Chapter 2.5, Problem 5CC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
How many molecules of ghrelin are present in 1L of blood if concentration of appetite regulating hormone ghrelin is present about 1.3 x 10-10 in a blood of a fasting person?
Introduction:
Appetite regulating hormone is also known as hunger hormone. Hunger hormone is of two types: leptin and ghrelin. Leptin is a hormone made up of fat cells that help to reduce the appetite and are responsible for weight loss while ghrelin raises the appetite and also involve in gain of body weight. Ghrelin is made up of 28 amino acids produced in stomach.

Calculate all the glucose data into cmol. What is the number of cmol glucose at timepont 10.42 (19.65 g/L)?
GenAlex Medical, a leading manufacturer of medical laboratory equipment, is designing a new automated system that can detect normal levels of dissolved glucose (70. to 105 mg/dL), using a blood sample that is as small as 5.0 mL.
Calculate the minimum mass in milligrams of glucose that the new system must be able to detect.

- Enalaprilat is a competitive inhibitor of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACEACE), which cleaves the blood-pressure regulating peptide angiotensin I. ACEACE has a KM=52KM=52 μMμM for angiotensin I, which is present in plasma at a concentration of 75 μMμM.

Recall that the Na* concentration is significantly higher outside the cell than inside the cell. The symporter couples the "downhill" transport of two Na* ions into the cell to the "uphill" transport of glucose into the cell. If the Nat concentration outside the cell ([Na lout) is 141 mM and that inside the cell ([Na* lin) is 19.0 mM, and the cell potential is -52.0 mV (inside negative), calculate the maximum energy available for pumping a mole of glucose into the cell.

- A 70-kg adult human (154 lb) could meet his orher entire energy needs for one day by eating 3 moles ofglucose (540 g). (We do not recommend this.) Each mol-ecule of glucose generates 30 molecules of ATP when it isoxidized to CO2. The concentration of ATP is maintained incells at about 2 mM, and a 70-kg adult has about 25 litersof intracellular fluid. Given that the ATP concentrationremains constant in cells, calculate how many times perday, on average, each ATP molecule in the body is hydro-lyzed and resynthesized.arrow_forwardThe question is in the imagearrow_forwardFor the development of a new method in determining the glucosecontent of blood serum, you have chosen the standard Folin-Wumethod to compare your results.

View Available Hint(s)for Part A Patients would have very low levels of LDL and a low risk of heart disease. Patients would have very high LDL levels and a high risk of heart disease.

O T1 is most likely a cell that expresses a high affinity transporter for glucose. T2 is most likely a cell that expresses a high affinity transporter for glucose. T1 must be a cell expressing the insulin-dependent glucose transporter. Each transporter has a similar Vmax and therefore both T1 and T2 are the same cell type.arrow_forward
