N-acetyl derivatives of D-glucosamine and D-galactosamine are present in the biochemical markers on
red blood cells
N-acetyl derivatives of D-glucosamine and D-galactosamine are present in the biochemical markers on red blood cells, to distinguish the various
blood types.
proteins containing branched or unbranched oligosaccharide chains including
fucose
They occur in cell membranes and many other situations; serum albumin is a
glycoproteins
Glycoproteins or
mucoproteins
The sialic acids are
N- or O- acyl derivatives of neuraminic acid
are constituents of both glycoproteins and gangliosides.
Sialic acids
a nine-carbon sugar derived from mannosamine (an epimer of glucosamine) and pyruvate.
Neuraminic acid
Lactase deficiency or hypolactasia
Lactose intolerance
inability to digest and metabolize lactose caused by a lack of
lactase
the enzyme required to break down lactose in the digestive system
lactase
Hereditary metabolic disease caused by the absence of the enzyme, aldolase B, therefore inability of the body to breakdown fructose
Fructose intolerance
rare genetic metabolic disorder that affects an individual’s ability to metabolize the sugar galactose properly
Galactosemia
an X-linked recessive hereditary disease by abnormally low levels of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase
G6PD deficiency
G6PD deficiency Affects red blood cells causing
hemolytic anemia
group of metabolic diseases in which a person has high blood sugar, either because the body does not produce enough insulin, or because cells do not respond to the insulin that is produced.
Diabetes mellitus
Diabetes mellitus symptoms:
polyuria, polydipsia, and polyphagia
insulin-dependent diabetes;
Type 1 diabetes:
non-insulin-dependent diabetes
Type 2 diabetes:
autoimmune condition when the body attacks the pancreas
Type 1 diabetes
