Zusammenfassung: Human health issues relating to amino acids are extremely broad and include metabolic disorders of amino acid metabolism as well as their presence in food and use as supplements. This book covers the biochemistry of amino acid metabolism in the context of health and disease. It discusses their use as food supplements, in clinical therapy and nutritional support and focuses on major recent developments, highlighting new areas of research that will be needed to sustain further interest in the field. It is suitable researchers and students in human nutrition and food science.Zusammenfassung: Intro -- Contents -- Contributors -- Preface -- Glossary -- A -- B -- C -- D -- E -- F -- G -- H -- I -- J -- K -- L -- M -- N -- O -- P -- R -- S -- T -- U -- V -- W -- PART I: ENZYMES AND METABOLISM -- 1 Glutamate Dehydrogenase -- 1.1 Abstract -- 1.2 Introduction -- 1.3 GDH in Animals -- 1.4 Active Site -- 1.5 Role of GDH in Insulin Homeostasis -- 1.6 Evolution of GDH Allostery -- 1.7 Conclusions -- 1.8 Acknowledgements -- 2 Aminotransferases -- 2.1 Abstract -- 2.2 Introduction -- 2.3 The Role of Aminotransferases in Brain Metabolism -- 2.4 Alanine Aminotransferases and Glutamate -- 2.5 Aspartate Aminotransferases and their Role in the Malate-Aspartate Shuttle and Glutamate Metabolism -- 2.6 Pathological Conditions Resulting from Impaired Aminotransferase Metabolism -- 2.7 Aminotransferase Proteins as Biomarkers of Disease -- 2.8 Conclusions and Future Directions -- 3 Arginase -- 3.1 Abstract -- 3.2 Introduction -- 3.3 Isoforms and Distribution -- 3.4 Structure and Location of Arginase -- 3.5 Involvement of Arginase in Health and Disease -- 3.6 Regulation of Activity -- 3.7 Arginase Inhibitors -- 3.8 Conclusions -- 4 Bypassing the Endothelial L-Arginine-Nitric Oxide Pathway: Effects of Dietary Nitrite and Nitrate on Cardiovascular Function -- 4.1 Abstract -- 4.2 Introduction -- 4.3 L-Arginine: A Semi-Essential Amino Acid in Human Physiology -- 4.4 L-Arginine is the Substrate of the Nitric Oxide Synthases: The L-Arginine-Nitric Oxide Pathway -- 4.5 L-Arginine in Cardiovascular Disease: Perspectives and Limitations -- 4.6 Nitric Oxide Generation without NO-Synthase?
