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”
Macular degeneration dietary supplementation
By Dr Mercola The human retina is about the size of a postage stamp andthe macula only about the size of a pencil tip. Yet hundreds of millions of light-receptor cellsare employed. Cone cells produce color vision and are located in the macula.Rod cells produce black and white for night vision. The cone cells arelocated inContinue reading “Macular degeneration dietary supplementation”

Further genetic andContinue reading “Diet for the elderly”
Dopamine pathways and Parkinson
Dopamine pathways is to Parkinson and Serotonin pathway is to Alzheimer’s Dopaminergic pathways, sometimes called dopaminergic projections, are neural pathways in the brain that transmit the neurotransmitter dopamine from one region of the brain to another.[1][2] The neurons of the dopaminergic pathways have axons that run the entire length of the pathway. The neurons’ somataContinue reading “Dopamine pathways and Parkinson”
LEAN DIETS, LONG LIFE, AND THE MITOCHONDRIA
Parkinson’s disease and Mitochondria as the oxygen-consuming power plants of human cells Mitochondrial maintenance is essential for cellular and organismal function. Maintenance includes reactive oxygen species (ROS) regulation, DNA repair, fusion–fission, and mitophagy. Loss of function of these pathways leads to disease. Mitochondria are the oxygen-consuming power plants of cells. They provide a critical milieuContinue reading “LEAN DIETS, LONG LIFE, AND THE MITOCHONDRIA”
