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...
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...

Abstract Obesity is an epidemic disease that threatens to inundate health care resources by increasing the incidence of diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, and cancer. These effects of obesity result from two factors: the increased mass of adipose tissue and the increased secretion of pathogenetic products from enlarged fat cells. This concept of the pathogenesis of obesity as a disease allows an easy division of disadvantages of obesity into those produced by the mass of fat and those pro...
ABSTRACTNitric oxide is produced in high amount from the break down of arginine by a group of enzyme called nitric oxide synthase. Nitric oxide is an intercellular messenger that has been recognized as one of the versatile player in the immune system. Cells of the innate immune system such as macrophages, neutrophil and natural killer use patterns recognition receptors to recognize the molecular patters associated with pathogens. The specific role nitric oxide plays depend on the place o...
