such as metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and obesity. It is also a predictive factor of inflammation and fibrosis. All the key elements required for vitamin D function and metabolism e.g. vitamin D receptor and the two enzymes 1-alpha-hydroxylase and 24-hydroxylase are also present in the heart. Vitamin D could be involved in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease by exerting regulatory roles in vascular inflammation, proliferation and calcification, renin-angiotensin aldosterone

Glycolysis is the first stage of the breakdown of one molecule of glucose. Within this step, the glucose ring becomes phosphorylated. Phosphorylation is a process of adding a phosphate group to a molecule, which is therefore resulting in ATP. Hexokinase is used within this stage of the reaction to catalyse the phosphorylation of a 6-membered glucose ring. As a result of this, a molecule called Glucose-6-phosphate

If those same probes were to be launched to the stars, however, they would take thousands of years to reach them! The distances to the stars are huge So huge, in fact, that the light from the nearest star to the Sun, a triple star system known as Alpha, Beta and Proxima Centauri, takes over four and a quarter years to get here. Since, according to special relativity, nothing
Risk Management Process Identify Risk Risk identification, focuses on identifying which risks will affect a project, by looking at the project plan, the work breakdown structure, the project charter and other project related documents (PMBOK, 2008). Broad risk categories are human resources, technology changes, quality and performance issues, customers, vendors, management, funding, political, legal, market forces and environmental issues (PMBOK, 2008). Risk identification involves forward and creative
Throughout 1918 and 1919, influenza spread quickly in three waves killing an estimated 50 million to 100 million people worldwide. With the best-recorded first case having occurred in Fort Riley, the contagious flu spread across military camps around the United States. Due to the world war, the influenza virus was brought over to Europe where it infected people in nearly every country. This disease would end up causing one of the greatest pandemics in human history, but would also catalyze great
Introduction Bacteria are grouped into two categories as Gram positive and Gram negative. The bacteria that retain the color of the primary stain are gram positive and the bacteria that lose the color of primary stain are called gram negative bacteria. Gram positive cells have a thicker peptidoglycan layer and doesn 't contain the outer membrane. Gram positive cells will retain the primary stain of crystal violet because they have a thick outer layer of peptidoglycan that traps the dye among its
shock wave is caused by very rapid increase in volume as gas forms and the shock wave travels a hundred meters per second and they give off large amounts of heat. (Burreson). In the explosive the nitro compounds N2 is formed. The structure of N2 has a triple bond so that’s why it’s so strong. The number of nitro groups depends on the explosiveness and power. Later workers started to suffer from headaches due to them dealing with nitroglycerin and it caused people to suffer from a heart disease called
Stellar Evolution A star begins as nothing more than a very light distribution of interstellar gases and dust particles over a distance of a few dozen lightyears. Although there is extremely low pressure existing between stars, this distribution of gas exists instead of a true vacuum. If the density of gas becomes larger than .1 particles per cubic centimeter, the interstellar gas grows unstable. Any small deviation in density, and because it is impossible to have a perfectly even distribution
What is gender? Different sociologists have given different definitions for gender. However, in its simplest term, gender refers to the socially expected roles and relation between men and women. For example, boys are expected to be the strong ones, aggressive and competitive and girls are to be sweet, caring, and gentle and handled with care. These characteristics, amongst others, are what the society actually expects from individuals based on their sex, but it does not mean that it is imperative
