To review:
The conclusion about the fructose-fed mice versus those without fructose from the given data in graph and impact of omega-3 fatty acids on memory in this test.
Introduction:
Fructose is a simple fruit sugar mainly found in plants and is a
Animal models are generally used to study the effect of the diet on the health of an individual. A trained mice to escape a maze chamber was used to study the effects fructose consumption on the memory. In the experiment the mice was fed with chow, which was supplemented with omega-3-fatty acid, fructose solution or both.
The results obtained after 6 months have been shown below in the form of a bar graph. In the graph shown below, * represents the probability value less than 0.05 and ** represents the probability value less than 0.01.

- Subjects who consumed a meal containing a high amylose:amylopectin ratio showed a lower increase in blood glucose levels than subjects who consumed a meal with a low amylose:amylopectin ratio. Explain.arrow_forwardGive typing answer with explanation and conclusion to all parts Why are B vitamins, such as B12, folate (B9), B1 etc. deficiencies or malabsorption, important to consider when treating depression or anxiety? What is the mechanism (give biochemical explanation as it relates to B vitamins) that leads to depression when those vitamins are missing? Furthermore, research what conditions can deplete certain B vitamins, cause deficiencies, or reduce absorptions (possible examples are eating a vegan diet, being of old age, taking certain medications for another medical condition, or drinking too much alcohol, etc.). 400 wordsarrow_forwardFor each of the following examples, indicate whether the drug is acting on physical process, chemical process or enzymatic system (your answer should be only; Physical, Chemical or Enzymatic). A. A drug is used as an antidote in lead poisoning and acts by binding to lead particles in body (chelation therapy). B. A drug acts to reduce flatulence and acts by reducing the surface tension of intestinal gas bubbles in the GI tract (e.g. Simethicone). C. A drug competes with alpha-glucosidase in intestine to reduce glucose conversion from disaccharides (e.g. Acarbose).arrow_forward

This is where you come in! The students are stuck at this point and really need your help! Main Goal: Convert the experimental glucose concentration (provided in the table below) from mM (millimolar) to g/100 mL. Hints & Tips Take the 1/100 dilution factor into consideration Molarity will open the doors for you to get to grams. Once at M assume 1L of solution. (Hint: this will help you when converting from M to moles) You will also need to calculate the molar mass of glucose which has the formula C6H12O6 There are 5 steps in total Task 1: Write a step-by-step guide with key words for the Chem 2 students on how to do these calculations. You can use diagrams, a table or just type the steps out.

The brain receives information about stomach stretch from: a. sensory receptors on the skin of the abdomen b. the hormone angiotensin c. visual feedback d. the vagus nerve Phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PNMT) is an enzyme that converts norepinephrine into epinephrine. Which of the following would you expect after treatment with an inhibitor of PNMT? a. Cells that normally use dopamine as a neurotransmitter would now release epinephrine b. Cells that normally use epinephrine as a neurotransmitter would now release norepinephrine c. Cells that normally use epinephrine as a neurotransmitter would stop releasing neurotransmitterarrow_forward
- A nurse is caring for a patient with refractoryepilepsy. To enhance medical management,a ketogenic diet has been prescribed. Ineducating the patient about dietary energysources, all of the following statements aretrue, except:a. Proteins consist of polymers of nucleic acids.b. Fat provides more kilocalories per gram thanprotein.c. A high-fat diet may cause increased serumcholesterol levels.d. Starch is an example of a carbohydrate.arrow_forwardList and explain 5 important biochemical factors that could determine whether a person is feeling full or hungry (explain in details how these factors function)arrow_forwardAssume that you have genetically modified the gene for the glucagon receptor in a rat. Theextracellular region of the modified glucagon receptor can still bind to glucagon. However, thecytoplasmic region of the modified glucagon receptor can only bind and activate an inhibitoryG protein in response to glucagon binding. Describe how lipid metabolism in this geneticallymodified rat responds to starvation. Briefly explain your reasonings pleasearrow_forward
- The brain is fueled almost exclusively by glucose. Using this fact, would it be a good idea to express glucose-1-phosphatase in muscle? What type of phenotype would be exhibited by a mouse expressing glucose-1-phosphatase in muscle?arrow_forwardGive a few food sources of each type of fat: saturated, trans, PUFA, and MUFA. Describe the difference between an EAR, RDA, and AI. Know the AMDR and DRI for total fat and PUFAs. Know recommendations for saturated, trans, MUFAs, and cholesterol. Describe the importance of LA and ALA. Describe eicosanoids and give examples of functions in the human body. Give examples of traditional vs newer(ish) perspectives on fat in the diet and its impact on health. Describe typical recommendations and rationale behind a high-Fat vs a low-fat dietarrow_forwardYou are a researcher seeking to determine if an experimental drug can effectively treat hyperglycemia, a condition characterized by excess glucose in the blood, often associated with Type I diabetes. You select 24 hyperglycemia patients to study, and you give half of them a pill containing the drug you are testing and the other half a placebo (a pill that lacks the drug ingredient). After an evening of fasting, you measure the amount of glucose in their blood the next morning. Write the null and alternative hypotheses appropriate for your study. Which treatment is your control group, and why does your experimental design require a control group? Describe the structure of a carbohydrate, and what are the functions of carbohydrates in the body? What test that we have used before in lab could you use to measure the amount of glucose in their blood? Describe how you would use this test to measure the amounts of glucose in their blood serum samples. Identify the dependent variable…arrow_forward
