Hair Amino Acids: Normal Values and Results in Metabolic Errors

EVALUATION OF METABOLIC PROFILE OF PLASMA AMINO ACIDS IN DIABETIC PATIENTS WITH CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES

Background: Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common endocrine diseases. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the leading causes of death in patients with type 2 diabetes. The aim of this study was to investigate the metabolic profile of plasma amino acids in diabetic patients with cardiovascular disease. Methods: The present study is a descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study on 140 ...

Hair and amino acids: the interactions and the effects.

The interaction and the function of some amino acids in hair care applications are discussed. When amino acids are applied to hair in the form of simple aqueous solution, uptake of the amino acids is mainly controlled by ionic equilibrium. When amino acids were incorporated in a hair conditioner, the result was quite different, suggesting the importance of interaction between the amino acids an...

Excitatory Amino Acids: Clinical Results with Antagonists

The psychopharmacology of agonists and antagonists of excitatory amino acids is in its infancy relative to the decades of intensive research associated with drugs acting on monoamine neurotransmitter systems. The prototype drug in this class, phencyclidine, and its derivative, ketamine, block the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) subclass of glutamate receptors with competing with glutamate and witho...

Review of advances in metabolic bioavailability of amino acids

The animal's amino acid requirement and the potential of feedstuffs to supply those amino acids in metabolically available form (amino acid bioavailability) are intertwined. Although standardized ileal amino acid digestibility is currently most widely used as an estimate of dietary protein quality, numerous factors influence these estimates. Slope ratio assays are considered the standard agains...
