Other enzymes worth to mention are these active on a steroid-related level which involves other important metabolic functions.

The interconnection of hormone and enzyme systems is strong. Very strong. When a malfunction occurs in one system it is followed by errors in the other system with an accumulative effect. In the “wear and tear theory of aging,” a layout for the “error effect” of this malfunctioning is produced.  Production of all hormones and enzymes takes place in the glands. Each gland receives orders through the transmission of neurotransmitters send by nerve system which in the turn is controlled by the brain. The brain is a responsive organ and reacts to different circumstances and observations in general from external sources.

The fundament of all action is the neural system. Only after this system starts transmitting information through its pathways the body is able to respond to anything. Here is also the first part of aging which we must control. Neurex is one way to get and keep a grip on it.
