Homeostasis is one way our bodies maintain its parameters within the normal range of values. We can say that it is key to life. When homeostasis fail, it can lead to diseases like hypertension and diabetes. In homeostasis, there will be stabilization of blood pressure as well as maintenance of its steady resting state. Take this scenario as an example, if a person exercises, there will be an increase of the heart rate, which will also result to higher blood pressure. The process of homeostasis will then accommodate the body through different mechanisms to make the decrease of the heart rate possible and at the same time reduce the high blood pressure. It is through homeostatis by which the normal body functions are maintaned in order to sustain life.
Antioxidant
Explanation:
Most serum uric acid is freely filtered in kidney glomeruli, and approximately 90% of filtered uric acid is reabsorbed, implying that it has a considerable physiological role [2], [5]. In humans, over half the antioxidant capacity of blood plasma comes from uric acid [5], [6]. Uric acid is a strong reactive oxygen species (ROS) and peroxynitrite scavenger and antioxidant [5], [6], [7], [8]. High levels of uric acid are readily detected in the cytosol of normal human and mammalian cells, especially in the liver [9], vascular endothelial cells, and in human nasal secretions, where it serves as an antioxidant
