Not exact matches

Vitamin E helps protect cells from damage and prevents blood clots, thrombosis and atherosclerosis by improving the body's use of oxygen.

She is challenged to use her nervous system to figure out space and her relationship to it, to breathe by herself, to circulate oxygen and nutrients to her entire body, to eat, digest, and eliminate.

The researchers used a room calorimeter, a 25m3 furnished chamber that measures movement, oxygen, carbon dioxide, temperature and pressure, to assess how dietary changes affected energy expenditure and the way nutrients were processed by the body.

The cell envelops the foreign body and exterminates it specifically by using reactive oxygen species (ozone, hydrogen peroxide, bleach), generated thanks to the enzyme NOX2.

By performing a high - intensity workout you use a great amount of oxygen making the body crave for more during the period of recovery.

For example, a study published by Japanese researchers in 2003 found that taking taurine supplements before working out for one week resulted in significant increases in VO2 max (which is the maximum capacity of the body to transport and use oxygen) in adult male subjects.

Iron deficiency anemia occurs as your body attempts to make up for the lost red blood cells by using your iron stores to make more hemoglobin, which can then carry oxygen on red blood cells.

These are generated in our body by its essential use of oxygen and on the skin by exposure to sunlight, airborne pollutants and some synthetic sunscreening agents.

Simply shine the light on a body part of your choice and the light will enhance oxygen use by cells.

VO2 (or oxygen consumption) is a measure of the volume of oxygen that is used by your body to convert the energy from the food you eat into the energy molecules, called adenosine triphosphate (ATP), that your body uses at the cellular level.

Physiologists have attempted to explain why it's necessary to include all three types of workouts in order to reach maximum performance by preaching that it has to do with the body's ability to process oxygen, using words like aerobic capacity, lactate threshold, and running economy.

For example if you haven't done much exercise for some time you may get to your target heart rate by walking fast but as your cardiovascular system improves, you will be improving your body's ability to take in and use oxygen, you will find that walking at the same pace will not result in the target heart rate and you will have to increase your intensity, either through increasing the speed or incline etc..

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).

Within those fibers are proteins, which are important for certain functions.1 Myoglobin, for example, stores oxygen which is then used by your body as energy when exercising.2

[1] One of these proteins is hemoglobin, a complex protein used by red blood cells to carry oxygen throughout the body.

While under anaesthesia your pet is cared for by one of our qualified and experienced veterinary nurses using our monitoring system, which tracks blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, body temperature and oxygen level.

The oxygen is used by our body, but the nitrogen is not and so it builds up.

True biotope entirely recyclable, this floating Ecopolis tends thus towards the positive eco-accountancy of the building in the oceanic ecosystems by producing and softening itself the oxygen and the electricity, by recycling the CO2 and the waste, by purifying and softening biologically the used waters and by integrating ecological niches, aquaculture fields and biotic corridors on and under its body to meet its own food needs.

But pollution also covers hundreds of chemicals which are fine or even beneficial at low levels but which if released in large quantities or in problematic circumstances cause «harm» — like phosphorus (grows your veges but also leads to toxic cyanobacterial blooms which kill cattle), nitrogen (grows crops kills many native species of plants and promotes weed growth costing farmers), copper (used as an oxygen carrier by gastropods but in high concentrations kills the life in sediments which feed fish), hormones like oestrogen (essential for regulating bodies but in high concentrations confuse reproductive cycles especially with marine life) or maybe molasses from a sugar mill (good for rum but when dumped into east coast estuaries used to cause oxygen sag in estuaries leading to massive fish kills).

It's a metric used to measure how fit you are, by assessing the amount of oxygen your body can take in and use as energy.

And by assessing your VO2Max — the measure of the maximum volume of oxygen that your body can use — it's able to quantify how your fitness is improving over time.
