â Blood viscosity â Total blood vessel length â Blood vessel diameter Resistance â¢ Factors that remain relatively constant: â Blood viscosity â¢ The stickiness of blood due to formed elements and plasma proteins â¢ Increased viscosity = increased resistance â Blood vessel length â¢ Longer vessel = greater resistance encountered
Jasmonic acid (JA) is derived from the fatty acid linolenic acid. It is a member of the jasmonate class of plant hormones. It is biosynthesized from linolenic acid by the octadecanoid pathway.
Alpha-Lipoic Acid. ALA is a fatty acid present in the mitochondria. It is involved in energy metabolism and may decrease blood glucose acutely. It is commonly taken with L-Carnitine supplements, as they are related in mechanisms. ALA provides a short but potent reduction of oxidation by increasing anti-oxidant enzymes.
