Carbohydrates glycaemic index (GI)

Glycemic index estimates carbohydrates containing food based on how they increase the glucose in the body. Foods are rated by comparing them to a reference food. Foods with high glycaemic index increases blood glucose than foods with average or low glyceamic index. When taking foods with high GI, low GI foods should be combined with it in order to balance the meal. Examples of low GI foods are corn, most fruits, and yam. Medium GI foods include pita bread and whole wheat. Puffed rice, instant oatmeals are examples of foods with high GI.

Complete the flowchart to show the steps required to analyze gene activity using a microarray. preparing the cdna probe

Scilla [17]

1- Preparing the cDNA:
a- Using two different tissue samples (such as control and cancer cells), isolate mRNA.
b- For each sample, prepare complementry DNA (cDNA) from the isolated mRNA. Then fluorescent label cDNA of each sample with a different color and then mixed.

2- preparing the microarray:
a- Bind DNA fragments of different genes to microarray wells.
b- Attach ssDNA (single-stranded DNA) to microarray wells.

3- Combine the probe and the microarray samples:
Add labeled cDNA to the microarray wells.
