Hypertension is one of the major risk factors for the development of cardiovascular diseases including stroke and may also have a role in the development of vascular cognitive impairment and vascular dementia [1, 2]. Angiotensin I-converting enzyme (EC 3.4.15.1; ACE) plays an important role in the rennin-angiotensin system and it is a carboxyl-terminal dipeptidyl exopeptidase that catalyzes the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II [3-6]. ACE converts an inactive form of decapeptide, angiotensin I, to a potent vasoconstrictor, octapeptide, angiotensin II, in addition; since the ACE is a multifunctional enzyme it also catalyzes the degradation of bradykinin, which is known as a vasodilator [4, 7]. Therefore, inhibition of ACE …show more content…
Secondary or primary metabolites produced by these organisms may be potential bioactive compounds of interest in the food and neutraceutical industries. The worldwide demand is growing for seaweeds as useful resource for food ingredients and processed foods [22, 23]. Therefore, algae can be a very interesting natural source of new compounds with biological activities that could be used as functional ingredients. E. cava, a kind of brown alga (Laminariaceae) that is found abundantly in the sub tidal regions of Jeju Island, Korea and Japan [24]. It is plentifully produced Jeju Island of Korea for commercial purposes. This brown seaweed is popular in Korea and Japan as a food ingredient, supplement of animal feed and fertilizers [25]. In addition, increasing number of scientific papers published for last few years highlighting that various biological activities and their possible industrial applications of the brown seaweed E. cava.
Polyphenol has been emerging as one major category of natural products that is important to human health. Increasing scientific evidence shows that polyphenols are good antioxidants, are effective in preventing cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases, and can also be used as chemo-preventing agents for cancer [26]. Phlorotannins (brown-algal polyphenols) are the least studied group of tannins and are found only in brown algae. Phlorotannins, a subgroup of tannins, are produced entirely by polymerization of
The Medicines Act 1968:- The Medicines Act controls the manufacture and supply of medicines for human and veterinary use. The act defines three categories of the supply of drugs; Prescription only medicines, Pharmacy Medicine, and General sales list medicines the act controls
“Non-medical prescribing is prescribing which is taken by a health professional who is not a doctor” (Non-medical prescribing 2012).To become a non-medical prescriber the relevant training must be undertaken to ensure the patients’ safety is most important. The health care professional who is the non-medical prescribers is only legally allowed to prescribe within their area of expertise and they must remain competent within that area, through maintenance of various continuing education and training programmes.

Hypervigilance by definition is,“A worldview based on a “threat based” biologically driven perspective in which everyday events unfold as potentially dangerous to officer safety.” (Gilmartin, 2002 p.6). A police officer works in an environment where they have to be reactive and it is hard to turn off. This can exhausting and can lead some to depression. Officers in turn will work side jobs to fulfill the need to constantly have the feeling of being hypervigilant and be around their work family. However, this can cause issues within a home or in a relationship. It can take a negative toll on the body physically. It causes increased blood pressure, respiration, body temperature and other functions. (2002). It is imperative that an officer finds
What is Love medicine? Love Medicine is a fiction novel by Louise Erdrich. The book is based on Native American stories, which cover three generations, fifty years, several families, and there are many relationships. Love Medicine is a collection of short fiction stories of “people that are living on Chippewa reservation in North Dakota”. Louise Erdrich makes the story with use of flashback. Love Medicine is not on particularly one theme but there are some stories on other themes such as, true identity, religion, family, love etc. Love Medicine is the creative formation of stories and characters which allow for the original creation of love. Each character exposes his or her individuality
ACE, which stands for Angiotensin Converting Enzyme, is an enzyme that is classified as a kinase II compound (1). ACE inhibitors are antihypertensive agents that work to slow down the activity of the ACE enzyme. ACE inhibitor medications are used to help patients with high blood pressure as well as those who are high risk of getting coronary artery disease, post heart attack, kidney disease and diabetes (2). ACE inhibitors are membrane-bound dipeptidyl carboxypeptidases that regulate the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) (3). There are two forms of ACE in humans, somatic ACE and testis ACE, which regulate blood pressure (3). ACE Inhibitors are found in endothelial, epithelial or neuroepithelial cells as well as the brain (1). The physiological
I’m writing this email just to let you know that if you notice that I haven’t been putting more effort into my assgiment is because I have been having horrible headaches because of a lot of personal things going on with my family in general, and because of this my doctor have found out that my blood pressure has been higher and they had put me in blood pressure pills. So everytime I see that i get frustrated with a homework I just do the best I can.
In this assignment I am going to describe two physiological disorder in details, the details that I am going to go into is what the disorder is, signs and symptoms, cause of the disorder, physiological changes as a result of treatment and the factors influencing the development of the disorder, explain the signs and symptoms related to two named physiological disorders, describe the investigations that care carried out to enable the diagnosis of these physiological disorders and assess possible difficulties involved in the diagnosis of the disorders from their signs and symptoms.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a worldwide problem that is currently three times higher for African Americans, Hispanics, Pacific Islanders, American Indians and seniors (The National Kidney Foundation, 2013). CKD occurs when the kidneys are damaged by a pathogen or injury and they can no longer adequately maintain proper levels of regulated chemicals in the bloodstream. There are many risk associated with CKD. According to the National Kidney Foundation, two of the major risks are Chronic Renal Failure (CRF) and Cardiovascular Disease. Currently twenty million American adults have CKD and millions of others are at increased risk. Age has no barrier on getting CKD. People with pre-existing health issues, and a part of certain population

In this assignment I will be explain two different health psychology issues and explaining them. The two different issues I have decided to talk about are eating disorders and childbirth. I will then compare the two health psychology issues in relation to their common themes and also their different.
There is a pair of kidneys in the human body. They are situated towards the back of the body under the ribs, just at the level of the waist where one on either side of the body. Each kidney is composed of about one million units which are called nephrons and each nephron consists of two parts: a filter which is called the glomerulus and a tubule leading out from the nephron (Cameron 1999). According to Marshall and Bangert (2008) the kidneys have three major functions. Firstly, the kidneys are excretion of waste from plasma in the blood. The second function is that, they maintain of extracellular fluid volume and composition. Lastly, the kidneys have a role in hormone synthesis.
Hypertension is the medical term for high blood pressure. A normal blood pressure is 120/80. A blood pressure reading higher or equal to 140/90 is considered abnormally high. Elevated blood pressure means your heart is working harder than normal, putting both your heart and arteries under great strain. High blood pressure is serious business.
Algae is considered to be one of the stable, traditional food for people in Mexico (Spirulina platensis) and for people in Chad (Spirulina maxima) (Kuhad et al. 1997). Spirulina is one of the cheapest sources of protein and essential vitamins(Babu and Rajasekaran 1991). It is also rich in ß-carotene and dietary gamma- linolenic acid (GLA) (Chronakis and Madsen 2011). Spirulina is declared as a GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) (FDA, 2003). Spirulina is produced extensively around different parts of the world (3000 tons/year) and used in food and animal feed(Gouveia et al. 2008).
