This pathway maintains nutrients levels for vital cellular functions during periods of starvation and it provides cells with survival advantages under various stress situations.
Farmers in the project learn how to maintain the nutrient levels in soil, prevent erosion and increase water retention at model demonstration plots.
Autophagy acts as a starvation response to maintain cellular nutrient levels and helps to regulate intracellular organelle homeostasis.
To ensure you maintain sufficient nutrient levels, supplementation is often necessary.
We observe a surprising ability of the mutant to maintain nutrient homeostasis, but demonstrate a major defect in maintaining sufficient levels of the macronutrient potassium.
Water loss through absorption into PDMS would be detrimental in cell culture that relies on specific concentrations of solutes to maintain pH and nutrient levels.
The IVOC medium was replaced after 4 hours, to maintain pH and nutrient levels, and the tissue re-inoculated with bacteria as before.
It is hypothesized that neovascularization in the schistosome granuloma may be necessary to maintain oxygen and nutrient levels, in a similar way as in rapidly growing tumors [ 37, 38].
But various physiological homeostatic mechanisms exist to maintain systemic and cellular nutrient levels within a safe and adequate range. 1 These mechanisms provide stability to the organism, and allow the body to adjust to the intake of a wide variety of foods, differing in nutrient contents, as present in most human diets.
For the majority of the experiment, target nutrient levels were maintained.
