Document Summary
Systems biology: main goal of this system is to better understand the entirety of the processes that happen in a biological system (i. e the opposite of the usual reductionist paradigm where organization levels tend to be isolated) But this is the real world: second response is due to a delayed alpha- adrenergic neural response (the effect of the. Blood flow is no longer a factor, so is this physiologically relevant? (without blood flow (a critical factor) this model is almost irrelevant because it doesn"t take in the full picture. Systems biology: studies biological systems by perturbing them (biologically, genetically, chemically) and monitoring the gene, protein and informational pathway responses; and ultimately, formulating mathematical models that describe the structure of the system and its response to individual perturbations. Yes: ros (reactive oxygen species) can induce oxidative damage (dna, proteins, lipids), promoting aging and disease, antioxidants protect the cell from these damaging effects.
