anabolism /anab·o·lism/ (ah-nab´o-lizm) the constructive process by which living cells convert simple substances into more complex compounds, especially into living matter.anabol´ic
anabolism (  ·naˑ·b·liˈ·zm),n constructive metabolism in which complex substances are synthesized from simple ones. anabolism (  nab´lizm),n the constructive process by which substances are converted from simple to complex forms by living cells; constructive metabolism. anabolism the constructive phase of metabolism, in which the body cells synthesize protoplasm for growth and repair. The manner in which this synthesis takes place is directed by the genetic code carried by the molecules of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). The 'building blocks' for this synthesis of protoplasm are obtained from amino acids and other nutritive elements in the diet. How to thank TFD for its existence?

The results
from these initial short-term studies suggested that long-term rhGH
administration might stimulate whole-body protein anabolism enough to
reverse the loss in lean body mass and muscle mass associated with
advancing age. The continued demand for glucose
and amino acids for fetal anabolism [tissue building] causes a state of
'accelerated starvation. The book first covers the chemical, physical and biological basics,
including wastewater characteristics, microbial metabolism, determining
stoichiometric equations for catabolism and anabolism, measurements of
mass transfer and respiration rates and the aerobic treatment of
wastewater loaded with dissolved organics. |
