Chapter 839 Mitochondria(2/2)
The golden coupon turned into a golden light in his mind, then shattered into pieces, turning into countless gold powder and pouring into the depths of his body.
Sitting on the stool, Bifang soon felt the body temperature rising from his height. He soon began to sweat profusely. With his mouth dry and tongue dry, Bifang grabbed the water glass on the side and drank it down in one gulp, one cup after another.
It wasn't until nearly three liters of water was submerged in his belly and Bifang was about to add salt to the water that the changes in his body gradually stopped and the temperature gradually subsided.
Supporting his dizzy brain, Bifang, who had taken a useless shower, had to go to the faucet and rinse it once. The water dripped from the thick plastic board into the desert, and soon evaporated and disappeared.
"call!"
Bi Fang took a deep breath and soon felt something strange.
Breathing deeper.
After taking two steps, I felt more relaxed, as if it didn't take any effort, and I had the illusion of walking on the clouds.
Then jump, run, squat, back flip, and stand on one hand.
One after another, actions that seemed very difficult to ordinary people were performed very easily under Bi Fang's performance.
These movements are not difficult for Bifang. Before the strengthening, he could do it easily due to his physical condition, but now he feels more calm.
and
Bi Fang, who was standing on one hand, put his right hand directly behind his back, actively destroying his balance, but his body did not move at all despite a series of fine adjustments.
"It's amazing."
Bi Fang murmured to himself.
The combination of enhanced muscle control and enhanced sense of balance actually creates the effect of one plus one greater than two. When you support the ground with one hand, it feels the same as standing normally!
Bi Fang even found that he didn't even break a sweat!
So cool!
The expansion of the scope of abilities is like expanding the house you live in. You can do more things with greater ease. You feel more relaxed both physically and mentally, and you feel powerful as if there is nothing you can't do.
Bi Fang resumed his hands on the ground, then bent his arms to support, and coordinated the waist and abdomen, and the whole person jumped upright in the inverted state.
It's as incredible as an animated character.
After exercising a bit, Bi Fang restrained his excitement and set his sights on the mitochondria enhancement coupon.
Mitochondria
The first time he saw this enhancement coupon, Bi Fang actually couldn't believe it.
Anyone who has studied biology knows how huge the role of mitochondria is, as it is the direct energy provider for biological activities!
Mitochondria are the energy factories of cells. Their main job is to consume oxygen and "burn" three major nutrients: sugars, lipids and amino acids to produce an energy "currency" - adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
This is aerobic respiration.
Without mitochondria, humans would cease to exist, because the life activities of higher organisms require a large amount of energy, and the ATP produced by anaerobic glycolysis is only about 1/16 of aerobic oxidation.
A person has to break down ATP equivalent to his body weight every day. This much ATP is not stored in the body. The total weight of all ATP molecules in the human body is only about 50 grams.
In fact, each ATP molecule is reused 1,000-1,500 times per day.
Such a fast energy turnover depends on the efficient work of mitochondria.
This is only the most superficial role of mitochondria.
So far, the longest time humans have survived is 122 years, while some animals can live more than 500 years. What exactly determines human lifespan?
What makes us age and what prevents us from immortality?
Regarding aging, countless biological scientists have been conducting research one after another, trying to decipher the secret of longevity. Many hypotheses have been put forward so far, the most famous of which is the free radical aging theory.
Free radicals are generated during cellular reactions. Free radicals are produced when humans breathe every day. The more free radicals there are, the more likely it is to accelerate aging.
The main source of free radicals is the mitochondria, the power plant in the body.
What does its strengthening represent?
Bi Fang fell into deep thought for the first time.
