Citric Acid Cycle (2021)

2021-10-1914:45

In this episode, I discuss about the Citric Acid Cycle that is part of cellular respiration; and the synthesis of glucose in Gluconeogenesis when the body is in fasting state.

Enzymes (2021)

2021-10-1117:17

In this episode, I discuss about the importance of Enzymes in the body, how it catalyzes reactions and the factors that affect its activity

Protein Synthesis (2021)

2021-10-0816:36

In this episode, discuss about the genetic code and various types of mutations, the steps of protein synthesis and post-translational modifications.

Protein Structure (2021)

2021-09-1712:43

In this episode, I discuss about the 4 levels of protein structure: primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary structures and correlate disease states to changes in protein structure.

Bioenergetics (2021)

2021-09-1320:13

In this full episode, I discuss about Bioenergetics the central role of ATP in cellular respiration. I explain anabolism and catabolism in endergonic and exergonic reactions. I also discuss about importance of water in fluid and electrolyte balance.

Hyperlipidemia

2021-02-0718:53

In this episide, I discuss about Hyperlipedemia and its causes, signs and symptoms, diagnosis and pathophysiology.

Immunodeficiencies

2021-01-2118:44

In this episode, I discuss about the various immune deficiency syndromes (primary and secondary) that may affect the respiratory system.

Pathophysiology of Autoimmune diseases in MSK

2021-01-0622:231

In this episode, I discuss about the immunological mechanisms underlying autoimmune disease and identify examples of rheumatological conditions with an autoimmune basis (SLE, RA, Sjogren syndrome and Vasulitis).

Cancer Defences

2020-12-0708:33

In this episode, I discuss about our immune system and cancer, as well as immunotherapies that target cancer cells

2020-12-0305:281

This episode discusses about our skin immune system and how Type IV hypersensitivity leads to skin disorders such as contact dermatitis, psoriasis and atopic eczema

Allergies and Hypersensitivity

2020-11-3004:12

This episode discusses about allergies and hypersensitivity (Type I) and anaphylaxis.

Pulmonary Defence Mechanisms

2020-11-3007:53

This podcast discusses about our different pulmonary defence mechanisms that protect our airways and lungs from particles to pathogens.

Innate and Adaptive immunity

2020-11-1706:41

In this episode, I discuss about how our innate and adaptive immunity responds when bacterial or viral pathogens invade our body

Immune System

2020-10-2505:18

In this episode, I discuss about the importance of our immune system and the different lines of defence against pathogens and disease

Glycolysis

2020-10-2004:44

In this episode, I discuss about the first step in Glucose metabolism and how that generates ATP energy for our cells

Gene Regulation

2020-10-0705:24

In this episode, I discuss about how the genetic information in our DNA is being transferred to RNA and how this process is regulated.

Nucleic acids (2021)

2020-10-0512:56

This full episode discusses about the importance of nucleic acids in our body, and the structure and function of DNA and RNA. I will also discuss about how DNA is replicated in our cells.
