The carboxylation of pyruvate by pyruvate carboxylase occurs at a very low rate unless acetyl-CoA, a positive allosteric modulat

or, is present. If you have just eaten a meal rich in fatty acids (triacylglycerols) but low in carbohydrates (glucose), how does this regulatory property shut down the oxidation of glucose to CO₂ and H₂O but increase the oxidation of acetyl-CoA derived from fatty acids?

Answer:

The mechanism shut down the oxidation of glucose to CO2 and H2O but increases the oxidation of acetyl CoA derived from fatty acids by Tri carboxylic acid cycle.

Explanation:

When a person eat meal rich in fatty acid,the ingested fatty acid will undergo breakdown to form large amount of acetyl CoA.The so formed Acetyl CoA  undergo oxidation by TCA cycle to generate CO2 and H2O.

   on the other hand when a person has eaten a meal that is low in carbohydrates(glucose),at that time less glucose molecule will undergo glycolysis and oxidative de carboxylation to form less amount of acetyl CoA.The acetyl CoA accumulates rather than going further oxidation.

   As the meal contain  low amount of glucose after a certain period of time the glucose level will be depleted.So to maintain homeostasis of body glucose level the gluconeogenesis process is stimulated.

 The conversion of pyruvate to oxaloacetate,one of the most important reaction of gluconeogenesis is boosted by the  high cellular level of  accumulated acetyl CoA.

Improved bone regeneration through amniotic membrane loaded with buccal fat pad-derived MSCs as an adjuvant in maxillomandibular
muminat

Mesenchymal stem cells and HAM together may improve bone repair, especially in the horizontal dimension. Additionally, this technology lessens secondary bone resorption and the quantity of collected autogenous bone.

HAM:

  • Background: Human amniotic membranes (HAMs), a biological membrane with potential for cell therapy, osteogenesis, and healing, have come under the spotlight as a way to improve the results of treating bone abnormalities. The goal of the current study is to clinically evaluate the possibility of HAM loaded with stem cells from the buccal fat pad (BFSCs) as an osteogenic covering for only bone transplants to maxillomandibular bone lesions.
  • Materials and methods: The current investigation included nine patients with jaw bone abnormalities. Iliac crest bone graft with HAM covering (n = 5) and iliac bone grafts coated with HAM loaded with BFSCs (n = 4) were the two study groups that the patients were divided into. Cone beam computed tomography was carried out for radio morphometric characterization five months after the grafting and before the installation of the implant.
  • Results: The mean increase in bone width was found to be significantly greater in the HAM + BFSCs group (4.42 ± 1.03 mm versus3.07 ± 0.73 mm, p < 0.05). Further, the changes in vertical dimension were greater in the HAM + BFSCs group (4.66 ± 1.06mm versus 4.14 ± 1.03 mm, p > 0.05).

How do Earth climate region differ
I am Lyosha [343]

ANSWER:GIVEN BELOW

The climate of a region depends on many factors including the amount of sunlight it receives, its height above sea level, the shape of the land, and how close it is to oceans. Since the equator receives more sunlight than the poles, climate varies depending on its distance from the equator.

lora16 [44]
An egg is fertile when it ovulates. That's three days so male sperm gets to the egg quicker but it dies quicker too. So if couples have sex before ovulation by the time the egg is fertile the male sperm is dead which leaves the female sperm. This is why there may be more women than men.
