The Ratio of Cell Structures is a Parameter that Determines the Functional Capabilities of the System Responsible for Adaptation

Abstract

The notion that the level of function regulates the activity of the genetic apparatus through the energy balance of the cell and the concentration of energy-rich phosphorus compounds explains only the phenomena of organ hypertrophy under prolonged load and atrophy under inactivity. Meanwhile, in the process of adaptation, a significant change in the power of functional systems is often associated with small changes in their mass. Therefore, there is no reason to think that the expansion of the link limiting function and the increase in the power of the systems responsible for adaptation can be achieved by a simple increase in the mass of organs.
