The role of nucleotides

Nucleotide can be said to be the most basic component. This component is essential for all organisms. It can be said that for organisms, whether it is growth, development, reproduction, or even heredity, they are most directly related to this nucleotide. This is an element that exists in the cells of any organism and is the basis of the elements that constitute a single gene.

It can be said that nucleotides are the most important elements in all organisms. So what are the functions of nucleotides? What roles do they play in human metabolism and energy transmission?

Nucleotides are the basic components of all living organisms, and they play a dominant role in important life phenomena such as growth, development, reproduction, and heredity. Nucleotides not only have a nutritional effect on rapidly growing tissue cells in the early stages of life, but also have a significant improvement effect on the body's natural aging, weakness, fatigue and other sub-health symptoms. Their role becomes increasingly important with age. Nucleotides are the basic building blocks of nucleic acids and the prerequisite substances for the synthesis of organisms. Therefore, nucleic acids are also called polynucleotides. Nucleotides exist in all cells of organisms and play an important role in the structure, metabolism, energy transfer and functional regulation of almost all cells. They constitute single gene units of RNA and DNA. The synthesis of RNA is the basis of protein synthesis; the synthesis of DNA is the basis of cell growth and differentiation.

Therefore, nucleotides are essential substances that govern life from birth to death. Nucleotides can be synthesized in the body through two pathways. One is "de novo synthesis", that is, liver cells use a variety of small molecule amino acids in the body to gradually synthesize nucleotides under the action of various enzymes. This pathway requires a large amount of energy, multiple enzymes and small molecule amino acids, and is an energy-consuming process. The other is the "salvage synthesis" pathway, which utilizes exogenous nucleotide degradation products such as nucleoside bases for synthesis. Some tissue cells in the body, such as brain cells, lymphocytes, bone marrow cells, etc., can only carry out "remedial synthesis" due to the lack of various synthetic enzymes. "Rescue synthesis" can save a lot of energy and enzymes for "de novo synthesis" and is of irreplaceable importance to specific tissue cells. There is mutual inhibition between the two pathways, that is, if exogenous salvage synthesis is relatively abundant, the liver's "de novo synthesis" will be inhibited, otherwise it will be significantly enhanced. However, as we age, the activity of enzymes in the body decreases or even disappears, and the liver's ability to "synthesize from scratch" will also decrease. At this time, it is particularly important to supplement exogenous nucleotides. Nucleotides play an extremely important role and position in the practical application of medical care.

The world's medical community has reached a consensus on the root causes of disease: disease is a manifestation of cell mutation in the body, and nucleic acid nutrient deficiency is the root cause of cell mutation. Therefore, supplementing aging or underdeveloped groups with exogenous nucleotides so that they can synthesize the nucleotides they need will transform from simple symptomatic treatment to holistic treatment of repairing cells, tissues and organs. This is a directional change in the history of medicine, and it has laid another foundation for human health and longevity. Nucleotides start from the most subtle part of life - cells. By participating in cell metabolism and renewal, they improve cell vitality, enhance the functions and self-regulation capabilities of the body's tissues, organs and systems, achieve the best comprehensive physiological balance, and achieve the effects of improving immunity, enhancing physical fitness, and delaying aging. A large amount of clinical research and experimental data show that nucleotides have obvious functions of enhancing immunity, anti-oxidation, promoting the regeneration and repair of cells and tissues, and maintaining the digestion and absorption function of normal intestinal flora. In addition, it has obvious effects of resisting hypoxia and radiation, and significantly enhances the body's ability to respond to external stress.

As a new generation of conditional nutrients, nucleotides provide a fundamental way for humans to overcome diseases and improve their health. Of course, it is precisely because of this that nucleotides have been widely, and even fundamentally, utilized in many aspects.
