When measuring heating effects, a unit of thermal energy known as a calorie is used. One calorie is 4.184 Joules. Materials have a property called thermal capacity or specific heat. This is a measure of how many calories are needed to raise 1.0 gram of the material one degree Centigrade.The thermal capacity of water at 15 deg. C is 1.0 calorie.That is 4.184 Joules or 4.184 Watt-seconds. The entire energy could be transferred to the water in one millisecond at a rate of 4184 watts to produce the same temperature rise of one deg.hen measuring heating effects, a unit of thermal energy known as a calorie is used.

The most obvious symptoms of MTHFR gene problems. Folate or folic acid deficiency is an obvious sign but it doesnât always appear as the first sign if you have the gene problem, often these symptoms are missed early on allowing other bigger problems to develop which we will explore on this page.
The MTHFR C677T mutation affects the enzyme methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase, which is the rate-limiting enzyme in the formation of 5-methyltetraydrofolate (5-MTHF), or methylfolate.If you have the C677T mutation, your ability to convert folic acid into methylfolate is significantly reduced.levated homocysteine levels can cause oxidative stress and increase your risk of heart disease. Genetic Testing You can easily find out if you have the MTHFR C677T mutation by ordering a DNA test kit from 23andMe ($99). Once you receive your results, go to Genetic Genie for methylation analysis (free).
