The purpose of an IEP is to meet the child's needs based on the child's development rather than predetermined expectations based on grade level. The IEP takes both strengths and challenges into consideration, using a child's strengths to improve his or her challenges.
In the present study, the effect of body temperature on this acute decrease of tryptophan hydroxylase activity was examined. 2 h after a single dose of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (20 mg/kg, s.c.), rats exhibited hyperthermia (38.7) or hypothermia (35.8) when maintained at 25 or 6, respectively.n conclusion, lowering body temperature protects against the immediate decrease in tryptophan hydroxylase activity induced by 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine, suggesting that hyperthermia plays a prominent role in the acute as well as the long-term decrease in enzyme activity.
Enzymes work fastest when they are at the optimum temperature, but as the temperature gets lower the enzymeâs activity begins to decrease. Enzyme activity can be stopped by adding a molecule that binds to and blocks the enzyme. Lowering the temperature increases the effectiveness of some of these inhibitor molecules. Each enzyme has a special part called an active site, which is like a mouth.
