  • These powerful compounds help to neutralize harmful free radicals, which can cause damage to cells and disrupt the energy production process. (nutritionnuances.com)
  • It's an organic compound made within your cell's mitochondria and what it's essential for is giving you energy so that your muscles will contract, or your nerves fire and even chemicals in your body synthesize. (healthasitoughttobe.com)
  • Most important is that ATP acts like a battery for your cells and stores deep reserves of energy within its chemical bonds. (healthasitoughttobe.com)
  • When magnesium levels begin to get too low the body tries very hard to adapt, but these basic functions of energy production and cell structure can be affected, and when they are, symptoms of heart or cardiovascular disease can begin to manifest. (healthasitoughttobe.com)
  • 2) the malate-aspartate shuttle, which involves taking apart NADH molecules so they can be reassembled in the mitochondria of cells in the heart and liver to produce more energy. (avivahealth.com)
  • The aerobic organisms use mitochondria as the main generator of energy for the realization of its vital functions. (psychosocialsomatic.com)
  • This enzyme is active in mitochondria, which are the energy-producing centers within cells. (medlineplus.gov)
  • Due to its special position in the urea cycle, L arginine can reduce blood ammonia concentration and reduce body cell damage. (mgm-biochem.com)
  • Genes are simply lengths of DNA that contain the code for a particular protein product, which the DNA delivers to the cell's protein-assembly machinery through the molecule RNA (ribonucleic acid). (sciencing.com)
