anabolic
(also, anabolism) pathways that require an energy input to synthesize complex molecules from simpler ones
Anabolic refers to metabolic processes in which complex molecules are synthesized from simpler ones, resulting in growth or tissue repair or regeneration. In biology, the term “anabolism” is often used to refer to the building of tissues in living organisms, such as muscle or bone tissue. Anabolic processes require energy, usually in the form of ATP, to create new tissues or molecules. Examples of anabolic hormones in the human body include testosterone, insulin, and growth hormone, which promote muscle growth and increase bone density. In contrast, catabolic processes involve the breakdown of complex molecules into simpler ones, releasing energy, and are associated with the breakdown of tissues in the body.
