Definition
Each cell and each tissue has its own activity, which entails continuous changes in the biochemical state thereof. At the base are enzymes, which have the power to catalyse, facilitate and speed up certain synthetic and analytic processes. It is genes themselves that regulate enzyme production; therefore, genes, and enzymes can be considered as the fundamental units of life.
Life is, in summary, a chain of enzymatic processes, from those that have the simplest materials as substrates, such as the water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) present in plants to form carbohydrates, to the most complicated ones that use very complex substrates.
Without enzymes, life as we know it would not be possible. The same as the biocatalysis that regulates the speed at which physiological processes take place, enzymes carry out definitive functions related to health and disease. Such that, in a healthy system, all physiological processes take place in an orderly fashion and homeostasis is conserved. During pathological states, the latter can be profoundly disrupted. For example, the serious tissue damage that is characteristic of liver cirrhosis can notably deteriorate the property of cells to produce enzymes that catalyse key metabolic processes, such as the synthesis of urea. The inability of cells to convert toxic ammonia to non-toxic urea is followed by ammonia intoxication and, ultimately, hepatic coma. A set of rare, but often debilitating and even fatal, genetic diseases provides other examples of the drastic physiological consequences that can result from the deterioration of enzyme activity, even it is of a single enzyme.
Following serious tissue damage (for example, a pulmonary or myocardial infarction, crushing of a limb) or following unbridled cell multiplication (for example, prostate cancer), the enzymes inherent to specific tissues pass into the bloodstream. Therefore, the detection of these intracellular enzymes in the bloodstream provides doctors with valuable information for diagnostic and prognostic purposes. The importance of the oxidative phosphoryldation enzymes contained in Zymocell 2G consists in the direct relationship of the enzymatic reactions with the energy that is available in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Without a continuous production of these energy-carrying molecules, consciousness and life itself are impossible. A low ATP production level causes fatigue and inactivity. Zymocell 2G contains enzymes for the synthesis of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) in adenosine trisphosphate (ATP), and thus contributes significantly to the activity of other enzymes.
