Textbook Question
Chapter 23, Problem 3AYKA
Certain dietary supplements for weight loss contain drugs that are claimed to block the absorption of polysaccharides such as starch. If a “starch blocker” actually worked and fully prevented the absorption of carbohydrates into the bloodstream, what effects would this have on protein and lipid

How does a ketogenic diet decrease the level of urea in obese patients and increase the level of creatine in obese patients? (explain on a molecular level)
Lactose intolerance is caused by reduced production of the enzyme lactase. A variety of digestive system problems, such as celiac disease and Crohn’s disease) can also lower the production of lactase. If an individual produces low levels of the enzyme lactase, explain why they might be able to tolerate eating dairy products that contain lower levels of lactose (e.g., hard cheeses, feta cheese, and cottage cheese), but will not be able to tolerate foods with high levels of lactose (e.g., milk).
You have the task of producing 3 kilogram of porcine (pig) insulin from pig pancreases to create an emergency stockpile of insulin. You know that a typical adult pig has a 269 gram pancreas and it is possible to produce 15 micromoles of purified insulin from 1 kg of pancreatic tissue. How many fresh pig carcasses would you need to produce 3 kg of insulin?

- 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.arrow_forwardOn the right is a diagram of plasma concentration of three metabolites: glucose, B- hydroxybutyrate, and free fatty acid of an experimental animal over weeks of starvation. 4.
