Extending outwards from the core are the mantle and the crust. Earth's mantle extends to a depth of 2,890 km beneath the surface, making it the thickest layer of Earth. This layer is composed of silicate rocks that are rich in iron and magnesium relative to the overlying crust.
The Parasite: Balantidium coli. Balantidium coli is the only ciliate known to parasitize humans. Ciliates represent a phylum of protozoa characterized, in at least one stage of development, by simple or compound ciliary organelles on the surface of their membranes that are used for locomotion.
Belonging to the phytoalexin class of compounds, pterostilbene is a protective compound produced by small berry plants like blueberries, cranberries, lingonberries and grapes to ward off the damage of pathogens such as bacteria or fungi. study published by the USDA in 2005 compared both pterostilbene and resveratrol to determine their ability to induce PPAR-alpha activation, which is involved in fatty acid and lipid catabolism and its activation leads to decreased triglyceride and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) synthesis.
