formed adipocyte tissue in humans (Sorisky

There is a wide range of application of biopolymers in medicine which include tissue engineering‚ wound healing‚ controlled release of drugs‚ post surgical treatments‚ etc. Their application in tissue engineering is mainly due to certain desirable qualities such as suitable surface morphology‚ mechanical properties‚ ease in processability and tailorability‚ degradability‚ etc. In the field of wound healing the traditional‚ less effective methods are being replaced by the use of biopolymeric scaffolds
