Where we list all the massive words to better digest them.
The acid-base balance is an essential concept for maintaining an optimal state of health and largely linked to the quality of the diet.
A state of acidosis indicates that the body's pH is too acidic and can lead to pathologies.
Made of fat.
Gather into a compact or cohesive mass, give a unified appearance.
Said of a liquid or food which has a basifying action (anti-acidity) and which increases the PH.
Composition of a protein in amino acids. This is a very important table to consult so as not to be fooled.
Amino acids are molecules that enter into the composition of proteins thanks to their assembly by bonds called peptides.
These are the first hormones that athletes think of when talking about doping. These are steroids, beta-blockers and peptide hormones.
Anabolism is the set of chemical reactions of molecular synthesis of the considered organism. It is anabolism that allows the creation of muscle. It is the opposite of catabolism, a set of degradation reactions.
Anabolism is the set of chemical reactions leading to the molecular synthesis of an organism. We talk about muscle anabolism when a muscle grows and becomes massive!
Action that prevents muscle destruction also called "catabolism" (for example, the fact of taking proteins).
This enzyme is involved in the urea cycle and catalyzes the hydrolysis of arginine into urea and ornithine.
Which contains live micro-organisms (bacteria, yeasts, etc.) that have a beneficial effect on the organism that ingests them (probiotics).
Articulated succession of vertebrae, which supports the entire skeleton.
The hydrolysis can be carried out chemically or enzymatically. It is a digestive process.
May cause or promote cancer.
Chlorogenic acid is an organic phenolic acid, which is found in high concentrations in coffee and in low quantities in certain vegetables such as carrots or artichokes. It is recognized for its natural antioxidant, antiviral, bactericidal and fungicidal properties.
Chromatography is a physico-chemical method used to separate the different substances present in a mixture.
Toxic, dangerous for health.
A diuretic is a substance that causes an increase in urinary secretion and helps stimulate the kidneys so that they can eliminate more electrolytes and water through urine.
The endocrine system is made up of all the organs (endocrine glands) that have a function of secreting hormones, as well as other endocrine cells scattered outside these endocrine organs. A good balance is associated with good health.
Chemical reaction, catalyzed by enzymes of the hydrolase type, during which a water molecule necessarily intervenes and which leads to the splitting of a compound. It's sort of a digestive process.
The process of "burning" fat by using it as a means of providing energy.
Genomics is a discipline of modern biology. It studies the functioning of an organism, an organ, a cancer, etc. at the scale of the genome, instead of being limited to the scale of a single gene.
Glutathione is a protein naturally produced by the body. It is a tripeptide, composed of three amino acids: glutamate (glutamic acid), cysteine and glycine. It is an immune stimulant.
which relates to the liver.
Hyaluronic acid is a natural constituent of the dermis which acts like a sponge by capturing and maintaining water and allows good hydration of the skin and the reduction of wrinkles. Its quantity and quality unfortunately decrease with age but can be increased thanks to collagen supplementation in particular.
For organic substances such as proteins, hydrolysis is equivalent to the breaking of the peptide bonds between the different amino acids which constitute them.
For organic substances such as proteins, hydrolysis is equivalent to the breaking of the peptide bonds between the different amino acids which constitute them.
Tissue or organ hypertrophy is the increase in volume of a tissue or organ, such as muscles, due to cellular hypertrophy or hyperplasia.
Which causes hypoglycaemia (decrease or insufficiency in the level of glucose).
Reduce or prevent a chemical or psychological reaction.
Which inhibits, which slows down a process, which obstructs.
Carbohydrate close to starch, present in the root of the inula and other plants and having a prebiotic effect.
Which produces ions.
Electromagnetic or particle radiation capable of directly or indirectly producing ions as it passes through matter.
Lactium® is a natural molecule derived from milk. More specifically, it is a milk protein hydrolyzate that has been filtered to isolate only a single bioactive peptide. This decapeptide, alpha-casozepine, was discovered because it calms and makes babies sleep after consuming milk.
Term that designates something soluble in contact with lipids, ie fats. For vitamins these are vitamins A, D, K and E.
Maltodextrin is a sugar resulting from the hydrolysis of a starch or starch.
Transmission of a nerve impulse via a chemical mediator (or neurotransmitter).
which can cause illness.
Proteomics refers to the science that studies proteomes, i.e. all the proteins of a cell, organelle, tissue, organ or organism at a given time. and under given conditions.
Pidolic acid is a protein that acts as an antagonist of glutamate (an amino acid that behaves as a central nervous system stimulant) which explains the relaxing effect of this protein.
An unsaturated fatty acid is a fatty acid that has one or more carbon-carbon double bonds.
Polyphenols represent thousands of compounds present in plants, especially in fruits and vegetables. These micronutrients have very effective antioxidant properties to counter reactive oxygen species.
Which contains live micro-organisms (bacteria, yeasts, etc.) that have a beneficial effect on the organism that ingests them.
Large complex molecule of amino acids, an essential constituent of organic matter and living beings.
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an enzyme that governs energy production in our cells. In other words, it is essential for the proper functioning of our body. In reality, it plays a role comparable to that of a vitamin.
Sweat or sweat glands are specialized organs (in this case glands) which secrete sweat and, for some of them, hormones or pheromones.
A sweetener is a product or substance that has a sweet taste.
They are one of the components of vitamin E found in Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta form.
Rare forms of vitamin E which offer antioxidant protection 40 to 60 times greater than classic vitamin E.
A genetically modified organism or GMO is a living organism whose genetic heritage has been modified by human intervention. According to European definitions, these modifications must be the result of genetic engineering.
They constitute the main energy reserve of the body and are therefore beneficial for staying in shape provided that the levels in the blood are in the normal range. Good quality is found in omega 3.
Trimethylamine is a colorless flammable gas that gives off an intense fishy odor even at high dilution. At higher concentrations, it is more reminiscent of that of chemically bound ammonia.
Valine is one of the 9 essential amino acids for humans found in proteins and BCAAs.
Formation of plaques (deposits of cholesterol, immune cells and connective tissue) within the vascular walls.
Substance which makes it possible to dilate the blood vessels, that is to say to increase their lumen, by relaxing the smooth muscles of the walls of these vessels.
A term for something soluble in water. For vitamins, these are those of group B (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B9, B12) and C.
