Steroid biosynthesis is an anabolic metabolic pathway that produces steroids from simple precursors. A unique biosynthetic pathway is followed in animals compared to many other organisms, making the pathway a common target for antibiotics and other anti-infective drugs.teroid ring system: The parent ABCD steroid ring system (hydrocarbon framework) is shown with IUPAC-approved ring lettering and atom numbering. A steroid is an organic compound with four rings arranged in a specific configuration.
Intradiscal electrothermal therapy (IDET), also known as intradiscal electrothermal annuloplasty (IDTA) or IEA, is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that uses a catheter and a flexible electrode that is inserted into the affected disc in order to heat the entire posterior edge of the annulus.
Distribution of water within the body. Intracellular Fluid (ICF): The amount of water thatâs inside our cells accounts for 2/3rds of our TBW. Extracellular Fluid (ECF): The amount of water that surrounds our cells accounts for 1/3 of our TBW. ECF is also known as interstitial fluid because itâs the fluid in between the cells. Mnemonic to help you remember which is 1/3rd and 2/3rd: ECF and ICF. E comes before I in the alphabet, so E is 1/3rd and I is 2/3rd. ICF = 2/3 X TBW.
