One of the most significant long-term effects of cocaine use is damage to the nose. A septal perforation, or a âhole in the septumâ is a condition that is commonly caused from snorting or âsniffingâ cocaine through the nose. The nose has a fragile blood supply, which is shut off by cocaine use. This process is called vasoconstriction (closing off of blood vessels).
Scleroglucan and PSAT are two Beta-1,3/1,6-polysaccharides. Beta glucans are derived primarily from yeast cell wall, various fungi, grains, and mushrooms. Beta 1,4 glucan is derived from oats and barley while not included in this research summary of forms of Beta 1,3/1,6 glucan.
Alpha-amylase, found in saliva, pancreatic juice, malt, certain bacteria, and molds, catalyzes the hydrolysis of starches to dextrins, maltose, and maltotriose. Beta-amylase, found in grains, vegetables, malt, and bacteria, is involved in the hydrolysis of starch to maltose. Normal blood findings are 56 to 190 IU/L.An enzyme synthesised in the pancreas and salivary glands and secreted in the GI tract which digests starch and glycogen.It is measured in patients with suspected pancreatitis: serum and urine levels peak 4â8 hours after onset of acute pancreatitis, and normalise within 48â72 hours.lpha-amylase, found in saliva, pancreatic juice, malt, certain bacteria, and molds, catalyzes the hydrolysis of starches to dextrins, maltose, and maltotriose.
