Metabolism

The term metabolism refers to the different ranges of biochemical processes that can occur within a living organism but it is used commonly to refer to the breakdown of food and how this food transforms into energy that t bodies can storage it. In each individual there are processes in which substances are built up, anabolism, and there are processes in which substances are broken down, catabolism. (Medical definition of Metabolism, 2016) Each metabolism is different in each organism, for example:

Metabolism is defined the sum of all chemical reactions which occurs and are involved in sustaining life of a cell, and thus an organism. Metabolism is of the following two types: catabolism and anabolism. In catabolism, molecules break down producing energy During anabolism, synthesis of essential compounds needed by the cells are produced (such as DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis). Bioenergetics describes the metabolic pathways by which a cell obtains energy. Nutrition science studies the relation

Liver is the main organ for the metabolism of exogenous material. As first pass metabolism is the major elimination route of many drugs the drug exposure in the liver can be very high and hence there is a significant incidence of Drug Induced Liver Injury (DILI) associated with this. The liver; as represented in figure 1 receives blood from two sources:  Arterial blood from the right and left hepatic arteries, which are branches of the coeliac axis2.  Venous blood from the hepatic portal vein,

Inborn Errors of Metabolism are group of rare disorders characterized by metabolic pathways abnormalities leading to underproduction of necessary metabolites. One such disorder is Maple Syrup Urine Disease (MSUD) otherwise known as Branched-chain Ketoaciduria, a dangerous condition in which over saturation of amino acids in the blood can lead to toxicity progressing to encephalopathy, neurodegeneration, coma or respiratory failure. the etiology of the genetic disease, the mechanism of the genetic

Enzymes are important molecules in every living cell in the universe. An enzyme is a biological catalyst that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction without undergoing any chemical changes itself. This means that the enzyme will be the same molecular formula before and after the reaction has taken place. Yeast are a single celled type of fungus. Yeast cells digest different types of sugar to make carbon dioxide gas and ethyl alcohol. Yeast is commonly used for baking and making alcohol to drink

Your metabolism is the result of the processes that are in your body and working together to create energy for your body that keeps you going day to day. Your metabolism is also the rate that your body’s many processes function and your metabolism can be high, low or even in the middle. When talking about your metabolism there are two different types of reactions and they are called a catabolic reaction and an anabolic reaction. A catabolic reaction is when your metabolism breaks down the nutrient

In this paper, I will be discussing metabolism and the major role it plays in the human body. A general definition of metabolism would be all the chemical reactions that take place in an organism. Humans metabolize sugars and lipids differently. Lipids are fats and the enzyme lipase can break through the fat bonds once it enters the small intestine. The liver produces bile which binds to broken fat pieces so they can be absorbed into the bloodstream. Carbohydrates and sugars start their breakdown

big-boned, and getting older, his metabolism has slowed down and get this, ‘THAT’ was why he put on those extra dozen pounds.” He was smiling now confident that he stumped me. “Wait, wait. Why are you shaking your head?” He asked. I’m sure you’ve probably heard something along Bobby’s justification and obviously, if it’s spoken enough and with conviction, it must be true right? Wrong. Let’s talk about metabolism. Everybody, and every living thing, has a metabolism and it often gets the blame for weight

Abstract Mitochondrial play a crucial role in energy transduction of myocardium. Cellular and mitochondria metabolism observed in the course of hyperglycemia is associated with excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Among other factors involve in ROS production, is intracellular concentration of glucose secreted by the pancreatic β cells. Glucose play a key role in the mitochondrial-dependent oxidative reaction thus involvement of insulin resistance contribute to the influx of calcium
