Explain the role of enzymes in metabolic processes. What substance does the liver change into urea? How does the excretory system work with the digestive system? What is the process of the conjugation of bilirubin by the liver? Describe the histological differences between the liver and...
In the developing excretory system, one of the secreted mesenchymal factors thought to play a critical role in patterning the growth and branching of the epithelial ureteric bud is GDNF. We have tested the requirement for GDNF as a paracrine chemoattractive factor by altering its site of ...
What is the role of cofactors in enzyme function? What are the functions of the stomach? How does the liver help maintain homeostasis? What are the functions of each part of the digestive system, including if they are a tract organ or accessory, and if they do mechanical or chemical digest...
IRAKs are key proteins in chronic and acute liver diseases, and recent evidence has implicated IRAK family proteins (IRAK1, IRAK3, and IRAK4) in the progression of liver-related disorders, including alcoholic liver disease, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, hepatitis virus infection, acute liver ...
in harmony with an intestinal population of commensal bacteria which is some ten times the number of cells of the body. This homeostatic mutualism is regulated by specialized DCs that are “decision makers” of the immune system when they perform their antigen-presenting function, thus linking ...
In insects, trehalose serves as the main sugar component of haemolymph. It is synthesized in the fat body, an organ analogous to the mammalian liver, and released into the haemolymph6–8. Trehalose has been recognized to be an important osmoprotectant and a mediator of desiccation tolerance ...
in the urine, reabsorbed into the blood, or stored in the tubular cell, with all options leading to further metabolization of significant parts of this tubular inorganic arsenic [47,48]. Trivalent arsenite undergoes more efficient methylation than pentavalent arsenate in liver and kidney cells, ...
The potential use of feed supplements as immune-stimulant and growth-promoting agents in fish diets has drawn much attention. The current research investigated the effects of feeding Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) on white poplar (Populus alba L.) (WP) leaves powder as a dietary supplement ...
The body's acid-base balance is regulated by different systems in order to maintain a narrow pH range. As such, blood is slightly basic on a healthy individual, with a pH range of 7.35-7.45. The different systems that regulate blood pH include the respiratory system, the renal system,...
In biology, regulation is the process of maintaining internal and external conditions of the body. The different system associated with the regulation is metabolism, reproductive system, growth, and excretory system.Answer and Explanation: Homeostasis: Homeostasis is the state of the body to balance...
