Sentences with phrase «receptor system efficiency»

Not exact matches

Specifically, when capsaicin frequently binds to receptors within the human central nervous system's TRPV1 channel (the sensory receptor system for pain and heat detection), these receptors deplete and this depletion results in a whole host of benefits for the central nervous system at large, including terminating cancer cells, increasing the metabolic rate and digestive efficiency, increasing circulatory blood flow, and combatting inflammation, and making you feel better about the world.

By examining a number of receptor systems (see figure), the researchers demonstrated that receptor system response can be characterized as being either avidity - controlled, which depends primarily on ligand capture efficiency; consumption - controlled, where the ability to internalize surface - bound ligand is the primary control parameter; and dual - sensitive, in which both the avidity and consumption parameters are important.
