1. Procesos catabólicos      -    Catabolic processes

Catabolism is the part of the metabolic process that consists of the degradation of organic nutrients transforming them into simple final products, in order to extract chemical energy from them and convert it into a useful form for the cell.

1. Triglicéridos                     -    Triglycerides

A triglyceride is a type of glycerol that belongs to the family of lipids. It is common to call fat triglycerides, if they are solid at room temperature, and oils, if they are liquid at room temperature.

1. Glucógeno                        -    Glycogen

Glycogen is an energy reserve polysaccharide formed by branched chains of glucose; It is not soluble in water, so it forms colloidal dispersions. It abounds in the liver and in less quantity in the muscle

1. Linfocitos                          -    Lymphocytes

A lymphocyte is one of the subtypes of white blood cell in a vertebrate's immune system Lymphocytes include natural killer cells, T cells, and B cells.

1. Hidratos de carbono       -    Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates, carbohydrates, carbohydrates or saccharides are biomolecules composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, whose main functions in living beings are to provide immediate and structural energy

1. Acido fólicos                     -    Folic acid

is a water-soluble vitamin of the B vitamins complex, necessary for the maturation of structural proteins and hemoglobin (and therefore, transitively, of red blood cells); Its insufficiency in humans is very rare.

1. Angiogénesis                    -    Angiogenesis

Angiogenesis is the physiological process that consists of the formation of new blood vessels from pre-existing vessels. Angiogenesis is a normal phenomenon during embryonic development, the growth of the organism and in the healing of wounds

1. Sistema inmunitario        -     Immune system

The immune system, immune system or immune system is that set of biological structures and processes within an organism that allow it to maintain homeostasis or internal balance against external aggressions, whether biological (pathogenic agents) or physical-chemical (as contaminants or radiation), and internal (for example, cancer cells)

1. Metabolismo aeróbico    -    Aerobic metabolism

When the muscle must maintain a prolonged activity performing an exercise of more than 3 minutes, the muscle will need a new system of energy production; This is the Aerobic system, and it's called that because it needs oxygen so that it can work,

1. Estrés oxidativo                -    Oxidative stress

Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species and the ability of a biological system to rapidly decode intermediate reactants or repair the resulting damage.

1. Perdida hemolíticas         -    Lost hemolytic

It is a condition that occurs when large numbers of red blood cells are destroyed for a short period of time. The loss of red blood cells happens faster than the body can produce new red blood cells.
