These results support the hypothesis that membrane sterols are involved in maintenance of normal growth capacity of plant organs against gravity.
These results suggest that the up-regulation of the expression of tubulin genes is involved in gravity-induced modification of microtubule dynamics, which may play an important role in the resistance of plant organs to the gravitational force and maintenance of normal growth phenotype.
For the silkworm, both the maintenance of normal growth and development for itself and proliferation of bacteria in its hemolymph need nucleotide acids for the transmission of genetic information and protein synthesis.
Researchers also demonstrated that vitamin A deficiency can be harmful for protein synthesis and maintenance of normal growth and metabolism, and decrease the body resistance to infection [ 8, 9].
While the various nutrients are required for normal growth, maintenance, and repair of tissue, excess nutrient intake can cause adverse effects.
It is particularly unacceptable that this behavior concerned substances which are vital elements for nutrition essential for normal growth and maintenance of life".
Data for filter feeders suggest that, in certain cases, continuous filtration at maximal rates may be barely sufficient to support normal growth and maintenance.
Not surprisingly, high consumers of added sugars also had the lowest intake of the five food groups (grains, fruits, vegetables, protein foods and dairy products), which are critical to normal growth and health maintenance.
Apoptosis is a fundamental homeostatic mechanism essential for the normal growth, development and maintenance of every tissue and organ.
Nutrition counseling and education involve teaching individuals with PAH deficiency and/or their caregivers the importance of the diet in maintaining appropriate blood PHE, normal growth, and health maintenance while ensuring that they have the necessary skills to adhere to the diet throughout the life span.
