Are triglycerides dengerous

Biology

Hatshy [7]3 years ago

They are not something that you prevent from being made in your body. They are automatically made when you eat food that is not automatically converted into calories. This is used for energy later on for you body.

But too much of triglycerides is bad for you. This condition is called hypertriglyceridemia. Your doctor can detect if you have this condition by simply running a lipid panel (a blood test) that measures your overall cholesterol, you LDL and HDL cholesterol, and also measuring your triglycerides.

If you do take this test, they will make you fast for about 8 hours. They make you do this because triglycerides are usually lowest after you fast but goes up really high after a big meal (like a Thanksgiving Dinner!).

(Extra: your triglycerides are measured in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) and if your levels are:

BELOW 150 -----------------Healthy

150-199 -----------------------Borderline

200-499 ---------------------High

500+ --------------------------Very High


Most people are under 200, so in the end, you don't have to worry about your triglyceride levels.

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

Relaxation of the dartos muscle.

Explanation:

Testes are present in scrotum outside the pelvic cavity to maintain the temperature about 2-3 degrees Celsius below the body temperature as required for sperm production. Dartos muscle is the layer of smooth muscle located in the superficial fascia. The contraction of dartos muscle serves to make the skin of the scrotum wrinkled and tight.

During hot weather, the dartos muscle relaxes and makes the surface of scrotum less wrinkled to increase the loss of the heat from its surface. The increased heat loss from the surface of scrotum due to relaxed dartos muscles keeps the testes protected from heat.

You have two carts, one which is empty and has mass m. The second cart is of the same mass but
Ahat [919]

Their kinetic energies would be the same. The cart is empty and has a mass m. The second cart is of the same mass but loaded with twice the mass of the empty cart. 1 joule of work or energy is equal to the work done by a force of one newton acting through one meter.

<h3>What is kinetic energy? </h3>

A moving item or particle might have the power of a certain sort called kinetic energy. When work, which entails the transfer of energy, is done on an object by applying a net force, that object acquires kinetic energy. Kinetic energy, which depends on an item or particle's mass and velocity of motion, is a property of motion. Any combination of vibration, axis rotation, translation (or movement along a route from one place to another), and translation are all examples of motion.

The kinetic energy of each would be equal.

This is because the force, F, acting on them moves the same distance, d, hence the work done by the force is W = Fd.

Using the ideas of work-kinetic energy, let's now

W = K, where K is the difference in the kinetic energy of the carts.

Given that the effort done was the same for both carts, the change in kinetic energy would also be equal.

Since they start at rest, K = K' - K = K' - 0 = K'.

Therefore, the kinetic energies of the carts would be the same.
