Psammobates is a genus of tortoise. This genus contains three member species, all of which are indigenous to Southern Africa. The genus name means Sand-loving, and these tortoises typically inhabit the arid and semi-arid areas of southern Africa. Their specific diets and adaptations for this environment mean that these species do not generally survive outside their habitats and soon die when kept in captivity.
For the related metabolic process, see anabolism. Catabolism (from Greek ÎºÎ¬ÏÏ kato, downward and Î²Î¬Î»Î»ÎµÎ¹Î½ ballein, to throw) is the set of metabolic pathways that breaks down molecules into smaller units that are either oxidized to release energy, or used in other anabolic reactions.any of these catabolic hormones express an anti-catabolic effect in muscle tissue. One study found that the administration of epinephrine (adrenaline) had an anti-proteolytic effect, and in fact suppressed catabolism rather than promoted it.
