jhmd great to hear from you! I am sorry u don t feel good - I have been there - hope you have someone to help you. Read in short periods like 25 min and then take a 5 -10 min break - dont strain yourself too much dear. If you need an afternoon nap - take it and then come back with zeal. Let us know so at least we can be of moral support. It is awesome you make progress despite your difficulties.

I have been having some colicky pain in the abdomen last 3 days but trying not to think about it - probably due to adhesions - so nothing much can be done..so I just pray and move on thru the day. Hope it doesnt bother me during the exam day!

Ferritin I love your tips........keep them coming ..........you are doing good. I did few pages of FA in biochem but felt that I had to read Kaplan before I glance thru FA - since it has been a long time since I did Biochem........or probably I am just getting older !!! See u tomorrow with good news!

The pleasure is all mine - jhmd! I am glad at least some find this thread useful. wink I am still covering Kaplan so no time to do FA - will make up in the coming days. Are you reading Kaplan side by side with FA? Thanks for your prayers - I still have some pain - but in Him I trust - He will take me thru this exam! Keep striving for better.........when's yr EDD?

hello, since you guys are studying first aid, I would like to ask a question:

First aid says the "rate limiting enzyme in gluconeogenesis" is pyruvate carboxylase, I read some other resource saying it is Fructose 1,6-Bisphosphatase. Besides, Fructose 1,6-Bisphosphatase is highly regulated by AMP, F-2,6-p. Regulation is one of the "rate limiting enzyme" features. Isn't first aid wrong?

Thank you.

  #58

by the way, it is goljan HY I read says"rate limiting enzyme in gluconeogenesis" is Fructose 1,6-Bisphosphatase.

  #59

another one is "rate limiting enzyme in pyrimidine"
first aid says "Aspartate transcarbamylase
goljan says "Carbamoyl phosphate synthase II
