Long-chain fatty acids are the main cardiac substrates from which ATP is generated continually to serve the high energy demand and sustain the normal function of the heart.
ROS is needed to sustain the normal rate of pollen tube growth and this is likely to be a general mechanism in the control of the growth of the tip of polarized plant cells (Potocký et al. 2007), which suggests that ROS is involved in auxin-induced pollen tube growth in the pistil of rice under heat stress.
One such system is the metabolism the set of chemical reactions needed to sustain the normal, healthy state of an organism.
The three-dimensional structure is maintained by a cytoskeleton, which is the vital structure that sustains the normal shape and function of cells.
For these experiments sporocysts were co-cultured with Bge cells, a cell line derived from embryos of B. glabrata snails, to sustain the normal development of larval schistosomes.
However, the treated rats (both males and female) appeared to sustain the normal liver function, as there was no reduction in the production of protein or albumin when compared to the treated group.
The critical necessity of vitamin A was hinted as early as 1881 by Nikolai Lunin, who discovered that purified protein, fat, and carbohydrate did not sustain the normal growth of mice, unless the diet was supplemented with milk.
In pollen, plasma membrane-localized NADPH oxidase (NOX) has been described as an active source of superoxide, needed to sustain the normal rate of pollen tube growth in Nicotiana [ 10].
An undemonstrated assumption in many studies with small-molecule inhibitors, including those with Aurora B, is that the enzymatic activity of the target is completely inhibited at the typical concentrations of inhibitors used, or anyway that residual activity is insufficient to sustain the normal function of the enzyme.
The Cx30 and Cx43 form heteromeric gap junctions between astrocytes and oligodendrocytes [ 30], and are thought to play a vital role for the delivery, removal and general flow of ions, osmotic water and metabolites that sustain the normal functioning of oligodendrocytes [ 16].
