anabolism

Examples of anabolism in the following topics:

• Catabolic-Anabolic Steady State

  • Anabolic reactions require energy.
  • ATP, a high energy molecule, couples anabolism by the release of free energy.
  • Anabolism is the opposite of catabolism.
  • Anabolic hormones include growth hormone, testosterone and estrogen.
  • Anabolic reactions constitute divergent processes.

• Anabolic Steroids and Muscles

  • Anabolic steroids , known technically as anabolic-androgen steroids (AAS) or colloquially as "steroids" (or even "roids"), are drugs that mimic the effects of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone in the body.
  • They increase protein synthesis within cells, which results in the buildup of cellular tissue (anabolism), especially in muscles.
  • The pharmacodynamics of anabolic steroids are unlike peptide hormones.
  • However, as fat-soluble hormones, anabolic steroids are membrane-permeable, and influence the nucleus of cells by direct action.
  • Anabolic steroids are testosterone and dihydrotestosterone hormone mimics that stimulate anabolism, specifically protein synthesis and muscle hypertrophy.

• Metabolic Pathways

  • An anabolic pathway requires energy and builds molecules while a catabolic pathway produces energy and breaks down molecules.
  • The first of these processes requires energy and is referred to as anabolic.
  • Anabolic pathways require an input of energy to synthesize complex molecules from simpler ones.
  • One example of an anabolic pathway is the synthesis of sugar from CO2.
  • Anabolic pathways are those that require energy to synthesize larger molecules.

• Absorptive State

  • When the gastrointestinal tract is full, anabolism exceeds catabolism; this is the absorptive state.
  • During this sleep period, anabolic processes are busy building up stores of fats and glycogen that will be needed in the future to provide energy for the growing baby.
  • Absorptive state is the period in which the gastrointestinal tract is full and the anabolic processes exceed catabolism.

• Repression of Anabolic Pathways

  • Repression of anabolic pathways is regulated by altering transcription rates.

• Biosynthesis and Energy

  • Biosynthesis is often referred to as the anabolism branch of metabolism that results in complex proteins such as vitamins.
  • Biosynthetic metabolism (also known as anabolism) involves the synthesis of macromolecules from specific building blocks.

• Human Metabolism

  • Anabolism is the building up of molecules from smaller units.
  • Anabolism uses up the energy produced by the catabolic break down of your food to create molecules more useful to your body.

• Liver Function

  • The liver also produces insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), a polypeptide protein hormone that plays an important role in childhood growth and continues to have anabolic effects in adults.

• Aging and the Skeleton

  • Exercise with its anabolic effect may, at the same time, stop or reverse osteoporosis.

• Transforming Chemical Energy

  • Because they synthesize new molecules, these processes are examples of anabolism.
