Supplemental or dietary Nucleosides may improve the function of the Liver. [1]
Nervous System
Supplemental or dietary Nucleosides may improve Memory. [2]
Nucleosides Enhance the Function of these Substances
Nucleic Compounds
Nucleosides when linked to Phosphorous form Nucleotides.
Nucleosides may Counteract these Toxic Substances
Pigments
Supplemental or dietary Nucleosides may retard the accumulation of Lipofuscin in the Brain. [3]
These Substances Enhance the Function of Nucleosides
Enzymes
Nucleotidases catalyze the hydrolysis (breakdown) of Nucleotides to their constituents - Nucleosides and Phosphorus.
