A driver might be found to have a level of 0.15, for example, while the legal limit is 0.08. To comprehend how we can gain access to such precise numbers, we have to ask ourselves: how does a breathalyzer work? What do those figures mean? And how do police officers find out if ...
How does protein metabolism occur?Protein:Proteins are macromolecules containing amino acids. It provides structural support to the cells and helps in catalyzing different reactions in its active form. Three types of proteins are observed in a human cell are globular, fibrous, and membrane proteins....
How does water consumption just after waking up kick-start metabolism? How does the thyroid hormone T3 (Triiodothyronine) act within the cell to increase metabolism? How exactly does homeostasis work? How does the metabolism of drugs play a vital role in leading to the development of a drug?
In the fruit fly Drosophila, circadian clocks also control fat metabolism. This is shown in a new study by a research team at the University of Würzburg. The findings could also be relevant for humans.
The metabolism is always in motion and allows you to easily consume the calories introduced with food. The five meals help to: awaken the metabolism, promote the preservation and increase of lean mass, remove the feeling of hunger, get better physical performance, improve your energy level. ...
This study combines lipidomic and transcriptomic analyses to show that macrophage-derived foam cells are associated with suppression, rather than activation, of inflammatory genes and that most of the changes in gene expression and lipid metabolism are triggered by the accumulation of desmosterol, an ...
Digestive juices chemically break food down into components that are usable in fueling the body's metabolism. The exact chemical reaction that ensues is largely dependent on the specific juice. Stimuli from food, such as sight, smell and taste, triggers increased production of digestive juices. ...
How do enzymes digest lipids? What is the role of enzymes in our body? What are the basic mechanisms of enzyme control, and why do they matter? A) What enzymatic reaction does glucokinase perform in metabolism? How does it differ from other hexokinases, and why is this important in pa...
Biosurfactants are amphiphilic substances produced by microbial metabolism that contain both hydrophobic and hydrophilic groups, mainly composed of proteins, sugars, and lipids87. The structure of BS can be identified using various techniques such as thin layer chromatography, Fourier Transform Infrared Spec...
