Cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate 3'-5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate or Cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate, a second messenger that mediates the action of several eptide or amine hormones, is abbreviated as cyclic AMP or cAMP. cAMP is thus vital for varied biological processes and used for intracellular signal transduction in various organisms. This major communicator is a result of the action of the enzyme adenyl cyclase on ATP. As such, cyclic AMP performs many physiological functions and is also responsible for increasing blood glucose levels. Adrenaline that enhances blood sugar levels in the body is able to do so by stimulating cAMP production. Cyclic AMP plays an important role in the following: urine regulation synthesis of flagellar proteins in bacteria hormone release sensory and nerve processes Apart from these functions, it also helps in breakdown of lipids in some organisms to produce energy in the absence of sufficient glucose.

Guggulsterone- Commiphora wightii, or the so called Guggul tree is a flowering shrub or rather a small tree which can grow up to a size of 4 meters. Once very common in India, it is now there listed as endangered, but not in northern Africa or elsewhere in central Asia. It was very popular in the Indian Ayurvedic medicine, but also currently in the western medicine for treating of heart problems. The hydrocarbon secretion of Guggul contains a plant sterol, guggulsterone, which in the human body seems to act as an antagonist to the farnesoid X receptor. Furthermore, guggulsterone is active in increasing the natural thyroid production. This in turn stimulates the metabolism and may raise the body temperature, burning stored excess fat.

L-Tyrosine is a proteinogenic polar amino acid, deemed not essential because it can be synthesized by the human body. As a member of the amino acid group that is being used by cells to build proteins, this building block derived its name from the Greek word tyros, which means cheese, because it was discovered in the cheese protein casein. L-Tyrosine can be synthesized from phenylalanine and can be found in foods high on protein, like soy products, poultry, cheese, bananas, dairy products and several seeds, including the sesame seeds. The unique phenol functionality and the occurrence in proteins that belong to the signal transduction process, make this amino acid different. Tyrosine can be converted by tyrosine hydroxylase enzyme into levodopa, a psychoactive drug that is used, among other uses, for clinical treatment of Parkinson’s disease. It is also involved in the synthesis of dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine.

Octopamine is a secretion initially discovered in the salivary glands of the Octopus and hence the derivation of the name. it tendso to act as a neurotransmitter, transmitting messages from the neurons to the brain and vice versa. Octopamine has been found to have a tendency to release fat deposits from cells, thus aiding in the loss of weight. It is therefore being used as a slimming agent by most people, even though there is no concrete evidence that it does assist in weight loss, for sure.

Phosphollipid complex is formed by the combination of lipids and phosphate. They are grouped into three categories. 1. Glycerophosphates- Glycerophosphates are one of the important factors for cell membranes. They are also responsible for intracellular messaging and act as a hormone stimulant. 2 Sphingophosphatides- These phospholipids are responsible for transportation of water and fat soluble materials through cell membranes. It also helps to stabilize water soluble compounds. 3. Glycolipids. They help to maintain the structure of the cell membrane by attaching themselves with other components. Phospholipids complex is important for maintaining physiological activity of the body as they are an important factor for bonding and formation of enzymes, amino acids, etc.

Fat stored in adipole tissue is normally very difficult to get rid of.

Ribonucleic Acid , abbreviated RNA, is very similar to DNA with some important differences in structure. It is single-stranded instead of double-stranded, contains ribose instead of deoxyribose, and has a base of uracil instead of a base of thymine as DNA does. RNA is a molecule that consists of a long chain of nucleotide units and those units consist of a nitrogenous base, a ribose sugar, and a phosphate. It is transcribed from DNA by enzymes called RNA polymerases and it is essential to protein synthesis. Ribonucleic Acid conveys genetic information and catalyzes important biochemical reactions.

Smilax- The genus Smilax includes approximately 300 different species of vines, found in warm regions like South America, North America and the Caribbean.
