Mechanotransduction is where the body senses stress and converts it into tough, thick connective tissue, such as tendons and ligaments. Learn more.
- Oxidation
- Vasodilation
7 Which part of the body’s immune system is compromised by eating a high-fat diet?
- Enzymes that regulate glutathione
An enzyme altered by eating a high-fat diet binds to glutathione, one of the body’s main antioxidants, reducing the ability of cells to handle stress and damage. Learn more.
- Hormones that control thirst
