APS TherapyTM is a micro electical therapy (MET) which simulates the natural nerve impuls, the action potential. The action potential is an important signal in the body and many body processes depend on this signal. Besides, stimulating the tissue with the APS signal for instance improves the bloodcirculation.
Next to that a high concentration of ATP is generated. To indicate, the increase of ATP after APS treatment is about 5 to 8 times more than usual. ATP stands for Adenosinetriphosfate. This molecule takes care of the transport of energy in the human body.
Actiepotential
An action potential is a pulse which electrically descharges over the membrane of the neuron. Actionpotentials are essential for human and also veterinairian life but also exist in some plants. They make it possible to communicate quickly between tissue areas. Especially the nervesystem works a lot with actionpotentials to communicate between nervecells and between nervecells and other parts in the body, like muscles or glands.
The Action Potential is a certain wave with electrical discharge through the membrane of a neuron. Action Potentials are an important feature of the human and veterinarian life forms but also exist in certain plants. These actions potentials can make comunication happen between different areas of tissue. Especially the nervesystem utilizes the action potentials to communicate between the nerve cells and from the nerve cells to other body parts like muscles and glands.
Adenosinetriphosfate (ATP)
Adenosinetriphosfate or ATP is a chemical formula in the cellular metabolism which plays a key role in the chemical energy carriage. It consists of a adenosine molecule with a sugar molecule, ribose with 3 fosfate groups. Next to ATP there are also other energy carriers like (CTP, UTP, GTP, TTP), each plays a specific role at specific processes. When we calculate in energy we usually talk about ATP as a carrier for energy.
For most processes energy is needed. ATP is such an energy carrier. The connection of the fosfate groups carry the energy. The fosfates are interconnected with anhydride-connections. When splitting into fosfate and Adenosinedifosfate (ADP) chemical energy is released. This reaction is run by the enzyme adenosinedehydrogenasis. At this reaction 30 kJ/mole energy is released. ADP can be converted to AMP (Adenosinemonofofate) by releasing another fosfategroup. In whicgh reaction again 30 kJ/mole energy is released.
This energy is used for processes like sybthesis of organic molecules or transport of substances over the cellmembrane.
AMP and ADP are being regenerated to be able to serve as a energy carrier again. Therefor fosfategroups are rejoined again with the AMP or ADP.This is being done with the oxidative fosforialisation of the enzyme ATP synthasis. For this proces energy is being used from the protonegradient between the double cellmembrane of the mitochondrion. This gradient comes from NADH and FADH2 from the glycosis, citrusacidcycle and betaoxidation. With animals and humans ATP is generated in the mitochondrion, with plants also in the chloroplast with the help of solar energy.
