Study on the transformation and efficacy of amino acids in human body
1、 Relationship between amino acids and proteins: the digestion and absorption of proteins in human body depend on amino acids. As the first nutrient element of human body, protein plays an important role in food nutrition. But it can't be used directly in human body. It needs to be changed into amino acid molecules before it can be used.
2. The balance and regulation of amino acids and proteins in human body: in fact, the synthesis and decomposition between proteins and amino acids are ongoing. It is better to keep the daily intake of protein within a certain range. When the intake increases or decreases, the body can regulate the metabolism of protein to maintain balance. When eating too much protein, beyond the body's regulatory capacity, the balance will be destroyed. So amino acids have a very obvious regulatory effect on human body.
3. Conversion of sugar or fat: a-ketoacids produced by amino acid metabolism are metabolized along with the way of conversion into sugar or fat, and then a-ketoacids are re synthesized into new amino acids or converted into sugar or fat. Or enter the cycle of tricarboxylic oxidation, decomposition into CO2 and H2O, and release energy.
4. Amino acid molecular composition: the essence of enzymes, hormones, some vitamins and enzymes is that proteins are "composed of amino acid molecules", such as pepsin, amylase, carbonic anhydrase, cholinesterase, transaminase, etc. The components of nitrogen-containing hormones are proteins and their derivatives. Such as adrenaline, insulin, gut stimulating hormone, thyroid stimulating hormone, growth hormone and so on. Some vitamins are converted by amino acids or exist in combination with proteins. Hormones, vitamins, enzymes, amino acids play a very important role in regulating the body and in these transformation metabolism.
5. Prolonging life: the demand for amino acid transformation quantity of the old is more than that of the young, and the demand for protein, methionine and lysine is also higher than that of the young. The total amino acid supplement is better, prolonging life.
6、 Amino acids and essential amino acids: at present, there are more than one hundred and dozens of amino acids, including 20 amino acids for protein and more than one hundred amino acids for non protein. Amino acids must play an active role in maintaining human nutrition and life.
And can improve muscle vitality. Pediatric nutrition and detoxification. In addition, amino acid derivatives have shown promise in cancer treatment.
