Sentences with phrase «energy than other cells»

The cells of the brain require twice as much energy than other cells of the body and water is the most effective provider of this energy.

These include metabolic genes that provide the fuel for a brain, seeing as nervous tissue requires a lot more energy than other cells.»

Not exact matches

Other kinds of congenital anomalies that are sometimes found with this condition are, as previously mentioned, Down Syndrome, shorter intestines than normal, lower birth weight, and an imbalance of electrolytes, which are the elements in the blood, tissue and cell fluid needed to help the person balance their energy.

Among other things, giant cell circulation helps transport energy from the sun's polar regions to its equator, where material rotates around the sun about 10 days faster than it does near the poles.

LONDON — Wellcome Trust, the United Kingdom's largest biomedical research charity, today announced more than # 4 million in support for a pioneering, and potentially controversial, IVF treatment that could prevent some forms of muscular dystrophy and other diseases caused by defective mitochondria, the energy - generating organelle in cells.

«While conventional silicon - based solar cells are more efficient than algae - powered cells in the fraction of the sun's energy they turn to electrical energy, there are attractive possibilities with other types of materials,» says Professor Christopher Howe from the Department of Biochemistry.

More than one hundred vitamin B6 - dependent enzymes have been identified, mostly involved in amino acid metabolism: for oxygen transport via hemoglobin synthesis; in blood sugar regulation via conversion of stored carbohydrate to energy; in the development of the myelin sheath surrounding nerve cells; in the conversion of alphalinoleic acid to the essential long - chain fatty acid DHA; 28 and in the synthesis of neurotransmitters, phospholipids and sphingolipids, the vitamin niacin from tryptophan, and other vital metabolites.5 In addition to its role in enzyme reactions, B6 appears to moderate the action of some steroid hormones such as the glucocorticoid hormones, which in turn influence the metabolism of protein, carbohydrate and lipids.5, 9 B6 also is a potent antioxidant, rivaling carotenoids and vitamin E in its ability to quench reactive oxidants in the body.29

Isoleucine can be seen as the BCAA which mediates glucose uptake (into a cell) and breakdown (into energy) to a larger degree than other amino acids and may serve a role as a hypoglycemic (in diabetics) or as a performance enhancer (if taken preworkout in a carbohydrate replete state).

Other than increasing your focus levels, ALCAR's main role is escorting fatty acids to the cell's mitochondria where they are acted on releasing energy.

This is done by metabolizing fat which not only provides concentrated energy but nutrition to build muscle and other tissue rather than catabolize it, mitochondria size & levels in muscle cells, hormonal balance, minimize oxidative stress and build a robust biome.

Isoleucine is also known to increase glucose uptake in the cell and works to break it down into energy at a larger degree than any other amino acid.

Researchers theorize that tumor cells utilize carbohydrates (found in sugar, grains, starchy vegetables and the like) more readily than energy from other sources such as fat.

Once lauded as the future of clean transportation and energy storage in a variety of other applications, hydrogen - based fuel cell systems have a great many barriers to adoption, one of which is lack of hydrogen infrastructure, and the other is the need to develop hydrogen production sources that aren't fossil fuel - based or that require more energy to produce than can be released in the fuel cell.

Alternative energy is a joke, which doesn't take into account anything other than the fact that they burn clean as the so - called environmentalists want to believe that the only problem that exists today is global warming (nevermind the other problems exist, nevermind that mining is ruining our world as well, nevermind that cell phone towers are killing between 5 and 50 million migratory song birds every year or that dams are killing the salmon off, no none of this matters apparently).

We don't yet know when this will be a finished product, or if it will be something anyone other than a millionaire can afford, but it's pretty great to see a cell phone's power being supplemented by kinetic energy in an elegant way.

Those constituents are being acted upon by the same gravitational «force» acting on the cell, and the work they do is going to cancel any change in overall energy due to gravitation other than that due to the tidal forces.
