Explain how the selective induction of either Phase I (oxidative enzymes - e.g., cytochrome P-450) or Phase II (conjugative enzymes - e.g., glutathione transferase) enzymes can increase the toxicity of some chemicals while decreasing the toxicities of others
1. phase I enzymes -cytochrome P-450
this enzyme used in liver detoxification which functions as converting insoluble non-polar compound to the soluble polar compound so that it can be excreted from the blood. by this many xenobiotics are detoxified but there are some xenobiotics which are already non-toxic polar are converted into toxic form by cytochrome P-450.
an example is methanol which is non-toxic and the polar compound is converted into toxic compound called formic acid which causes methanol poisoning in humans.
Explain how the selective induction of either Phase I (oxidative enzymes - e.g., cytochrome P-450) or...

10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
Can you please explain in simple terms the methods of this experiment? I'm having difficulty visualizing and understanding what is being done. I have copied and pasted some of the text from the article. Thank you! Abstract : Obesity, high-fat diets, and subsequent type 2 diabetes (T2DM) are associated with cognitive impairment. Moreover, T2DM increases the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and leads to abnormal elevation of brain beta-amyloid levels, one of the hallmarks of AD. The psychoactive alkaloid caffeine...
