Plural of anaplerosis; biochemical processes that replenish metabolic intermediates that have been used up or removed from a cycle.
From Greek 'ana-' (back, up) and 'plerosis' (filling). This biochemistry term describes how cells refill their metabolic pathways when intermediates are depleted.
Your cells are constantly draining their metabolic bucket—anaplerosis is how they refill it, and without this process, even your most basic energy production would grind to a halt.
