Pharmacology Need To Knows Drugs in use today come from three main sources: natural sources, chemical synthesis, and biotechnology. Natural sources include plants, animals, and minerals. Examples of current drugs made from plants include atropine from the roots of the belladonna plant (Atropa belladonna; deadly nightshade), digitalis from the leaves of the purple foxglove, and morphine from the seeds of the opium poppy. Animals provide a source for some drugs, particularly hormones. Drugs derived

Initially, Dylan was treated with EDTA and then DMSA. 1. What are EDTA and DMSA and how might they reduce the high levels of lead in Dylan’s tissues? EDTA ~ Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, EDTA is an aminopolycarboxylic acid; a colourless, water-soluble solid, its usefulness comes from its ability to sequester metal ions and act a chelating agent, a hexadenate ligand. Once metal ions are surrounded to the EDTA (1), they remain in solution but become less reactive, “chelation therapy” EDTA

85 gray, provided by the equation: where X is the amount of exposure, in Coulombs/ Kilogram. The dose absorbed in a certain tissue can be computed by multiplying the dose absorbed in air and the ratio of energy absorption in the medium to that of air. Deriving this equation, we can get: The ƒ factor is important in getting the absorbed dose of radiation in a given medium. It is also directly proportional to the amount of dose absorbed in a particular

jacket affect the heat absorption? A material's color affects its ability to absorb light. An object of a certain color reflects that same color but absorbs light from all the other colors. Since light is energy, the more light that an object absorbs, the more heat it absorbs. 7) Describe thee strength and weaknesses of the computer model you used in the experiment. What other parameters could you use in such an experiment to determine the effect of color on heat absorption? The strength was the

programmes to improve economic and social access to food and provision of basic services for nutritional absorption. There is considerble diversity in country performance and experiences in terms of the timing, pace and degree of economic and institutional reforms, and multiplicity of approaches and instruments used to increase economic access to food and nutritional absorption. This diversity in the national experiences of major emerging economies in providing food and nutritional

legumes also contain soluble fibers. Soluble fibers can adsorb or bind nutrients such as lipids and bile acids and decrease their absorption, which leads to decreased serum lipids. Some of their function is to bind water causing a decrease in transit time and an increase in fecal volume. They also have the ability to form gels that lead to a decrease in nutrient absorption. Examples of dietary fibers classified as insoluble are cellulose, lignin, and some hemicelluloses.
