Design of Glycolytic Capacities in Muscles: Do Honeybees Have Enough or Too Much Enzyme?

9507407苏亚雷斯重要的是，如果一个人要了解生理和生化过程的本质，它们被调节的方式，它们在病理条件下如何出错，对控制功能设计的规则有一个基本的理解。在整个动物的水平上，人们越来越了解为什么人类和各种动物可能有这么多的肺、心脏或肠，以及这些器官的功能能力如何与最大生理需求相关。这种设计分析的方法在代谢途径设计的研究中尚未被采用。通过检查肌肉中代谢的最大速率，并将这些最大速率与使其成为可能的生化系统的能力进行比较，苏亚雷斯博士希望获得有价值的见解，了解代谢实际上是如何工作的，以及在锻炼肌肉时如何调节，以及关于生化设计和生理性能之间关系的自然规则。***

9507407 Suarez It is important, if one is to understand the nature of physiological and biochemical processes, the manner in which they are regulated, how they might go wrong under pathological conditions, to have a fundamental understanding of the rules that govern functional design. At the level of the whole animal, the understanding of why humans and various species of animals might have so much lung, or heart, or intestine, and how the functional capacities of these organs relate to maximum physiological requirements is increasing. This approach to the analysis of design has not been adopted in studies of the design of metabolic pathways. By examining maximum rates of metabolism in muscles and by comparing these maximum rates with the capacities of the biochemical systems that make them possible, Dr. Suarez hopes to gain valuable insights into how metabolism actually works and is regulated in exercising muscles as well as into the rules of nature regarding the relationships between biochemical design and physiological performance. ***
