Carbohydrates are one of the essential macromolecules that play a crucial role in the functioning of living organisms. They serve as a primary source of energy and are involved in various biological processes. The synthesis of carbohydrates is a complex and fascinating process that occurs in living organisms, allowing them to produce and utilize these vital molecules. In this blog post, we will ...
PiT1, initially identified as retrovirus receptor, is a transmembrane protein of the sodium-phosphate co-transporter family. PiT1 also has independent functions of its role as a phosphate transporter, notably on cell proliferation, adhesion or apoptosis. These observations suggest that interactions of PiT1 with other molecular partners may impact not only the homeostasis of inorganic phosphate, ...
Catalysis Enzymes are a class of biological catalysts. They govern many catalytic processes such as metabolism, nutrition, and energy conversion of organisms. Most of the reactions closely related to life processes are enzyme-catalyzed reactions. These properties of the enzyme enable the intricate process of material metabolism in the cell to proceed in an orderly manner, and to adapt material ...
Treatment for shoulder pain Gabi Zeilig, MD, Dept of Neurological Rehabilitation The Chaim Sheba Medical Center, Tel Hashomer, Israel. Purpose of the study: to test the efficacy of the TerraQuant medical device on shoulder pain resulting from inflammation (OA, Tendonitis, Bursitis). Background: TerraQuant is a unique device which combines low level pulse laser therapy (LLLT), pulsating ...
Sources of Fat Fat, also known as triglyceride, is made by condensing one molecule of glycerol and three fatty acids. The source of fatty acids in the body: one is the body's own synthesis, and the other is the food supply. Some unsaturated fatty acids cannot be synthesized by the body and depend on food supply, called essential fatty acids. There are mainly two kinds, one is the ω-3 series ...
Canagliflozin is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. It is a third-line medication to be tried after metformin, a first-line medication for type 2 diabetes. It is used together with exercise and diet. It is not recommended in type 1 diabetes. Mechanism action of Canagliflozin Canagliflozin is a sodium-glucose cotransporter (SGLT2) inhibitor. Glucose filtered in the renal tubular lumen is ...
Life is all about working out. Moderate exercise not only strengthens the body, but also improves the metabolic state and slows the progression of diseases. However, different times of exercise may have different impacts, and it is an intriguing scientific question how to determine the best time to exercise. Although the influence of exercise on energy metabolism is well recognized, there is ...
Graphene first appeared in the laboratory in 2004. At that time, two British scientists, Andre Geim and Prof Kostya Novoselov, discovered that they could get thinner and thinner graphite flakes in a very simple way. They peeled the graphite flakes from the graphite, and then glued the two sides of the flakes to a special tape. When the tape was peeled off, the graphite flakes were divided in two. ...
A prematurely aged brain has suffered years of abuse from our ever-increasingly toxic environment and unhealthy lifestyles. There is extensive research that shows HBOT may have an effect in rejuvenating a patient’s brain by stimulating the production of new blood vessels. Increased oxygen in the blood flow will re-energize dormant cells in the brain and create new ones. Oxygen to ...
