This theme
is "How ATP is produced".
Although we talked about the most powerful nutritional
elements"ATP" last time, we are talking
about ATP synthesis this time. Do you remember
that a water mill and a windmill appeared in the
fairy tale and folk tale which you read when you
were young?
A water wheel uses power of water and a windmill
uses power of wind as a driving force. With the
energy we grind out flour. In plant a turbine
is rotated and electric energy is obtained. A
train uses the energy and runs rotating a moter.
Living things also synthesize ATP with rotating
protein and can move.
Paul D.Boyer received the Nobel in chemistry in
1997 and he found ATP synthase is a rotary engine.
When mitochondrial inner membrane in the cell
of our body is seen by electron microscope, many
rotary motors like a mushroom are grown from the
membrane. This is ATP synthesis. A small, small
rotary moter uses electric energy for a driving
force and turning at the speed 10000 revolutions
and over per minute(like an engine of a Formula1
racing car). It is named F1 surprisingly. The
size is about 1/100,000mm. A thin axis turns round
and round in it. In fact, the base of energy is
made by turning. When you walk and think and produce
protein, energy is consumed. The base of the energy
is chemical substance called ATP. The substance
is synthetized chemically by rotating. A hard
worker synthetizes ATP of the same weight as his
weight and all ATP is produced by F1motor. Compared
with the engine of F1 racing car, it is said that
it gets excellent gas mileage.
It is the time that KIPPO appears here. The role
of KIPPO supplies the electric energy which is
the driving force of this motor. THe number of
rotations of F1 motor falls with aging, and it
is thoght that about 30% of ATP runs short to
the required quantity one day. Therefore reproduction
of protein cannot be performed as the command
of DNA. It causes immunity deficiency such as
cancer, rheumatism, atopy, and asthma, adult disease
such as diabetes, cerebral infarction, myocardial
infarction, dementia, Alzheimaer, Parkinson. However
these symptoms are relieved by KIPPO in a short
time.
In case of weight 60kg, KIPPO has the same meaning
as eating 60kgx30%=18kg fresh vegetables per day.
Therefore, a bedridden old man can go traveling
and playing golf vigorously. Care for the old
may already be needlessness.
