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?

Weight loss would improve their general health and wellbeing. If 35 % of the body mass of this 96 kg adult consists of TGs (in adipose tissue), what is the total available fuel reserve, in kJ and kcal, in the form of TGs? 2. This 96 kg adult decides to begin a starvation diet to lose weight. They aim to reduce their weight to 75 kg, which will be a weight loss of 21 kg. If the only source of nutrient energy for this 96 kg adult is the oxidation of fatty acids stored at TGs, how long (in days plus hours) will it take for this person to lose 21 kg of their body weight under starvation conditions? The daily energy expenditure for this 96 kg adult is 8700 kJ. This is equivalent to the recommended Australian average daily energy intake of 8700 kJ. 3.

When serum cholesterol concentration is low, the synthesis of cholesterol in the liver is inhibited, and the synthesis of cell receptors is increased. Serum cholesterol level controls the formation of cholesterol in the liver by regulating proteins that synthesize cholesterol. O When serum cholesterol concentration is high, the synthesis of cholesterol in the liver is inhibited, and the synthesis of cell receptors is increased. Serum cholesterol level controls the formation of cholesterol in the liver by regulating enzymes that synthesize cholesterol. When serum cholesterol concentration is high, the synthesis of cholesterol in the liver is inhibited, and the synthesis of cell receptors is decreased.
