Insulin is a hormone produced by beta cells in the pancreas. It has three important functions:1 Allow glucose to pass into cells, where it is used for energy. Suppress excess production of sugar in the liver and kidneys. Suppress breakdown of fat for energy. ...
What is Sex-Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG)? SHBG is a glycoprotein, a molecule that consists of a carbohydrate plus a protein, and is produced mainly in your liver. It binds to three sex hormones found in both men and women: estrogen, dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and testosterone. Its job is...
SHBG is a glycoprotein, a molecule that consists of a carbohydrate plus a protein, and is produced mainly in your liver. It binds to three sex hormones found in both men and women: estrogen, dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and testosterone. Its job is to transport these hormones throughout your bl...
What type of macromolecule is adenosine triphosphate? Which type of monosaccharide do body cells use for energy? What is the structure of glucose? What are sugars in biochemistry? What are glucose polymers called? What molecule is common in the catabolism of fat and glucose?
A biosimilar is not considered a “generic” in the same way that a traditional, small molecule drug (for example: ibuprofen or acetaminophen) is determined to be a generic. Biosimilars are "similar" because they are biologics that do not have to be exact copies of the active ingredient, as...
What is this molecule? CH3CH2CHCHCH3 What is a drug? What is Estrogen? Which compounds are D-monosaccharides? Which compounds are L-monosaccharides? What is a condensation polymer? What is an epoxide? What sugar is the C-3 epimer of D-sorbose?
Although this molecule is known to associate with β2M and TAP, it is largely intracellular rather than expressed at the surface [27]. Upon immune cell activation, HLA-F can bind HLA-I heavy chains and facilitate their migration to the cell surface in an open-conformation (i.e. not bound...
In recent years, anti-tumor pharmacodynamics studies have found that one of its active ingredients, the small molecule compound of rhodopsin, has a relatively strong anti-cancer effect. In vitro and in vivo anti-tumor studies have found that the compound can improve tumor treatment effects and im...
the human body needs to convert lactose into simple carbohydrates to gain its benefits because the body could not absorb the lactose molecule by itself. After conversion to its simple forms, the body can utilize lactose to form glycogen, wh...
What type of biological macromolecule is glucose? What molecule is common in the catabolism of fat and glucose? What is another name for glucose catabolism? What is the relationship between homeostasis and diabetes? What is the role of glucose in cellular energy production?
