Sentences with phrase «affects cellular energy»

CoQ10 affects cellular energy and health across a wide range of systems.

Not exact matches

The affected mitochondria could no longer provide the synapses with enough energy, which ultimately prevented the synapses from functioning — providing the first direct link between cellular injury caused by amyloid protein and the characteristic breakdown of neuronal communication that occurs in Alzheimer's patients.

The diseases in question affect mitochondria, which are cellular energy producers that carry their own set of genes.

Aβ is believed to penetrate neuronal plasma membranes, where it leads to lipid peroxidation.10 It has also been implicated in deactivating a subunit of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, thereby inhibiting conversion of pyruvate to acetyl CoA and the eventual production of cellular energy as ATP.32 Another way Aβ affects glucose metabolism in the brain is that fragments of Aβ disrupt insulin signaling by binding to neuronal synapses, which alters their shape and function.15, 38 Insulin receptors are abundant at synapses, so if the integrity of the synapse itself has been compromised, the receptors won't function effectively.

Research indicates that cellular energy production is greatly affected by what is supplied in the diet.

Mitochondrial damage further drains cellular energy by creating a disproportionate need for repair, perpetuating a vicious cycle.21 Mitochondrial dysfunction can affect immunity, digestion, cognition and any energy - intensive system within the body and is a key component of many chronic illnesses.

The body is under constant danger of becoming acid, due to the very basic process of energy production, by oxidizing (breaking down) carbohydrates into carbon dioxide and water, producing acidic residue (CO2), that needs to be disposed of through cellular respiration, and then exhaled through the lungs (this is why the rate of breathing can directly affect body's acid / alkaline balance).

However, an example of a factor that affects the ability of your muscles to absorb oxygen would be the extent of the blood capillary distribution at your muscles (more blood capillaries means more surface area for oxygen absorption), and an example of a factor that affects the ability of your muscles to use oxygen would be the mitochondrial density of your muscles (mitochondria are organelles in your cells that are primarily responsible for the cellular respiration process that uses oxygen to create ATP energy).
