Everything You Need To Know About The Aspartic Acid-2

Aspartic acid properties-2

Growth.
* It is immune activator of the thymus gland.
* Protects from the harmful effects of radiation.
* Specifically intervenes in the metabolic processes of the Central Nervous System (CNS).
* Participates in the formation of the glutamic acid or glutamate.
* Stimulates and participates in the brain connections and learning.
* Participates in the urea cycle.
* Participates in the gluconeogenesis: an anabolic metabolic pathway that allows the biosynthesis of glucose from precursors not sugary.

* Stimulates NMDA receptors (N-methyl-D-aspartate).
* Participates in the blood detoxification.


D aspartic acid study shows the following results:
Its deficiency can cause a number of disorders in the body, these are some of them:

Nervous system disorders.
Tiredness and fatigue.
Cardiovascular Alterations.
Metabolic alterations.
Liver Disorders due intoxification.

Normal Values:
All measurements are in micromol/liter (micromol/L).  The normal values can vary between different laboratories. Talk to doctor about the meaning of the specific test results.
Children: 0 to 26
Adults: 0 to 6

Meaning of abnormal values:
An increase in the total level of amino acids in the blood can be caused by:

Eclampsia.
Fructose intolerance.
Ketoacidosis (for diabetes).
Kidney Failure.
Reye's Syndrome.

A decrease in the total level of amino acids in the blood can be caused by:
adrenocortical hyperfunction.

Fever.
Hartnup disease.
Huntington's chorea.
Malnutrition.
Nephrotic syndrome.
Fever by sandflies.
Rheumatoid Arthritis.

High or low concentrations of individual plasma amino acids have to be interpreted along with other clinical information. Abnormal results may be due to diet, hereditary problems with the body's ability to handle the amino acid or to drug effects.

Data and precautions to take into account: it does not produce side effects, however people with liver or kidney disease, pregnant women, epilepsy, brain injury and Alzheimer's disease should not ingest large amounts of amino acids without the recommendations of a medical professional.
