- ... formed which stimulates the synthesis of enzymes. With the stimulus of enzymes in the body, protein synthesis is also increased. One enzyme system that is placed into the body by the receptor is the ribonucleic acid (RNA)-polymerose system. This system promotes cellular protein metabolism and synthesis which utilizes nitrogen. By utilizing the nitrogen, the anabolic action is increased, which leads to larger muscle size and strength. Anabolic steroids also increase ...

- ... through the door. After the staff physician takes a thorough medical history and performs the initial physical exam, the patient is hooked up to an IV solution, out of which drips high doses of ascorbic acid (vitamin C, a powerful detoxifier), calcium, magnesium, B vitamins (which help eliminate withdrawal symptoms), evening primrose oil (a natural anticonvulsant) and a full spectrum of amino acids including glutamine (an alternative form of glucose that ...

- ... the filovirus family contain a nucleocapsid consisting of a dark central space surrounded by a helical capsid, the outer protein coat of a cell. A channel exists in the nucleocapsid. This is where the Nucleic acid (DNA) is stored. "The viral partical is surrounded by a lipoprotein unit membrane envelope derived from the host cell plasma membrane. Spikes of approximately 7nm, spaced at approx 10nm intervals are visible on the viron ...

- ... surrounding normal tissue, and virtually destroy it, (Grolier Electronic Encyclopedia, Cancer). The question is, what exactly is cancer? Cancer, is the break down and mutation of the cells of the body, when the DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) sequences in those molecules are disrupted and errors form in the structures, (Grolier, Genetic Code). This mutation spreads through surrounding tissue until it disrupts major systems in the body (such as respiratory, digestive and waste ...

- ... Delta hepatitis can also become chronic. A retrovirus is a virus that reproduces itself in a manner distinct from that of most other viruses. The core of any virus is a single molecule of nucleic acid, either DNA or RNA. When a virus invades a cell, this genetic material is usually replicated in its orignial form. A number of RNA viruses, however, make a facsimile of their genetic material in the ...
