Cyanide binds with an enzyme involved in cellular oxygen transport.

Not exact matches

These enzymes in turn produce cellular energy and regulate nerve transmission, blood clotting, and oxygen transport.

Cardiorespiratory fitness is a measure of how well your body is able to transport oxygen to your muscles during prolonged exercise, and also of how well your muscles are able to absorb and use the oxygen, once it has been delivered, to generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP) energy via cellular respiration (cellular respiration is a chemical process in your body's cells that converts the energy stored in the food you eat into the ATP form of energy that is recruited for use by your muscles).

• Help regulate oxygen uses and energy production • Important in nerve, muscle and cellular functions • Play a vital role in cognitive function, including memory and mood • Involved in regulation of metabolism, body temperature, blood sugar and insulin control, thyroid function, carbohydrate metabolism and control over hormonal processes • Lubricate joints and improve mineralization of bones • Help transport cholesterol • Improve digestion of the gut • Build the immune system and regulate inflammatory response • Can help direct the processes that stimulate fat breakdown and utilization • Helps regulate blood pressure

Sulfur enables the transport of oxygen across cell membranes and not only is oxygen needed for healthy cellular regeneration in humans, it is the lack of oxygen that helps cancer cells to grow.

In the altered state, the enzyme will not function properly in transporting oxygen across cellular membranes.

Cyanide causes damage at the cellular level because it blocks oxygen transport across the cell membrane.
