Roles of Isolated Tissue Preparation in Medical Physiology.

ABSTRACT Isolated organs or tissues are body parts, organs, systems or tissues separated from the body and placed in an artificial nutrient medium similar to blood plasma in salt composition and osmotic pressure and temporarily retaining their principal functional properties. They are used to study certain aspects of organ activity, elucidate the action of medicinal substances and poisons, provides researchers with convenient biological models that are independent of the systemic influen...

Effect of insulin treatment on islet function

ABSTRACT Insulin treatment is the use of insulin and similar proteins to treat diseases including diabetes and its acute complications as an effective way of lowering blood glucose level in individuals with impaired Islet beta cell functions. The Islets (Island) of Langerhans are small clusters of cells scattered within the pancreas of most vertebrates to bring about the secretion of the polypeptide hormone, Insulin, which is responsible for the evacuation of excess glucose in the blood strea...

CONTROL OF BRAIN DEVELOPMENT, FUNCTIONAND BEHAVIOUR BY THE MICROBIOME

Humans share an intimate and life-long partnership with a myriad of resident microbial species (fungi, protists and viruses), collectively referred to as the microbiota (Sampson & Marmanian, 2015). The microbiome co-evolved with its human host (Chrobak et al., 2016) and istransferred from the mother to the baby duringlabor, with method of delivery, diet, drugs and medications (especially antibiotics) as the major contributing factorto the process of microbiome developmentin the infant (Sekiro...

INFLUENCE OF GENDER AND SELF – ESTEEM ON DEPRESSION AMONG DIABETIC PATIENTS

ABSTRACT This study investigated influence of gender and self-esteem on depression among diabetic patients. One hundred and thirty (130) diabetic patients (77 with low self-esteem and 53 with high self-esteem) were used. Males and females were 65 each. Self-rating depression scale Zung (1965) and index of self-esteem Hudson (1982) were used. A 2x2 factorial design was adopted while two way ANOVA statistics was used for data analysis. Gender was found to significantly influence depression amon...
