In the 1930's a chemical known as DNP was touted as en effective diet pill. Weight loss was dramatic in patients taking this drug. However, to quote Efraim Racker (A New Look at Mechanisms in Bioenergetics, Academic Press, 1976, p. 155), ..."the treatment eliminated not only the fat but also the patients,... This discouraged physicians for awhile..." This drug promotes weight loss by causing the leakage of H* across the inner mitochondrial membrane. Which of the following would you expect to see in patients taking DNP? [Select the best answer.] decreased ability to produce ATP increased ability to produce ATP decreased ability to use the Citric Acid Cycle to produce ATP slowing down the Citric Acid Cycle.

I am creating a medical scaffold made out of TPU to surgically implant around the pancreas for diabetic patients. The scaffold will have have capsules of islet beta cells which will diffuse into the pancreas to create a functional pancreas. I will use the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) technique to determine the specific surface area and porosity of the scaffold material. In the context of the TPU scaffold, the BET technique will provide crucial insights into its porosity and its potential to facilitate the infusion of beta cells into the pancreas. Can you explain the expected/ideal results from the BET test and how the test will help the design process of this medical scaffold.
