Metabolism

The chemical processes occurring within a(living being) living cell or organism that is required for the maintenance of life. The main fuels that the body uses are carbohydrates (sugars) and fats. Metabolism refers to all the physical and chemical processes in the body that convert or use energy, such as:- Breathing, Controlling body temperature,Digesting food and nutrients,Function of the brain and nerves.Living organisms are unique in that they can extract energy from their environments and use it to carry out activities such as movement, growth and development, and reproduction.And these is done by metabolism.Metabolism is a constant process that begins when we're conceived and ends when we die. It is a vital process for all life forms — not just humans. If metabolism stops, a living thing dies.

Immunosuppressants

"An immunosuppressant is any substance that performs immunosuppression of the immune system. They may be either exogenous, as immunosuppressive drugs, or endogenous, as, e. g., testosterone. When the immune system function is suppressed, there is an increased susceptibility to infectious diseases and cancers.
The term immunotoxin is also sometimes used (incorrectly) to label undesirable immunosuppressants, such as various pollutants. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) and the herbicide DDT are immunosuppressants. Immunosuppressants may be prescribed when a normal immune response is undesirable, such as in autoimmune diseases.
After an organ transplantation, the body will nearly always reject the new organ(s) due to differences in human leukocyte antigen haplotypes between the donor and recipient. As a result, the immune system detects the new tissue as ""hostile"", and attempts to remove it by attacking it with recipient leukocytes, resulting in the death of the tissue. Immunosuppressants are applied as a countermeasure; the side-effect is that the body becomes more vulnerable to infections and malignancy, much like in an advanced HIV infection."
