Thepulsevoltammetryfieldincludesmanydifferentmethods,howeverthemostcommonarenormalpulse,differentialpulse,andsquarewave.First,thereisthenormalpulsemethodwhichinvolvestheapplicationofaseriesofpulsesofincreasingamplitudeoveradurationofbetween1and100milliseconds.Asimilartechniquetothenormalpulsemethodisthedifferentialpulse,whichinvolvestheapplicationofapotentialwhichiskeptatasmallerfixedamplitudecomparedtothenormalpulsemethod.Finally,thereisthesquarewavemethodwhichoftheapplicationofasymmetrical,squarewavepulse,whichissuperimposedonastaircasewaveform.Thenetcurrentforthismethodisobtainedbytakingthedifferencebetweenthenormal(forward)andreversecurrentandiscenteredontheredoxpotentialofthecompoundinquestion.

Whiletherearemanydifferenttypesofpulsevoltammetry,theexperimentfocuswasDifferentialPulse.InDPV,thepotentialisscannedwithaseriesofpulsessimilartoothertypesofpulsevoltammetry,however,DPVisdifferentinthatthepulseiskepttoasmalleramplitude(usuallybetween10-100mV).Thissmallpulseisthenmeasuredontopofabasepotentialwhichisslowlychangedoverthecourseoftheexperiment.Foreachpulse,thecurrentismeasuretwice:firstatapointbeforethepulseandagainattheendofthepulse.Atbothofthesepoints,thechargingcurrenthasbeenallowedtodecaytoensureaccuratemeasurements.Thedifferencebetweenthetwopointsatwhichthepulsewasmeasuredisplottedagainstthepotentialontheresultingvoltammogram.

InexperimentIII,thereductionofferricyanidetoferrocyanidewasstudiedusingthismethod.Withthisreductiveprocessinmind,theamplitudeusedforDPVwas50mV.Thepotentialwasthenchangedfrombasepotential,toamid-levelpotential.Thismid-levelpotentialwasmaintainedfor50msbeforebeingchangedtothefinalpotential.Whenthepotentialexceedsthatofthereductionpotential,nofaradaiccurrentisobserved,whichmeansthedifferenceinchargingcurrentandfaradaiccurrentiszero.However,whenthefaradaiccurrentreachesthereductivecurrent,thecurrentdifferenceismaximized,thendecreasesbacktozero.

DuetothenatureofDPV,thedetectionlimitismuchlowerthanthatofotheranalyticmethods.Thisisduetotheenhancementofthefaradaiccurrentandtheminimizationofthechargingcurrent.Becausethecurrentismeasurebeforeandafterthepulse,theratioofchargingcurrenttofaradaiccurrentisincreaseddrastically.Aftereachpotentialthechargingcurrentquicklydecaystozero,whilethefaradaic

The body cannot produce an important hormone called insulin which is responsible for taking sugar out of the blood and storing it in the body’s cells.

A person with type one diabetes must use

insulin shots to regulate blood sugar levels

The body is still able to produce insulin, but is either not producing enough or is unable to use it correctly.

Those with type two diabetes can

manage their blood sugar levels with insulin shots or pills, or by maintaining a healthy diet and exercising.

GLUT-4isregulatedbyinsulin.Withoutinsulin,glucosewouldnotbeavailabletobodycellsforenergy.

Becauseofthis,insulinistheprimarytreatmentoptionforuseintypeIdiabetics.Itisdeliveredtypically

AlthoughinsulinisabsolutelyessentialinthetreatmentoftypeIdiabetes,andalsohighly

toachievehigherlevelsofbloodglucosecontrol.Tothatend,researchershavebeentestingthe

feasibilityofmanynutritivesupplementsandhowtheymayimproveglucosecontrolsincethediscovery

ofinsulin.Alargefocusofthisresearchhasbeenontheinorganicdietaryminerals,principally

MagnesiumandZinc.

