1. Carbohydrates are digested into monosaccharides like glucose in the small intestine through the actions of digestive enzymes.
2. Monosaccharides are absorbed into the bloodstream and transported to tissues where they undergo further metabolism. Glucose is the primary fuel for tissues like the brain.
3. Glycolysis is the first step of glucose metabolism, occurring in the cytosol of cells. It breaks down glucose into pyruvate while generating a small amount of ATP.
Supplying a huge array of metabolic intermediates for biosynthetic reactions. Normally carbohydrate metabolism supplies more than half of the energy requirements of the body. In fact the brain largely depends upon carbohydrate

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Absorption of carbohydrate Introduction
11. • The glucose and galactose is taken up by a
Na+-monosaccharide co-transporter,.
• Na+ will be pumped out by Na+ K+–ATP-ase.
• Fructose is taken up by Na+ -independent
facilitated-diffusion, mediated by GLUT5.
• The monosaccharides could leave enterocytes
into interstitial through GLUT2.

30. The Oxidation of Pyruvate to form Acetyl CoA for Entry
Into the Krebs Cycle
Pyruvate dehydrogenase (complex enzyme) convert pyruvate
into acetyl CoA
•2 NADH's and 2 CO2 are generated (1 per pyruvate)
31. .Three possible
catabolic fates
of the pyruvate
formed in
glycolysis.
Pyruvate also
serves as a
precursor in
many anabolic
reactions, not
shown here
33. CLINICAL ASPECTS
• Inhibition of Pyruvate Metabolism Leads
to Lactic Acidosis
• 1- Arsenite and mercuric ions inhibit
pyruvate dehydrogenase
• 2- Dietary deficiency of thiamin (cofactor of
pyruvate dehydrogenase,), allowing pyruvate
to accumulate.
34. • 3- Inherited pyruvate dehydrogenase
deficiency - causes lactic acidosis, particularly
after a glucose load.
– neurologic disturbances because Brain is
dependences on glucose as a fuel
CLINICAL ASPECTS
35. • Inherited aldolase A deficiency and
pyruvate kinase deficiency in
erythrocytes cause hemolytic anemia.
CLINICAL ASPECTS
Pphosphofructokinase deficiency
The exercise capacity of muscle is low,
particularly on high carbohydrate diets.
The capacity is improved By providing lipid
fuel, eg, during starvation, when blood free
fatty acids and ketone bodies are increased.
