Vitamin

Vitamins are a group of organic nutrients, required in small quantities for a variety of biochemical functions that, generally, cannot be synthesized by the body and must therefore be supplied in the diet.

Breast Cancer

Cancer is a condition where cells have lost the normal control mechanism, so that the growth of abnormal, rapid and uncontrolled. Breast cancer is cancer of breast tissue.

According to World Health Organization (WHO) it is included in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) with code number 17. This is the most common type of cancer that affects women. Men can also develop breast cancer, although less likely than 1 in 1000.

Obesity

Obesity means having too much body fat that may effect health.

Etiology

~ Endocrine factor such hypothiroidism

Hypertention

Hypertension (HTN or HT), also known as high blood pressure (HBP), is a long term medical condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is persistently elevated. High blood pressure usually does not cause symptoms. Long term high blood pressure, however, is a major risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke, heart failure, peripheral vascular disease, vision loss, and chronic kidney disease.

Diabetes Foot Pain

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the most common chronic diseases in the world. The number of cases continues to increase.

If it is uncontrolled, diabetes can lead to acute and chronic complications. Acute complications of diabetes such as diabetic ketoacidosis and hyperosmolar hyperglycemia status, whereas chronic

Myoglobin

Myoglobin, a hemeprotein present in heart and skeletal muscle, functions both as a reservoir for oxygen, and as an oxygen carrier that increases the rate of transport of oxygen within the muscle cell.

Myoglobin consists of a single polypeptide chain that is structurally similar to the individual subunit polypeptide chains of the hemo globin molecule. This homology makes myoglobin a useful model for interpreting some of the more complex properties of hemoglobin.

Hemoglobin

Hemoglobin is found exclusively in red blood cells (RBCs), where its main function is to transport oxygen (O2) from the lungs to the capillaries of the tissues. Hemoglobin A, the major hemoglobin in adults, is composed of four polypeptide chains held together by noncovalent interactions.Each subunit has stretches of  a helical structure, and a heme-binding pocket similar to that described for myoglobin. However, the tetrameric hemoglobin molecule is structurally and functionally more complex than myoglobin. For example, hemoglobin

Globular Protein

Hemeproteins are a group of specialized proteins that contain heme as a tightly bound prosthetic group. The role of the heme group is dictated by the environment created by the three-dimensional structure of the protein. In hemo globin and myoglobin, the two most abundant hemeproteins in humans, the heme group serves to reversibly bind oxygen.

Treatment of Iron Deficiency Anemia

There are some optional available to treat iron deficiency anemia such as supplements or foods.

Iron supplements

This supplement can help restore the iron level in body. For the best impact, the patients need to take the supplement before meal (empty stomach) to increase the absorption. The supplement is needed for several months and may cause constipation. The most common supplement is ferrous sulphate.

Iron Deficiency Anemia

Iron deficiency anemia is the most common nutritional anemia. It occurs when your body does not have enough iron. Body needs iron to make RBCs and Hemoglobin. In body, Hb carry oxygen to your tissue. Also, you need oxygen to form energy (ATP). In children, iron deficiency anemia usually is caused by helminthes.

Glycogen Metabolism

Glycogen is a very lage branched polymer that readily mobilized storage form of glucose. Our body needs energy. It is accumulated in response to insulin and broken down into glucose
