Background The ability of the human body to produce metabolic energy from light modifies fundamental concepts of biochemistry. Objective This review discusses the relationships between the long-accepted concept is that glucose has a unique dual role as an energy source and as the main source of carbon chains that are precursors of all organic matter. The capability of melanin to produce energy challenges this premise. Methods The prevalent biochemical concept, therefore, needs to be adjusted to incorporate a newly discovered state of Nature based on melanin's ability to dissociate water to produce energy and to re-form water from molecular hydrogen and oxygen. Results and Discussion Our findings regarding the potential implication of QIAPI-1 as a melanin precursor that has bioenergetics capabilities. Conclusion Specifically, we reported its promising application as a means for treating retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). The instant report focuses on the long-term treatment medical effects of melanin in treating ROP.

医学上增强早产儿黑色素内在生物能量学能力的长期影响

背景 人体从光中产生代谢能量的能力改变了生物化学的基本概念。目的 本综述讨论了长期以来被接受的概念之间的关系，即葡萄糖具有独特的双重作用，即作为能源和作为所有有机物前体的碳链的主要来源。黑色素产生能量的能力挑战了这个前提。方法因此，需要调整流行的生化概念以结合新发现的自然状态，该状态基于黑色素分解水以产生能量并从分子氢和氧重新形成水的能力。结果与讨论 我们的发现关于 QIAPI-1 作为具有生物能量学能力的黑色素前体的潜在影响。结论 具体来说，我们报告了它作为治疗早产儿视网膜病变 (ROP) 的有前景的应用。即时报告侧重于黑色素治疗 ROP 的长期治疗医学效果。
