Dehydrogenation Hydrogenium Hydrogen; (De- + Lat. Hydrogenium Hydrogen; Syn. Dehydrogenation)

Hydrogen dehydrogenation is a process that occurs in our body and is associated with biological oxidation. This process occurs with the help of enzymes called dehydrogenases. They split off hydrogen from organic molecules and convert them into energy.

Dehydrogenation is one of the stages of the oxidation process, which is necessary for energy production in cells. Without this process we could not live. However, dehydrogenation can also cause cell and tissue damage if it occurs too quickly or in large quantities.

In order to avoid cell damage, it is necessary to control the dehydrogenation process. This can be achieved by changing the oxygen concentration in the blood or by using special enzymes that help regulate the rate of oxidation.

Overall, dehydrogenation plays an important role in our body, but it must be controlled to avoid damage to cells and tissues.



Dehydrogenase is an enzyme involved in cellular energy metabolism and is a key component of the electron transport chain in mitochondria. It catalyzes the dehydridation process, which provides energy for cell functioning.

Dehydrogenases are the basis of oxidative phosphorylation. Under the action of the dehydrogenase enzyme, ATP is synthesized directly from reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) or oxidized one (NAD+). The energy of hydrogen atoms when they are further added to these substances
