In this episode, I discuss about the Citric Acid Cycle that is part of cellular respiration; and the synthesis of glucose in Gluconeogenesis when the body is in fasting state.
17 min
In this episode, I discuss about the importance of Enzymes in the body, how it catalyzes reactions and the factors that affect its activity
16 min
In this episode, discuss about the genetic code and various types of mutations, the steps of protein synthesis and post-translational modifications.
12 min
In this episode, I discuss about the 4 levels of protein structure: primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary structures and correlate disease states to changes in protein structure.
20 min
In this full episode, I discuss about Bioenergetics the central role of ATP in cellular respiration. I explain anabolism and catabolism in endergonic and exergonic reactions. I also discuss about importance of water in fluid and electrolyte balance.
18 min
In this episide, I discuss about Hyperlipedemia and its causes, signs and symptoms, diagnosis and pathophysiology.
18 min
In this episode, I discuss about the various immune deficiency syndromes (primary and secondary) that may affect the respiratory system.
22 min
In this episode, I discuss about the immunological mechanisms underlying autoimmune disease and identify examples of rheumatological conditions with an autoimmune basis (SLE, RA, Sjogren syndrome and Vasulitis).
8 min
In this episode, I discuss about our immune system and cancer, as well as immunotherapies that target cancer cells
5 min
This episode discusses about our skin immune system and how Type IV hypersensitivity leads to skin disorders such as contact dermatitis, psoriasis and atopic eczema
4 min
This episode discusses about allergies and hypersensitivity (Type I) and anaphylaxis.
7 min
This podcast discusses about our different pulmonary defence mechanisms that protect our airways and lungs from particles to pathogens.
6 min
In this episode, I discuss about how our innate and adaptive immunity responds when bacterial or viral pathogens invade our body
5 min
In this episode, I discuss about the importance of our immune system and the different lines of defence against pathogens and disease
4 min
In this episode, I discuss about the first step in Glucose metabolism and how that generates ATP energy for our cells
5 min
In this episode, I discuss about how the genetic information in our DNA is being transferred to RNA and how this process is regulated.
12 min
This full episode discusses about the importance of nucleic acids in our body, and the structure and function of DNA and RNA. I will also discuss about how DNA is replicated in our cells.
7 min
This episode discusses about pH and its influence on amino acids, as well as the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to quantify pH effects.
5 min
This episode discusses about the different types of amino acids and their properties
4 min
This episode describes the generation and use of ATP as a carrier of energy in the cell
