Because, to be better used by the body, collagen protein must be hydrolyzed into short, bioactive chains of amino acids. But how, you might ask, are specific collagen peptides better than native collagen? Let’s dive into an explanation of a very complex process. ...
How are lipids used an energy source by the body? Explain how excess dietary carbohydrates are converted to fat in the body. How does digestion and absorption of proteins, carbohydrates and lipids differ? Also mention where in the digestive system does each take place. ...
How does a cell produce proteins? Why do organelles need to import proteins? What is the Golgi apparatus? Describe the function of this organelle. What is the role of Golgi bodies as a cell organelle? What organelles are involved in protein synthesis? State the organelle that is used for pr...
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 ...
Protein is one of three macronutrients the body needs in large quantities, the other two being carbohydrates and fats. Amino acids are the “building blocks” of proteins. Much like you build with and take apart LEGO bricks to build different things, the body regularly and non-destructively dis...
The parenteral route includes intravascular (IV), Intramuscular (IM) and subcutaneous (SC) routes of administration. The parenteral routes are used for drugs that are poorly absorbed or that are unstable in the GI tract. The parenteral routes are used in unconscious patients or when a fast ...
Paneth cells are specialized epithelial cells located at the base of the small intestinal crypts that produce antimicrobial proteins and lectins. MYD88 signalling by Paneth cells is required for the expression of regenerating islet-derived protein 3γ (REG3γ), REG3β, CRP-ductin and resistin-lik...
Why? It all comes down to how your body metabolizes protein and its building block, amino acids. Surplus carbohydrates are stored in the body as glycogen and surplus fat is stored as as body fat, but amino acids aren’t squirreled away to be used later. Rather, after our body uses ...
Carbohydrates are vital for energy during intense matches and training sessions. Whole grains, fruits, and vegetables should be staples on every player’s plate. They provide the necessary fuel to keep athletes energized throughout their games. Proteins are equally important for muscle repair post-...
