MyFitnessPal is a smartphone application which uses gamification elements for exercise and diet management. The app provides multiple features for diet management. These features include the ability to enter data about food consumed, either manually or by scanning bar codes [1] and Meal Scan, a computer vision technology developed by Passio Inc., that allows users to log meals by pointing ...
TrueCookPlus utilizes short numeric codes to control cooking. After the user enters the code, the TrueCookPlus adjusts the cooking to conform to USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service standards for food type, weight, packaging size/shape and starting state; taking into account static microwave oven variables such as wattage, cavity size, wall voltage, hot or cold oven state, elevation above ...
Myprotein was founded in 2004 by Oliver Cookson and acquired by British e-commerce company, The Hut Group, in June 2011. [1] [2]In December 2015, Myprotein announced an agreement with Kentucky Cabinet for Economic Development to build their first production facility outside the UK in Bullitt County, Kentucky.
A microwave oven or simply microwave is an electric oven that heats and cooks food by exposing it to electromagnetic radiation in the microwave frequency range. [1] This induces polar molecules in the food to rotate and produce thermal energy in a process known as dielectric heating .
Protein is a nutrient needed by the human body for growth and maintenance. Aside from water, proteins are the most abundant kind of molecules in the body. Protein can be found in all cells of the body and is the major structural component of all cells in the body, especially muscle. This also includes body organs, hair and skin.
Adiponectin is a protein hormone that modulates a number of metabolic processes, including glucose regulation and fatty acid oxidation. [10] [11] [12] Adiponectin is secreted from adipose tissue (and also from the placenta in pregnancy [13]) into the bloodstream and is very abundant in plasma relative to many hormones.
Amyloid-beta precursor protein (APP) is an integral membrane protein expressed in many tissues and concentrated in the synapses of neurons. It functions as a cell surface receptor [ 5 ] and has been implicated as a regulator of synapse formation , [ 6 ] neural plasticity , [ 7 ] antimicrobial activity, [ 8 ] and iron export . [ 9 ]
Each protein has its own unique amino acid sequence that is specified by the nucleotide sequence of the gene encoding this protein. The genetic code is a set of three-nucleotide sets called codons and each three-nucleotide combination designates an amino acid, for example AUG (adenine–uracil–guanine) is the code for methionine.
