Sentences with phrase «of citric acid cycle»

As discussed by Robergs and Roberts [22], amino acid catabolism during exercise is important for three reasons: 1) for free energy during exercise to fuel muscle contraction; 2) to increase concentrations of citric acid cycle intermediates and therefore support carbohydrate and lipid catabolism; and 3) to serve as gluconeogenic precursors.

Other enzymes impaired by mercury include those of the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain, leading to low ATP energy.

It's particularly because components of the citric acid cycle, specifically isocitrate dehydrogenases 1 and 2 (IDH1 and IDH2) have recently emerged as oncogenes that are recurrently mutated in gliomas and leukemias.

The other subpopulation preferentially imports lactate, using it as the main energy source by harnessing part of the citric acid cycle.

Not exact matches

This synthesis kicks off the citric acid cycle (or Krebs cycle), a set of chemical reactions that creates usable energy from fat, protein and carbohydrates.

When I think of biochemicals and the cycles run in the body that are necessary to produce energy I think of these four basic things: 1) ATP (adenosine triphosphate)-- one main «energy» molecule; 2) the citric acid (or Kreb's cycle); 3) the electron - transport chain; and 4) a process known as glycolysis.

Since vitamin B12 is important for maintaining proper supplies of succinyl - coA in the citric acid cycle, it is important for supporting all aerobic energy metabolism.

At the heart of this process is a metabolic cycle called the citric acid cycle and included within this cycle is a molecule called succinyl - coA.

Step 4: The pyruvate is at the beginning of a chain reaction called the «Citric Acid Cycle» or «Krebs Cycle.»

Source of carbon and nitrogen — Glutamine donates carbon to the citric acid cycle and nitrogen for the synthesis of purines

[7] Amino acids also contribute to cellular energy metabolism by providing a carbon source for entry into the citric acid cycle (tricarboxylic acid cycle), [8] especially when a primary source of energy, such as glucose, is scarce, or when cells undergo metabolic stress.

DMSA is an analogue of many intermediates in the Krebs or citric acid cycle, a central pathway for the metabolism of fats, carbohydrates, and amino acids.

Both items contribute to the mitochondria not obtaining enough pyruvate and this hinders both the Citric Acid Cycle and the Electron Transport Chain and thus blocks the production of an adequate amount of ATP in the mitochondria.

Even under conditions of extreme ketoacidosis there is no significant membrane barrier to glucose uptake — the block occurs «lower down» in the metabolic pathway where the excess of ketones competitively blocks the metabolites of glucose entering the citric acid cycle.

(a) The oxidative catabolism of free fatty acids and amino acids (via the Respiratory Chain and Citric Acid Cycle) might be inhibited in hypoxic cancer cells via the judicious use of agents which inhibit their availability, i.e., partially inhibit hepatic fatty acid synthesis and keep plasma amino acid levels within the normal range, thus decreasing ATP productAcid Cycle) might be inhibited in hypoxic cancer cells via the judicious use of agents which inhibit their availability, i.e., partially inhibit hepatic fatty acid synthesis and keep plasma amino acid levels within the normal range, thus decreasing ATP productacid synthesis and keep plasma amino acid levels within the normal range, thus decreasing ATP productacid levels within the normal range, thus decreasing ATP production;

I have delivered term papers, dissertations, assignments, case studies on several topics and some of them are Atomic Theory, Ionic Bonding, Endothermic & Exothermic Reactions, Citric Acid Cycle, etc..