Magnesium,amacromineral,isneededinrelativelylargequantitiesinthebody.Magnesiumis

involvedinmanybiochemicalpathwaysthroughoutthebody,includingbloodglucosecontrol,

DiabetologyandMetabolicSyndromein2012.5Themeta-analysispooleddatafromall25studiesand

Overthecourseofthefollowingexperimentalprocess,thefeasibilityoftheadditionofdietary

zincandmagnesiumintofoodproductswhichmaybeeasilyincorporatedintothedietwillbetested.To

MATERIALSANDMETHODS

Toconductthisexperiment,andevaluatetheeffectofMagnesiumandZinconapplesauce,four

differentvariationswerecreated.Thiswasaccomplishedbyfirstmakingastandardapplesaucerecipe

DISCUSSION

Uponanalyzingthedata,afewkeyconclusionscanbedrawn.Intable1,itcanbeseenthatthe

controlsampleofapplesaucewasindicatedtohavethebesttasteacrossallexperimentationdays.The

averagereportedflavoracrossallthreedaysforthecontrolsamplewas1.2,thehighestaverageamong

tosupplementzincintoapplesauceproductswithminimaleffectontheperceptionofflavor,butmore

researchisneededtodeterminetheexactamountofzincneededtominimalizetheeffectonflavor.

Intable2,itisseenthatalthoughtheapplesaucevariationsweresimilarincolor,uponcloser

evaluation,thesamplesvariedacrossallrecordedvalues.Inthecaseofthelvalue(thelightness+or

magnesiumsupplementedsamplewasvisiblygreenincolorwhentestingwasconducted.

Inthecaseoftheviscositytesting,itcanbeseenintable3thatwhiletheviscositiesaresimilar,

theydifferenoughtowarrantdiscussion.Thecontrolsamplewasfoundtobethemostviscosewithan

averageof128mPa*sacrossthethreeexperimentationdays,whilethezincandmagnesium

wasseenthatonaverage,themagnesiumsupplementedsamplewasmoreviscosethanthezinc

CONCLUSION

Inconclusion,ithasbeendemonstratedthattheflavor,color,andviscositywereindeed

effectedbytheadditionofzincandmagnesium.Despitethebenefitsoftheaddedzincandmagnesium

inthediet,itmaynotbelucrativetoaddthesemineralstocommonfoodproducts.Inthecaseof

applesauce,theadditionofthementionedmineralsgenerallymadetheproduct’sflavorworst.Thiswas

demonstratedbythecontrolgroupreceivingthebestflavorrating,withthesupplementedvariations

havingprogressivelyworseflavorrating.Itwasalsodemonstratedthetheadditionofthesupplements

drasticallychangedthecoloroftheproduct.Theadditionofsupplementsmadetheapplesaucedarker

andgreeneringeneral.Thisisnotthemostappealingappearanceandmayprovedifficulttomarketto

applesaucelessviscose.Itisnotclearifthiswouldaffectthemarketabilityoftheapplesauceassome

colorandviscosityinresponsetotheadditionofzincandmagnesium,itwasfoundthatitmaynotbe

In case of emergency call 911 or the OUPD at (740) 593-1911. What is diabetes?- Diabetes is any metabolic disorder resulting in chronic polyuria (excessive urine output).- Diabetes mellitus is the most prevalent. - Type 1 accounts for 5% to 10% of cases in the U.S., and is an autoimmune disease. - Type 2 accounts for 90% to 95% of cases in the U.S., and results from insulin resistance.

What’s in a number?- Normal blood glucose level: 70-100 mg/dL- Blood glucose levels can fluctuate during times of stress (e.g., midterms or finals), illness, and exercise. - Running to class is the #1 cause of hypoglycemia for students with diabetes.- Hypoglycemia is a condition characterized by abnormally low blood glucose levels (less than 70 mg/dL is a LOW). - Hyperglycemia is the technical term for high blood glucose levels (greater than 180 mg/dL is a HIGH).

What is considered a diabetic emergency?- Severe hypoglycemia can lead to seizures, unconsciousness, coma, and even death. If you notice any of these symptoms, dial 911 immediately.- While you wait for help to arrive, see if anyone in the room has raisins, juice, regular soda, hard candies, anything that could help raise the student’s blood glucose levels.- The student may also be carrying a glucagon pen, which can be injected into the individual’s buttock, arm or thigh to treat a severe hypoglycemic event.

What can you do to help?- Students are not required to disclose, so look for the blue DOSES wristband, part of the welcome kit they receive when they register with Student Accessibility Services.- Include language in your syllabus encouraging students to come to you with…- Permit diabetic students to eat or drink during lecture to avoid hypoglycemia.- Allow diabetic students to adjust their insulin pump or check blood glucose levels during class. Insulin pump alerts may sound like a cell phone.- Be flexible. In case of blood glucose emergencies, excuse students from class and accept a medical provider’s note at a later date. Also be aware that students with diabetes may be late to class because they had to treat their diabetes symptoms.
