Describe the process through which hippuric acid is formed in the body. Please explain the relevance.
Hemoglobin molecules exposed to high levels of glucose areconverted to glycated products. The most common, referred to as hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C), contains a b-chain glycatedadduct. Because red blood cells last about 3 months, HbA1Cconcentration is a useful measure of a patient’s blood sugarcontrol. In general terms, describe why and how HbA1Cforms.
What is the approximate rate of change of A340 measured? i.e.
ΔA340 / min = __________
What rate of change of A340 would you predict if 30 ml of the ADH solution was tested in the same way (i.e. half the amount of protein) ? i.e.
ΔA340 / min = __________
What rate of change of A340 would you predict if 60 ml of a 0.5 μM ADH solution was tested in the same way? i.e.
