As well as using eye drops, dry eyes can be helped by taking a supplement of omega 3,6 and 9. Sjogrenâs syndrome: An auto-immune condition affecting around half a million people in the UK, this causes the body to attack its own moisture-producing glands, leading to abnormal dryness of the eyes, says Mr Allamby.
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a network of membrane-enclosed tubules and sacs (cisternae) that extends from the nuclear membrane throughout the cytoplasm (Figure 9.1).
There are two types of endoplasmic reticulum, rough and smooth. The outer (cytosolic) face of the rough endoplasmic reticulum is studded with ribosomes that are the sites of protein synthesis. The rough endoplasmic reticulum is especially prominent in cells such as hepatocytes.mooth endoplasmic reticulum is found in a variety of cell types (both animal and plant), and it serves different functions in each. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum also contains the enzyme glucose-6-phosphatase, which converts glucose-6-phosphate to glucose, a step in gluconeogenesis.
