Metabolism, Catabolism, and Anabolism

The chemical activities that take place in the body are its metabolism.  Two phases of metabolism are catabolism and anabolism.

Catabolism, the breaking down phase of metabolism, provides energy required for anabolism which is the building phase of metabolism.  For example, catabolism generates the energy needed for muscle contraction and for growth.  Cellular respiration is the catabolic process in which nutrients are broken down and their energy packaged within a special storage molecule called ATP (adenosine triphosphate) for use by the cell.  Cellular respiration requires oxygen as well as nutrients.

Anabolism is the building, or synthetic phase of metabolism.  During anabolism energy is used to make chemical compounds and structures needed by the cell.  These chemical compounds are needed for growth, maintenance and repair of the body.

  2. My husband was diagnosed with systemic mastocytosis last year and did go to the NIH and see Dr. Robyn twice. He had already had the bone marrow biopsy and aspiration, as well as the tryptase level test. Basically, they did some blood work there and took extensive medical history from my husband. They told us to go home and our local physician could follow up with him as well as anyone could since there are really no specialist doctors to see locally. They said if there were changes to follow up in about a year. He did go back about a month ago and found out that Dr. Robyn was going to leave. We made a research on local herbal medicine and we found out there is a cure with natural herbs and roots medicine.Of Dr James the great herbal doctor from west Africa, on how he uses his herbal medicine to cure several diseases like SHINGLES,WARTS, HERPES,CANCER,HEPATITIS,DIABETES HIV/AIDS,AND MASTOCYTOSIS,and we proceeded and contacted him on his email Drjamesherbalmix@gmail.com..and he said he will help us. 2 days later you told us the herbal medicine is ready and he sent it to us.After 3 weeks of the usage as he prescribed to us.believe me my husband was truly cured of Mastocytosis.You can reach the Herbal Doctor on Drjamesherbalmix@gmail.com
