Woolsey & Goff - The Effects of hCG Diet Injections on Common Pregnancy Tests
This study examined whether injections of the hormone hCG used in hCG diets could cause unreliable positive results on pregnancy tests in non-pregnant women. 15 non-pregnant women were tested before and during their hCG diet injections. All 15 women tested positive on blood pregnancy tests during the injections, and 14 tested positive on urine tests, indicating the injections caused false positive results. This shows hCG diet injections can lead to inaccurate positive pregnancy test results in non-pregnant women. Physicians and those on hCG diets should be aware of this effect.

Affluent cancers
This document discusses how consuming animal products leads to higher rates of cancer. It notes that 90% of cancers in wealthy countries are "affluent cancers" linked to diet and hormones. Higher consumption of animal products correlates with greater levels of hormones like estrogen in the body, which promote cell growth and cancer. Evidence shows hormone replacement therapy increases breast cancer risk, and cutting out animal products may help cancer remission by removing excess hormones. The document concludes that while humans have adapted to eat some animal foods, plant-based diets are healthier for cancer prevention.
Medicinal chemistry (drug metabolism & concept of prodrug) corrected
This presentation discusses drug metabolism and prodrugs. It defines drug metabolism as the biochemical modification of pharmacological substances by living organisms through specialized enzyme systems. Drug metabolism often makes lipophilic compounds more hydrophilic and excretable. There are three phases of drug metabolism - phase I introduces reactive groups, phase II conjugates compounds, and phase III further processes conjugated compounds for excretion. Prodrugs are inactive precursors that are metabolized into an active form. Prodrugs can improve drug absorption, distribution, and reduce unintended side effects. Prodrugs are classified as type I which are activated intracellularly or type II which are activated extracellularly. Examples of prodrugs are given.

Applications of biochemistry
- 1. Applications of biochemistry in medecine
- 2. Biochemistry helps us understand the The pathology of any biochemical changes and related disease is studied physiological alteration in the body through biochemical changes
- 3. In the present scenario many people rely in taking multivitamin and minerals for better health The function and role of the vitamins is described only by biochemistry
- 4. There are many disorders due to hormonal imbalance in specially women and children The formation of hormones in the normal body function is taught in biochemistry by which the physician can understand the concerned problem during treatment
- 5. Application of biochemistry in pregnancy testing • There are two types of pregnancy tests – one uses a urine sample and the other a blood sample. Both detect the presence of the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). This hormone is produced by the placenta shortly after implantation of the embryo into the uterine walls and accumulates.
- 6. Pregnancy Testing • A pregnancy test attempts to determine whether a woman is pregnant. Markers that indicate pregnancy are found in urine and blood, and pregnancy tests require sampling one of these substances. The first of these markers to be discovered, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)
- 7. Biochemical tests for pregnancy • Most chemical tests for pregnancy look for the presence of the beta subunit of hCG or human chorionic gonadotropin in the blood or urine. hCG can be detected in urine or blood after implantation, which occurs six to twelve days after fertilization.
