A problem with the basement membrane could, all by itself, explain almost all the organ breakdowns Stiers has experienced since the age of 10. "I would bet you practically anything that all these things are related," Gahl said.
Consequently, it is also the main organ for breakdown of stored TAG via lipolysis for peroxisomal and mitochondrial β-oxidation as well as for de novo synthesis of fatty acids from the precursor acetyl-CoA.
Organ function breakdown can then lead to increased incidence of infection and sepsis, ultimately leading to multi-organ failure and death.
Among the hazards of obesity listed by Dr. Higgins are skeletal breakdown, serious organ disorders, and shortened life-span.
The liver is the prime organ for alcohol metabolism and breakdown of ACA into acetate via ALDH enzyme.
Additionally at GS 65 and GS 92, sub-samples consisting of 20 of the largest fertile shoots were taken for breakdown into component organs.
In a study analyzing the contribution of CMA to protein breakdown in various organs of fasted rats, it was speculated that increased proteolysis in the liver and heart of fasted animals involves activation of CMA, but that this does not occur in skeletal muscles (Wing et al., 1991).
Exomeres carry metabolic enzymes to the liver, an organ that is central to the breakdown of drugs into nontoxic forms.
Unlike whole-brain and higher-brain death, loss of respiration and circulation leads relentlessly to the breakdown of cells, tissues, organs, bodily systems, and eventually the organism as a whole.
The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of substances in multicellular organisms that occur at the tissue, organ, or organismal level.
