Researchers can manipulate the genes of a mouse so that a single gene in a single tissue either produces an inactive protein (a

knockout mouse) or produces a protein that is always (constitutively) active. What effects on metabolism would you predict for mice with these genetic changes?

Answer:

1) The genetic changes can lead to a reduction in the capacity of the mice to move glycogen at its branches points and lowers blood glucose levels between meals.

2) Genetic changed can lead to a decrease in the capacity to lower blood glucose due to the knock out of the hexokinase gene leading to elevated levels in the bloodstream.

(c) A knockout of FBPase2 will result in elevated levels of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate in

liver favoring the glycolytic pathway and inhibiting gluconeogenesis by the decrease of fructose 1,6-

bisphosphatase-1 activity

(d) An active FBPase-2 will now favor gluconeogenesis and this inhibits glycolysis. I.e. a decrease in PFK-1 activity while increasing FBPase-1 activity simultaneously.

Clinical indications for the use of adrenergic drugs stem mainly from their effects on the heart, blood vessels, and bronchi. Th
uranmaximum [27]

Answer: Adrenergic drugs are used both in the emergency treatment of Myocardial infarction, Asthma attack and Anaphylaxis T/F.

Explanation:

Andrenergic drugs acts by blocking renin release,and interfers with synthesis and release of Nor-epinephrine (Nor-adrenaline) thereby helping to reduce the peripheral vascular resistance and lowering the blood pressure.example; Methyldopa.

As a bronchodilator in asthma attack, Adrenergic drugs relax bronchial muscle spasm then dilate the bronchial trees thereby allowing proper ventilation of the lungs example: Aminophylline

Adrenergic drugs like epinephrine are used in anaphylaxis/ allergic reactions as well as hypersensitivity reactions to inhibit the action of histamines and as such relieve allergic reactions.

In the infamous anthrax attacks of 2001, several letters were received at the offices of two U.S. senators and verious new media
Len [333]

Answer:

The dry-out material contains spores of anthrax-causing bacteria

Explanation:

<em>Anthrax is a disease caused by a bacteria known as Bacillus anthracis. Susceptible animals get infected by anthrax when the spore of the bacteria gets into their bodies, become activated, multiply and produce toxins.</em>

The spore serves primarily as a propagating structure and also as an agent for transmitting infections. It can be transmitted by air, water, food or any other means. Bacterial spores usually have the capability to tolerate harsh environmental conditions and only become inactivated when conditions are favourable.

The dry granular powdery material constituent of the letters received by the U.S. senators must have been spores of <em>Bacillus anthrasis</em>
