Quotes About Oxidation

1. Increases muscle mass 2. Decreases muscle damage 3. Accelerates repair and recovery 4. Replenishes glycogen stores in the muscle 5. Increases Nitric Oxide (NO) synthesis thereby increasing blood flow 6. Increases fat oxidation, burning more fat 7. Increases protein synthesis 8. Increases removal of waste products such as lactic acid 9. Replenishes energy stores such as creatine phosphate

The body concentrates vitamin C around brain and nerve cells specifically to protect them from oxidation and free-radical damage, because vitamin C is one of nature's most powerful antioxidants.

The bad thing about galvanized pipes is they rust, and over the years they can get corroded. It's just kinda gross.

one molecule of vitamin C is oxidized by one free radical. (This one-to-one chemistry is called a stoichiometric reaction by chemists.) Can you imagine how much vitamin C or other oral antioxidant it would take to neutralize the untold number of free radicals generated by the body on a daily basis?

when the omega-3 fats EPA and DHA are oxidized, they significantly activate the Nrf2 pathway. For

As Dr. Gao reported, "Our data support the hypothesis that the formation of… compounds generated from oxidation of EPA and DHA in vivo can reach concentrations high enough to induce Nrf2-based antioxidant and… detoxification defense systems.

reduce the risk of LDL oxidation—not necessarily levels of LDL itself. A principal player in that risk of oxidation is higher levels of glucose; LDL is far more likely to become oxidized in the presence of sugar molecules that will bind to it and change its shape. Glycosylated

But a caveat: Once free radicals damage the LDL molecule, it's rendered much less capable of delivering cholesterol to the brain. In addition to oxidation destroying the LDL's function, sugar can also render it dysfunctional by binding to it and accelerating oxidation. And when that happens, LDL is no longer able to enter the astrocyte, a cell charged with nourishing neurons. In

An epitome of the whole of life lies right in front of us, in the perpetual processes of re-oxidation and de-oxidation of the Hydrogens, within a single drop of water....that's also the essence of life on our Planet Earth and the Universe, by God's Grace.

An epitome of the whole of life on Earth lies right in front of us, in the perpetual processes of re-oxidation and de-oxidation of the Hydrogens in a drop of water.

Dans une seule goutte d'eau se trouve un résumé de l'ensemble de la vie, juste en face de nous, dans les cycles continus de l'oxydation et de l'oxydation des atomes d'hydrogène qui y sont.

En una sola gota de agua se encuentra un epítome de toda la vida, justo en frente de nosotros, en los ciclos continuos de oxidación y de-oxidación de los átomos de hidrógeno en el mismo.

Un résumé de l'ensemble de la vie sur terre se trouve juste en face de nous, dans les processus perpétuel de re-oxydation et de l'oxydation des atomes d'hydrogène dans une goutte d'eau.

After returning from Cambridge in 1936, I did some work with J. M. Mioz on the oxidation of fatty acids in liver.

Avoid scrambled eggs. Scrambling oxidizes the cholesterol, and oxidized cholesterol increases the risk of atherosclerosis.

And more and more studies and reports were coming out demonstrating that the real initiators of damage in the arteries were oxidation and inflammation, with cholesterol more or less in the role of innocent bystander. Oxidation and inflammation, along with sugar and stress (more on that in chapters 4 and 8), were clearly what aged the human body the most.

cholesterol in the body is never a problem until it becomes oxidized. It's only this oxidized cholesterol—specifically, pattern B LDL cholesterol—that is a problem, because pattern B LDL molecules are the ones that adhere to the cell walls and initiate or accelerate the process of inflammation

Phlogiston was without color, smell, weight, or taste. When you burned something, you were dephlogisticating it—that is, driving all of the phlogiston out of the material. Often this left behind only ash.

When a New Yorker looks like he has a suntan, it's probably rust.

The tanned appearance of many New Englanders is not sunburn - it is rust.

We managed to prepare a cell-free system which was active when suitably supplemented, and this was a novel result since the process of oxidation was believed to require the integrity of the cells.

The most expensive of all was verdigris, which was made by hanging copper strips over a vat of horse dung and vinegar and then scraping off the oxidized copper that resulted. It is the same process that turns copper domes and statues green – just quicker and more commercial – and it made 'the delicatest Grass-green in the world', as one eighteenth-century admirer enthused. A room painted in verdigris always produced an appreciative 'ah' in visitors.

Recently a promising chemical called resveratrol has been isolated. Resveratrol, found in red wine, helps to activate the sirtuin molecule, which has been shown to slow down the oxidation process, a principle component in aging, and therefore it may help protect the body from age-related molecular damage.

For example, aging in a car takes place mainly in the engine, where the oxidation and wear and tear take the greatest toll. The "engines" of a cell are the mitochondria. That's where sugars are oxidized to extract energy.
