The following points highlight the top two stages for regulation of lipid metabolism. The stages are: 1. Regulation of Lipogenesis 2. Regulation of Ketogenesis. Regulation of Lipogenesis: a. Lipogenesis is concerned with the conversion of glucose and intermediate such as pyruvate, lactate and acetyl-CoA to fat. b. The rate of lipogenesis is high in case of a diet containing a [...]
In this article we will discuss about the Principle and Methods of Test of Urea in Urine. Principle of Test of Urea in Urine: Urea is split into ammonia and CO2 by the enzyme urease present in plants at the optimum temperature and pH. Ammonium carbonate formed as a result of ammonia and carbon dioxide shows the alkali characteristic by [...]
The below mentioned article provides a short note on Proteinuria. The glomerular membrane permits only a very small amount of the normal plasma proteins. The glomerular filtrate normally contains 10 to 25 mg protein per 100 ml. This is almost completely reabsorbed by the tubular epithelial cells. 150 mg is the upper limit of normal daily protein excretion in the [...]
