Not exact matches

Derived from Greek terms meaning «self - eating,» the autophagy system sends protein aggregates and malfunctioning cellular components into acidic compartments called lysosomes, where enzymes chew them up.

Together with her colleagues Margaret MacGibeny, an M.D. / Ph.D. student, then - postdoctoral researcher Ian Hogue, and Lynn Enquist, the lab's principal investigator and the Henry L. Hillman Professor in Molecular Biology, Koyuncu has used this unique latency model system to reveal specific cellular and viral components that can prevent the infection from going to sleep.

Certain particle compounds may directly generate ROS in vivo because of their surface chemistry (eg, metals, organic compounds, and semiquinones) or after bioactivation by cytochrome P450 systems (eg, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon conversion to quinones).6, 290 a, 290 b A particle surface or anions present on otherwise more inert particles may disrupt iron homeostasis in the lung and thereby also generate ROS via Fenton reactions.291 Other PM constituents may do so indirectly by the upregulation of endogenous cellular sources (eg, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate [NADPH]-RRB- oxidase) 292,293 or by perturbing organelle function (eg, mitochondria) by taken - up PM components.261 Particle stimulation of irritant and afferent ANS fibers may also play a role in local and systemic oxidative stress formation.294 Given the rich antioxidant defenses in the lung fluid, secondarily generated oxidization products of endogenous molecules (eg, oxidized phospholipids, proteins) or a reduction in endogenous antioxidants per se may be responsible at least in part for the state of oxidative stress in the lungs (along with instigating the subsequent cellular responses) rather than ROS derived directly from PM and its constituents.

For starters, drinking water on an empty stomach will purify your colon, enabling better absorption of nutrients all throughout the day, encourage the production of hematopoiesis (the formation of blood cellular components) and fire up your metabolism, thereby priming your entire internal system for a great beginning of the new day.

Besides their muscle - building properties proteins manufacture hormones, enzymes, cellular messengers, nucleic acids, and immune - system components.

Mitochondrial damage further drains cellular energy by creating a disproportionate need for repair, perpetuating a vicious cycle.21 Mitochondrial dysfunction can affect immunity, digestion, cognition and any energy - intensive system within the body and is a key component of many chronic illnesses.

This fluid may contains cellular debris, toxins, cancer cells, bacteria, and viruses, as it flows to filters, called lymph nodes, which are central components of the immune system.
