The main belief behind the theory of self-defense as given by Judith Jarvis Thomson rests on the phenomena that a person must become liable to be attacked if somebody else is threatened by him/her considering that he/she is violating the rights of the defender who must not be attacked. Moreover, Judith also assumes that everyone as a human has a fundamental right that must be respected of not being attacked by the other person, but if this right is being violated then the other person loses this right of protection for himself. This means that if a person is being threatened of right ...

1. Introduction: The current environment especially in Western societies promotes increasing consumption of calories along with a relatively sedentary lifestyle thus fueling the global obesity epidemic. Body weight is regulated by complex interaction of genes that promote energy storage along with environmental factors that promote enhanced energy intake and reduced energy expenditure. This obesity promoting environment makes it difficult for many people to sustain weight loss for long periods of time and adequately maintain healthy lifestyle habits. Obesity can overall have many devastating effects on human health such as increased tendency to develop high blood pressure, cardiovascular problems and strokes.

Introduction:

Living organisms are equipped with robust machinery for executing a myriad of tasks to meet the day to day biological challenges. This machinery in turn relies on one or more interconnected pathways or networks composed of nucleic acid, proteins and other essential constituents. To say, it is the precise function of these components which determines the physiological well being organisms. Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) kinases is one such known component that performs diverse physiological roles through its associations with the molecular machinery.
mTOR is a protein that responds to metabolism and ageing, intercellular stress to growth regulation, growth factors ...

Introduction

Trillions of microbes constitute the “Metagenome” of the human gut. This is the organ called microbiome, which is highly essential, and offers the host benefits such as metabolic abilities, pathogen protection, immune system enhancement, and GI tract developmental modulations (De Fillipo, et al.).
In their study, three questions regarding the evolution of the human microbiota have been raised. They are: (1) how does the partitioning of bacterial diversity between and within two populations studied? (2) Does there exist a correlation between the diet and bacterial diversity?; and (3) considering the varied geography and hygienic conditions, what is the bacterial ...

Not all proteins are equally good to the human’s body. Animal proteins have all the required amino acids because they are the most similar to the ones we have in our body. Such sources of animal proteins as red meat and egg yolks are rich with heme iron and zinc which are better absorbed by the body than the same elements from plant proteins. Moreover, meat contains B12 which cannot be found in plant proteins, and this vitamin has a big influence on healthy functioning of our nervous system. Milk and dairy products supply the organism with nine ...
