Metabolic Byproduct Removal

Meaning

The essential physiological process by which waste materials generated during cellular metabolism, such as lactate, urea, and carbon dioxide, are efficiently collected, transported, and eliminated from the body’s tissues and circulation. Efficient removal is vital for maintaining cellular homeostasis, preventing acidosis, and ensuring optimal tissue function, particularly in the brain where the glymphatic system plays a specialized role. Impaired removal contributes to fatigue, inflammation, and accelerated cellular aging.
