God’s Good News
Hebrews 7:25
Jesus is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.
Ephesians 2:8-9
It is by grace you have been saved, through faith, not by works, so that no one can boast.

🛑 Biochemistry – Rate Limiting Steps (Must Know ⚡)
🔷️ Glycolysis → PFK-1
🔷️ Gluconeogenesis → Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase
🔷️ Glycogenesis → Glycogen synthase
🔷️ Glycogenolysis → Glycogen phosphorylase
🔷️ TCA Cycle → Isocitrate dehydrogenase
🔷️ HMP Shunt → G6PD
🔷️ Fatty Acid Synthesis → Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC)
🔷️ β-Oxidation → Carnitine acyltransferase I
🔷️ Cholesterol Synthesis → HMG-CoA reductase
🔷️ Urea Cycle → CPS-1
🔷️ Purine Synthesis → PRPP amidotransferase
🔷️ Pyrimidine Synthesis → CPS-2
💡 Exam Trick:
👉 “Synthesis = usually first committed step”
👉 “Breakdown = key control enzyme”

Zinc (Zn²⁺):
Zinc is an essential trace element involved in immunity, wound healing, growth, and enzyme function. The body does not store zinc → regular intake is important.
⚙️ What Does Zinc Do?
-Immune function → supports T-cells & antibody production.
-Enzyme cofactor (over 300 enzymes).
-DNA synthesis & cell division.
-Wound healing & tissue repair.
-Taste & smell perception.
-Normal growth & sexual development.
📌 Clinical Uses of Zinc:
1️⃣ Zinc Deficiency Treatment:
-Common in malnutrition, chronic diarrheas, malabsorption, alcoholism.
-Deficiency signs:
-Poor wound healing
- Loss of taste/smell
- Alopecia
-Periorificial dermatitis
-Recurrent infections
2️⃣ Acute Diarrhea (Children):
-WHO recommends zinc to reduce duration & severity of diarrhea.
3️⃣ Wound & Burn Care:
-Enhances epithelial repair and healing.
4️⃣ Common Cold (Adjunct):
-May shorten symptom duration if started early (evidence mixed).
⚠️ Important Interactions & Tips:
•High zinc ↓ copper absorption → risk of copper deficiency.
•Separate zinc from iron, calcium, tetracyclines, quinolones (2–4 hours).
•Chronic high doses → GI upset, immune dysfunction.
🍽️ Dietary Sources:
-Oysters (highest)
-Red meat & poultry
-Nuts & seeds
-Whole grains
-Dairy

Selenium (Se)✨:
Selenium is an essential trace element that plays a key role in antioxidant defense, thyroid hormone metabolism, and immune function.
⚙️ What Does Selenium Do?
•Antioxidant activity → part of glutathione peroxidase.
•Thyroid hormone metabolism → converts T4 → T3.
•Immune function → supports T-cell activity.
•Protection against oxidative stress.
•Cardiovascular health.
📌Clinical Uses of Selenium:
1️⃣ Selenium Deficiency Treatment
Seen in:
•Long-term parenteral nutrition
•Malabsorption syndromes
•Chronic diarrhea
•Severe malnutrition
Deficiency manifestations:
•Keshan disease(dilated cardiomyopathy).
•Muscle weakness.
•Recurrent infections.
•Cognitive changes.
2️⃣ Thyroid Support:
•Used in Hashimoto thyroiditis.
•Reduces thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPO-Ab).
⚠️ Selenium Toxicity (Selenosis):
•Garlic-like breath odor,
•Nausea, diarrhea.
•Hair loss.
•Brittle nails.
•Irritability, fatigue.
📌 Usually from excess supplementation, not diet.
🍽️ Dietary Sources:
•Brazil nuts (very high – caution).
•Seafood.
•Eggs .
•Whole grains .
•Meat & poultry.
