Izifo zeMitochondrial

Isifinyezo
I-Metabolism yinqubo umzimba wakho oyisebenzisayo ukwenza amandla ekudleni okudlayo. Ukudla kwenziwa ngamaprotheni, ama-carbohydrate, namafutha. Amakhemikhali ohlelweni lwakho lokugaya ukudla (ama-enzyme) aphula izingxenye zokudla zibe ushukela nama-asidi, uphethiloli womzimba wakho. Umzimba wakho ungawusebenzisa uphethiloli khona manjalo, noma ungagcina amandla ezicutshini zomzimba wakho. Uma unesifo se-metabolic, kukhona okungahambi kahle ngale nqubo.
Izifo zeMitochondrial ziyiqembu lokuphazamiseka komzimba. IMitochondria yizakhiwo ezincane ezikhiqiza amandla cishe kuwo wonke amaseli akho. Benza ngokuhlanganisa i-oksijeni nama-molecule kaphethiloli (ushukela namafutha) aqhamuka ekudleni kwakho. Lapho i-mitochondria inamaphutha, amaseli awanawo amandla anele. Ama-molecule oksijini nophethiloli angasetshenziswanga ayakheka kumaseli futhi adale umonakalo.
Izimpawu zesifo se-mitochondrial zingahluka. Kuya ngokuthi mangaki ama-mitochondria anesici, nokuthi akuphi emzimbeni. Kwesinye isikhathi kuthinteka isitho esisodwa, izicubu noma uhlobo lweseli. Kepha imvamisa inkinga ithinta abaningi babo. Amaseli emisipha nezinzwa anezidingo zamandla aphezulu kakhulu, ngakho-ke izinkinga zemisipha nezemithambozo zivamile. Izifo zisukela ekubeni mnene ziye kwesinzima. Ezinye izinhlobo zingabulala.
Ukuguquka kwezakhi zofuzo kubangela lezi zifo. Imvamisa zenzeka ngaphambi kweminyaka yobudala engama-20, kanti ezinye zivame kakhulu ezinganeni. Akukho ukwelashwa kwalezi zifo, kepha ukwelashwa kungasiza ngezimpawu bese kwehlisa isifo. Zingafaka ukwelashwa ngokomzimba, amavithamini nezengezo, izidlo ezikhethekile, nemithi.
