Phthalocyanine (H 2 Pc) is a large, aromatic, macrocyclic, organic compound with the formula (C 8 H 4 N 2) 4 H 2 and is of theoretical or specialized interest in chemical dyes and photoelectricity. It is composed of four isoindole units [ a ] linked by a ring of nitrogen atoms.
Examples are chlorophyll, which is used by plants for photosynthesis and hemoglobin, the oxygen transporter in the blood of vertebrate animals. In these two examples, a metal is complexed at the center of a tetrapyrrole macrocycle ring: the metal being iron in the heme group (iron in a porphyrin ring) of hemoglobin, or magnesium complexed in a ...
Copper phthalocyanine; Aluminosilicate pigments. Ultramarine (PB29): a synthetic or naturally occurring sulfur containing silicate mineral - Na 8–10 Al 6 Si 6 O 24 S 2–4 (generalized formula) Persian blue: made by grinding up the mineral Lapis lazuli.
For example, gentamicin is an antibiotic that can be nephrotoxic (kidney damaging) and ototoxic (hearing damaging); measurement of gentamicin through concentrations in a patient's plasma and calculation of the AUC is used to guide the dosage of this drug. [3] AUC becomes useful for knowing the average concentration over a time interval, AUC/t.
GLUT4 has a Km value for glucose of about 5 mM, which as stated above is the normal blood glucose level in healthy individuals. GLUT4 is the most abundant glucose transporter in skeletal muscle and is thus considered to be rate limiting for glucose uptake and metabolism in resting muscles. [ 8 ]
Although absorption is rather low in this spectral range, it still contributes to the overall attenuation of tissue. Figure 3: The molar extinction coefficients of eumelanin and pheomelanin. [5] Other tissue components with less significant contributions to the total absorption spectrum of tissue are melanin and fat.
Phthalocyanine green is derived from phthalocyanine blue by chlorination in the presence of aluminium trichloride. The stoichiometry for the complete chlorination is shown: [1] Cu(C 32 H 16 N 8) + 16 Cl 2 → Cu(C 32 N 8 Cl 16) + 16 HCl. In practice, this pigment is a mixture of isomers and degrees of chlorination.
Fasting prior to glucose testing may be required with some test types. Fasting blood sugar test, for example, requires 10–16 hour-long period of not eating before the test. [1] Blood sugar levels can be affected by some drugs and prior to some glucose tests these medications should be temporarily given up or their dosages should be decreased.
