Tumor markers Tumor markers are biochemical indicators that are used to detect or chek presence of cancers generaly. these biochemical indicators are abnormal molecules secreted by the tumor celssand they are included surface anitigens‚ cytoplasmic proteins‚ enzymes and hormones. These markers are measured from the serum and are used in screening tests of the population to evaluate presence of cancer. These markers are also important in supporting diagnosis of cancers. And also in addition they are

epithelial cells can’t regulate the way chloride (part of the salt called sodium chloride) passes across cell membranes. This disrupts the essential balance of salt and water needed to maintain a normal thin coating of fluid and mucus inside the lungs‚ pancreas‚ and passageways in other organs. Question 2: The physician requested genetic testing after the infant tested positive for the sweat test. The sweat test is used to help diagnose cystic fibrosis. This test measures the amount of chloride in

diabetes mellitus (referred as diabetes) impacts many people in today’s world. Diabetes is the condition of hyperglycemia‚ or when the body’s blood glucose level is too high or too low because of an error in the amount of insulin excreted from the pancreas (Blair 27). This can result in the imbalance of homeostasis and cause a chain reaction of problems within the body. The two common types of diabetes are Type I and Type II. The two types are very similar in the way they inflict the body‚ but Type

Problem Set 1 1. Explain lipoprotein physiology and metabolism (Chapter 15). - Lipoproteins are a biochemical formation that aid with the transporting of lipids. The four major pathways include Lipid absorption pathway‚ exogenous pathway‚ endogenous pathway and reverse cholesterol transport pathway. All of these pathways are dependent on a particular particle know as apo-B that contains lipoproteins which‚ functions as a transport for dietary and Hepatic lipids to the outer layers of the cells

body does not make enough insulin or cannot use its own insulin as well as it should. Insulin is a hormone and also a protein‚ which is made by the cells within the pancreas. This causes the sugar to build up in your blood. Most of the food that we eat is turned into glucose‚ which is a sugar that gives us physical energy. The pancreas an organ near the stomach makes the insulin which then helps the glucose to get to our bodies‚ when that process is not happening that’s when diabetes occurs. Diabetes
