What is Catalysis and How is it Related to Hypertension?
Catalysis is a process that increases the rate of a chemical reaction by adding a substance known as a catalyst. Catalysts are not consumed in the reaction and can be used repeatedly. Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, is a medical condition where the force of the blood against the artery walls is too high. The link between catalysis and hypertension lies in the biochemical reactions within the human body, particularly those involving enzymes, which act as biological catalysts.
