Metabolic pathway provides cues for cancer, aging and health care
In biochemistry, a metabolic pathway is a linked series of chemical reactions occurring within a cell. The reactants, products, and intermediates of an enzymatic reaction are known as metabolites, which are modified by a sequence of chemical reactions catalyzed by enzymes.[1] In a metabolic pathway, the product of one enzyme acts as the substrate forContinue reading “Metabolic pathway provides cues for cancer, aging and health care”
Changes in mineral metabolism in chronic kidney disease, an ebook
Abstract With progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD), disorders of mineral metabolism appear. The classic sequence of events begins with a deficit of calcitriol synthesis and retention of phosphorus. As a result of this, serum calcium decreases and parathyroid hormone (PTH) is stimulated, producing in the bone the high turnover (HT) bone disease known asContinue reading “Changes in mineral metabolism in chronic kidney disease, an ebook”
