The
present study highlights about stimulate interest in the fascinating group of
organisms by summarizing what little we do know about lipids and fatty acids of
freshwater crabs in India. We explore carbohydrate, protein and lipid contents
of an animal because of utilization of those components for our betterment i.e.
resource utilization for health. Thus, human exploit and incorporate many such
animals in their food chain. Lipids play important roles in the metabolism and
reproduction of decapods crustaceans. Indian prospect is no better where
epidemic of coronary heart disease (CHD) and diabetes is ongoing with no signs
of a recession. Edible crustaceans, including prawns, crab, shrimp, crayfish,
and lobster, are a key source of nutrient-dense food for humans. The
biochemical makeup of crustaceans, including their protein, amino acid, lipid,
fatty acid, carbohydrate, vitamin, and mineral content, determines their
nutritional value. Freshwater crabs are a cheap food source that have a lot of
potential for human consumption in India, where they can be found in almost all
freshwater habitats. However, basic information about these creatures, like the
biochemical makeup of their body flesh and hepatopancreas, which humans can
consume, is still unknown and has not been linked to any specific nutritional
benefits for the Indian populace.
Freshwater crabs are neglected in various parts of world as well as in
India also. But they have good quality proteins and fatty acids in their edible
part. In this article, occurrence of major lipid and fatty acids were
addressed. Among fatty acids, SFA especially C16 total and C18 total; MUFA,
PUFA, linoleic acid (18:2ω6), linolenic acid (18:3ω3), EPA (20:5ω3) and DHA
(22:6ω3) were compared in body flesh of various edible crustaceans. It was
observed that Indian freshwater crab have a high content of MUFA and PUFA which
makes them nutritionally attractive. The fatty acid profile exhibit a greater
percentage of EPA and DHA of total fatty acids. The n3/n6 ratio maintains less
than 1% in the body flesh of crabs. Exploration of the nutritional quality of
freshwater crab will encourage farmers to promote freshwater crab culture in
India. As well as the consumption of freshwater crab may help to prevent
nutritional deficiencies in future and the topic is important for that.

Low Carb High Protein Diets to Treat Insulin Resistance in Patients with Obesity and/or Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus| Chapter 7 | Current Overview on Disease and Health Vol. 7
Low carbohydrate, high protein diets have been prescribed since 1797 and are taken seriously by many researchers and health professionals, though the diet is still met with skepticism in mainstream dietetics and medicine. Insulin resistance (IR) is caused by a series of physiological events that begin with hyperfagia and progress to a positive energy balance and weight gain. Because of their high insulin levels, patients with IR gain weight easily and have difficulty losing weight on diets with a normal carbohydrate content. A diet for patients with IR must therefore tackle this problem to make weight loss possible. Recently, developments in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus incline towards lowering of carbohydrate intakes to put T2DM in remission, making it even more important to look carefully at the evidence, because patients may benefit from it in a direct way. This review discusses the evidence on the diet's short and long-term effects, effects on comorbidities, and differences from the Mediterranean diet. A search was carried out in Pubmed for articles of obesity management, IR, low carb/high protein diets and weight loss combined with comorbidities, several nutrients and the Mediterranean diet between 1995 and July 2017. In weight loss management, the outcomes were compared to patient observations from dietary practice.
Waist circumference measurement makes diagnosis simple. The diet should be low in carbohydrates and rich in protein without inducing ketosis; each person's needs for energy and macronutrients should be considered. Focusing on unsaturated fats, fat is neither too high nor excessively low. Magnesium, iodine, and vitamin D intake must be at recommended levels. Alcohol consumption is not included in the diet's initial phase. Exercise is a crucial component of treatment because it builds endurance and resistance. Patients taking type 2 diabetes medication need to carefully monitor their food and glucose levels. Low carbohydrate/high protein diets should be considered as a serious treatment option for all obese patients with and without comorbidities. They should be administered by specialized dietitians as part of a multidisciplinary team. Low carbohydrate/high protein diets should be considered as a serious treatment option for all obese patients with and without comorbidities. They should be administered by specialised dietitians working in a multi-disciplinary team.

Highly Conductive Porous Carbon Synthesized by Chemical Vapor Deposition| Chapter 2 | Research Aspects in Chemical and Materials Sciences Vol. 3
Formless permeable carbon was orchestrated by the synthetic fume statement strategy on copper substrates utilizing methane at climatic tension. Pores have a typical size of around 1.2 microns. Lamellar tests of this carbonaceous material have the structure and size of the copper foil substrate and can be isolated from the help. Electrical opposition as a component of temperature shows a semiconductor-like way of behaving. We recommend that this carbonaceous material might be helpful as cathode because of its low electrical resistivity of the request for 0.4 Ωcm at room temperature.

Association of High-Sensitive C-reactive Protein and Atherogenic Lipid Levels Among Group of University Students with Habitual Smoking | Chapter 14 | Current Practice in Medical Science Vol. 1
The inflammatory and cardiovascular disease (CVD) marker high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) is well-known. Blood levels of non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol (n-HDL-C) are closely linked to a lifetime risk of atherosclerotic CVD. According to certain theories, Hs-CRP and atherogenic lipids constitute a key component of cardiovascular disease (CVD), especially in smokers. Long-term smoking appears to be associated with high levels of plasma cholesterol, hs-CRP, and LDL-C. The purpose of the study is to assess the plasma levels of hs-CRP, lipid profile, and magnesium in a sample of college students who smoke often. Eighty guys who currently smoke were included in this cross-sectional investigation. The plasma hs-CRP was estimated using the latex immune turbidimetric technique, employing a spectrophotometer, and chemical techniques were employed to calculate the plasma lipid profile and magnesium (Biosystem 310). The plasma levels of hs-CRP, total cholesterol, and LDL-C increased significantly in the test group of students who have smoked for at least 10 years (P 0.05), while HDL-C levels decreased significantly (P 0.05). The results demonstrated that smoking caused substantial changes in hs-CRP and atherogenic lipids, two markers of cardiovascular disease risk in young male smokers.
