[What is Tribulus terrestris?]

Tribulus terrestris is a vine that has been used as a general tonic (energy) and herbal treatment for impotence, but is found primarily in dietary supplements marketed for increasing testosterone levels in bodybuilders and power athletes. The idea behind tribulus is that it may increase testosterone levels indirectly by raising blood levels of another hormone, luteinizing hormone.

[Function]

1) Enhance men’s sexual ability.

2) Relieving muscle spasm and cramps;
3) Anti-myocardial ischemia and cerebral ischemia;
4) Relieving stress , regulating blood fat, and reducing cholesterol;
5) Promoting sex gland hormones;
6) Anti-aging and anti cancer;
7) Diuretic, anti-calculus of the urethra, reducing the risk of urinary stone disease and disorder;
8) Promoting muscle growth efficiently, helping the body to be strong and letting muscle to play potential role.

Polysaccharides (Complex carbohydrates)
Dm, Am, G
long chains of several hundred or thousand monosaccharides held together by 1-4 or 1-6 glycosidic linkages.
functions: energy storage(ex. Starch and glycogen) and alpha structural support( ex. cellulose and chitin).
(F#m, C, F on fret 3, F on fret 5)
starch is made up of 2 polysaccharides: amylose and amylopectin see fig. 9 on pg. 31).
F#m, G,D, A
Amylose is a coiled chain of unbranched alpha glucose held together alpha 1-4 glycosidic linkages. (See Fig 11a on pg. 32)
Amylopectin is composed of a main chain of linked alpha glucose attached by alpha 1-4 glycosidic bonds and branch points formed by alpha 1-6 glycosidic linkages. Plants store starch in chloroplasts, amyloplasts and other plastids.
Dm, Am, G
Storage form of glucose in animals is glycogen. Glycogen is structurally similar to amylopectin, however, the alpha 1-6 branch points are shorter and more frequent which results in a molecule that is highly branched.
F#m, C, F on fret 3, F on fret 5)
Humans store glycogen in the liver cells and the muscles. Enzymes in these tissues hydrolyze glycogen into single glucose molecules
F#m, C, G, D
for energy during physical activity.
Cellulose is a major structural component of the plant cell wall. It is the most abundant organic substance of earth. It is a straight chain polymer. of B-Glucose held together. by B 1-4 glycosidic linkages.
F#m, G, Am, C
In order for a reaction to occur between the hydroxyl groups on the carbon numbers 1 and 4, every other B-Glucose must be inverted. Humans do not have the enzyme to hydrolyses the B(1-4) glycosidic linkage, therefore cannot obtain energy from cellulose.
Chitin is a polymer of N-acetylglucosamine which makes up the hard exoskeletons of insects and crustaceans.
Coprophage
-eat their own poop to absorb missed nutrients
-had pelts during the day that are hard, and have soft ones at night which are edible to reabsorb the nutrients.
