1. Introduction
Opioids such as codeine and morphine, are the active pharmaceutical ingredients of many drugs such as pain relievers (analgesics), cough suppressants, sedatives, etc. Opioids are derivatives of opium and bind to the μ-opioid receptor (μOR). The coupling of the μOR to Gi, the inhibitory subunit of the G-protein, blocks the activation of adenylyl cyclase and results in the analgesic effect. The opioid receptors belong to the G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) superfamily and specifically to the rhodopsin-like family A. These receptors consist of two closely related members, namely, δOR and κOR (Manglik et al. 2012, p. 322). The Continue reading...

Introduction

The kidneys refer to the organs that are involved with several important regulatory roles in vertebrate animals. Kidneys play a crucial role in the urinary system as well as in the homeostatic functions such as electrolyte regulation, maintaining a balance between the acids and bases, and in regulating blood pressure. Kidneys filter the blood removing wastes, which are then taken to the urinary bladder as urine. During urine production, wastes such as ammonia and urea are excreted while substances such as glucose, water and amino acids reabsorbed. The kidney is also responsible for the production of hormones such as Continue reading...

According to Warrick (1993), global warming is the main contributor to the rise in global sea level since the Industrial Revolution. Human activities such as burning coal and oil and cutting down tropical forests increase atmospheric concentrations of heat-trapping gases. The three main factors leading to the rise in sea levels include: thermal expansion, ice loss from Greenland and West Antarctica and melting of glaciers and polar ice caps.
Land ice, that is, glaciers, ice caps, and ice sheets, stores nearly two-thirds of the world’s freshwater and is shrinking in response to higher temperatures. Glaciers partially melt each Continue reading...

Salmon Fish

The Atlantic salmon fishes are known for their strong, streamlined bodies and their ability to move through steep rivers in fresh and salt waters as their habitat (Jonsson and Jonsson 2). The term “Salmo” is a Latin term which means salmon that originated from the word “salar” which means to leap. The Atlantic salmon are anadromous which means that they spawn in freshwater and acquire most of their food while they explore the marine habitats (Jonsson and Jonsson 2).
The management systems used for production of transgenic Atlantic salmon is similar as those that are being presently used for Continue reading...

The bony fish has several adaptive features that make it suited to its environment.

The most common shape of the bony fish is the roughly cylindrical form, which tapers at both the head and the tail. This shape allows for increased efficiency during swimming.
Most species of bony fish have a form of pigmentation or the other. This pigmentation is an excellent way of camouflage the fish in its environment.
The fins are another structure that aid, in no small way, in propelling the fish through water thereby bringing about movement from one place to another. Some of the fins are paired (the pelvic and pectoral fins), while the others are median (Dorsal, Continue reading...

Introduction

Membrane filtration is a technique used to separate a liquid from any particles present in it. In membrane filtration, a liquid is passed through a semi-permeable membrane. The size of the pores on the membrane determines its permeability thereby enabling the membrane to act as a barrier to all particles larger than the pore sizes. Different approaches and systems can be employed in membrane filtration depending on the type and capacity of the liquid being purified but the overall goal is to obtain a clean liquid. Membrane filtration can be used in the treatment of wastewater, filtering milk during Continue reading...
