LAB ONE: Exercise 4 – Endocrine System Activity 1: Metabolism and Thyroid Hormone Part 1: 1. The normal rat had the fastest basal metabolic rate. 2. The metabolic rates differed between the normal rat and the surgically altered rats because the surgically altered rats didn’t have a thyroid or pituitary gland and therefore‚ the normal rat had a faster basal metabolic rate. The results turned out to be the way I predicted them to be. 3. T3 and T4 would be missing in the animal’s blood

study is to find out the effect of L-carnitine on the activities of electron transport chain in young and aged rats. 2. What are the main conclusions of this study? The conclusion is that carnitine may prevents free radicals mediated mitochondrial membrane damages and increases the electron flow through the electron transport chain and thereby increasing energy production in aged rats. 3. How could this study be improved? This is a very open-ended question; just do the best you can. In

The results are what I would have expected to see comparing the artic ground squirrel‚ and Brown Norway rat and Dahl rats. The graph shows that rodent with the least amount of heart damage is the artic ground squirrel that hibernates during the winter and that the Dahl Salt sensitive rat has the most levels of troponin in the blood levels meaning that

Objectives: In this study the effect of Silybum marianum extract (SME) on histological and biochemical parameters in the TMX treated rats was investigated. Materials and Methods: Adult female Wistar rats were divided into four groups; group 1: normal control untreated rats‚ group 2: SME-treated rats‚ that received only SME oral gavage for 14 days ‚ group 3: TMX-treated rats‚ that

One of the more positive words used to illustrate the personality of a person born in the year of the rat is meticulous. I find that I am careful and detail oriented. I prefer a task to be performed in a complete and methodical manner to ensure accuracy and thoroughness. This is often problematic‚ since not everyone views life and work this way.

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disorder in which the body attacks the insulin producing beta cells of the pancreas. The pancreas is then incapable of producing insulin‚ and thus the body’s blood

DC (Family: Capparidaceae) was investigated in Wistar rats. Fifty normoglycaemic male rats (120g-200g) were divided into groups A (hypoglycaemic study; n=20) and B (antihyperglycaemic study; n=30). The studies had one control group and three groups administered with Cr (100‚ 200 or 400mg/kg) respectively. Group B had two additional groups of diabetic-untreated rats and glibenclamide-treated diabetic rats. Diabetes was induced in Group B rats (except control) fasted overnight for 12hours by intraperitoneal
