The Effects Of Amino Acids On Glucose Metabolism
Amino acids are said to help as regulators of different regulatory processes and provide therapeutic applications of prevention of metabolic disorders. Also, impaired glucose metabolism is frequent in numerous health problems like hepatic cirrhosis.
One of the studies shows that branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) promote glucose intake in case of insulin-free conditions in rats.
IMPROVEMENT OF A SINGLE DOSE OF L – TRP:
- Insulin levels,
- Blood glucose
- Blood pressure
The main conclusion in this research is that L – Trp with continuous support significantly improves glucose metabolism and blood pressure.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO KNOW VARIOUS ASPECTS INCLUDING WHICH AMINO ACIDS STIMULATE INSULIN RELEASE?
With the modern lifestyle that many people have, there are many possibilities to have too much nutrition and not enough physical activities. These are the main reasons why it leads to further metabolic problems.
METABOLIC DISORDERS:
A lot of effort is for investigation bioactive compounds in foods that include antioxidants like vitamins c and e. Taking vitamin C supplement, polyphenols, carotenoids, and polyphenols might be recommended.
Aside from these, there are also other ways on how to improve metabolism and avoid further diseases. Among those are functional foods, special medicines, and supplements (including Balance Cellular-MICA for energy, immune support, detoxification, and nutrition). Recent studies show that also different amino acids like L- tryptophan (L- Trp) can have a use as a part of novel therapeutics. However, if you ask if BCAA cause insulin resistance, the answer is that it might. But there is a need for further research the same as regarding the dosage and whether it is the only crucial aspect that influences the result.
A study from 2011 also examined the support of L- tryptophan (L- Trp) on the regulation of blood pressure and glucose metabolism in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP). The process took three weeks.
