(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The importance of relatively rapid inactivation of circulating hormone.

Introduction:

Hormone is an organic substance that is secreted by plants and animals. Hormones regulate many physiological activities. Hormone is made up of protein. It is transported in our body through circulatory system. In blood, regulation of hormone becomes half when radioactively labeled insulin is introduced into an animal. Half of the labeled hormone disappears from the blood.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The way by which the level of circulating hormone remains constant under normal conditions with respect to rapid inactivation.

Introduction:

Hormone is an organic substance that is secreted by plants and animals. Hormones regulate many physiological activities. Hormone is made up of protein. It is transported in our body through circulatory system. In blood, regulation of hormone becomes half when radioactively labeled insulin is introduced into an animal. Half of the labeled hormone disappears from the blood.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The changes that an organism makes in the level of circulating hormone.

Introduction:

what are the different classes and some examples of neuroprotectants that can be used to treat, prevent, or combat neurotoxicity/a neurotoxicant...for example, antioxidants, nutraceuticals, etc.,..?
Imagine that aldolase can react with the seven carbon molecule Sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphate (below). Use the mechanism to predict the two products generated. Please draw out the stereochemistry in a fischer projection.
Sodium borohydride (NaBH4) is a potent inhibitor of aldolase. It is known to ONLY inhibit theenzyme when it is complexed with substrate. Treatment of the enzyme alone has no effect.What is the mechanism for this inhibition? Please draw out the mechanism and show how it inhibits this.
