Biological Function of Chromosomes

Cells

 Chromosomes reside in the Nucleus of Cells and are the bearers (producers) of Genes.

 

These Substances may Enhance the Production/Function of Chromosomes

Amino Acids

 N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) may inhibit the ability of mutagens to damage Chromosomes.  [1]

 

Carbohydrates

 Kureha may prevent the damage to the Chromosomes of normal, healthy Cells that occurs when Anti-Cancer Pharmaceuticals are administered in the treatment of Cancer.  [2]

 Lentinan may prevent the damage to the Chromosomes of normal, healthy Cells that occurs when Anti-Cancer Pharmaceuticals are administered in the treatment of Cancer.  [3]

 

Carotenoids

 Beta-Carotene may prevent X-Rays-generated Free Radicals from damaging the Chromosomes of Lymphocytes.  [4]

 

Enzymes

 Poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase (PARP) helps to prevent damage to Chromosomes.  [5]

 

Hormones

 Melatonin may protect the Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) content of Chromosomes from Free Radicals damage and Radioactivity damage.  [6]
