How does sugar affect immune system biology?

Biology
1 answer:
rosijanka [135]4 years ago

Sugar impacts your white blood cells by competing for space in those cells with Vitamin C. When Linus Pauling did research in the 1970s to find out how the body uses Vitamin C, he discovered that white blood cells need Vitamin C to destroy bacteria and viruses. Sugar and Vitamin C are similar in their chemical structure. When you eat sugar, it directly competes for space in your immune cells with Vitamin C!The more sugar in your system, the less Vitamin C can get into your white blood cells. Sugar DOES NOT help your immune system fight infection at all, resulting in a weakened defense from infections.

Generally, animals cannot digest (hydrolyze) the glycosidic linkages between the glucose molecules in cellulose. how then do cow
Andrei [34K]

Microorganisms in their digestive tracts hydrolyze the cellulose to individual glucose units.

Cellulose- The stable formation of plant cell walls is greatly aided by cellulose, a hard, fibrous, and water-insoluble polysaccharide. The fibrils (bundles of microfibrils) and microfibrils (bundles of polysaccharide) made up of cellulose chains make up the plant cell wall.

Glucose- The primary form of sugar in the blood, glucose serves as the body's cells' principal source of energy. Glucose may be produced by the body from other chemicals or it can be obtained from the meals we eat. The circulation carries glucose to the cells. Insulin is one of many hormones that regulate blood glucose levels.
