Myths About High Blood Pressure

Thursday, 29 May, 2014 11:27 Written by StudyinUkraine.eu

1) Myth. High blood pressure runs in my family. There is nothing I can do. I will get it too. High blood pressure can run in families. If your parents or close blood relatives have had high blood pressure, you are more likely to develop it, too. However, lifestyle choices have allowed many people with […]

What is Pulmonary Hypertension?

Thursday, 29 May, 2014 11:23 Written by StudyinUkraine.eu

Is pulmonary hypertension different than high blood pressure? The human body has two circulation systems: Systemic (delivering oxygen throughout the body) Pulmonary (receiving oxygen from the lungs) Typically “blood pressure,” “high blood pressure” and “hypertension” refer to the systemic pressure throughout your body. Systemic blood pressure measures the pressure in your brachial artery (found in your […]

Blood Pressure Readings

Thursday, 29 May, 2014 11:19 Written by StudyinUkraine.eu

Blood pressure is typically recorded as two numbers, written as a ratio like this: Read as “117 over 76 millimeters of mercury” Systolic The top number, which is also the higher of the two numbers, measures the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats (when the heart muscle contracts). Diastolic The bottom number, which […]

4. Catabolism of sugars other than glucose 4.2 Degradation of fructose and sucrose The fructolysis pathway Fructose intolerance Sucrose is produced from sugar cane and sugar beet, which contain it in high concentrations (15–20%). In a typical Western diet, it may amount to as much as 20% of the total carbohydrate intake. Sucrose consists of […]

6. The respiratory chain 6.5 The energetics of electron transport Redox reactions can be compartmentalized to produce a measurable voltage The redox potential (?E) is proportional to the free energy (?G) Redox potentials and free energies in the respiratory chain In discussing the driving forces of electron transport above, we have referred to both the […]

13. Hormonal regulation of metabolism 13.3 Other hormones Glucagon and epinephrine act via G-protein-coupled receptors The glucagon and epinephrine receptors activate adenylate cyclase and protein kinase A Metabolic effects of protein kinase A Glucocorticoids and thyroid hormones act on nuclear hormone receptors to activate transcription DNA binding by thyroid hormone receptors Metabolic effects of glucocorticoid […]

Outline of the pathway

Friday, 16 May, 2014 12:12 Written by StudyinUkraine.eu

9. The hexose monophosphate shunt 9.1 Outline of the pathway The previous chapters have shown that glucose-6-phosphate has a central place in carbohydrate metabolism. This chapter describes yet another pathway that starts with this key metabolite, namely the hexose monophosphate shunt, or HMS for short. Since this pathway comprises both pentoses and hexoses, it is […]
