  • Lead interferes with the synthesis of heme, resulting in accumulation of ALA in tissues and elevated excretion of ALA in urine, elevation of zinc protoporphyrin in erythrocyte, reductions in blood hemoglobin, and in a hypochromic, normocytic anemia at higher levels of exposure. (cdc.gov)
  • The peptide exit tunnel is lined with hydrophobic residues, which stabilise the highly hydrophobic nascent mitochondrial peptides 4 . (nature.com)
  • In the interaction with proteins, lead binds with virtually every available functional group, including sulfhydryl, amine, phosphate, and carboxyl groups, with sulfhydryl having the highest affinity. (cdc.gov)

  • So the question begs, what is the optimal amount of load, and time under tension of this load, you should subject your muscles to in order to achieve maximum muscle growth, as well as maximum protein synthesis and tissue repair? (labrada.com)
  • Several researchers recently performed a very interesting study to examine the effects of increased time under tension with respect to protein synthesis, which is a major indicator of muscle growth. (labrada.com)
