alanine and Birth Weight

alanine has been researched along with Birth Weight in 23 studies

Alanine: A non-essential amino acid that occurs in high levels in its free state in plasma. It is produced from pyruvate by transamination. It is involved in sugar and acid metabolism, increases IMMUNITY, and provides energy for muscle tissue, BRAIN, and the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM.
alanine : An alpha-amino acid that consists of propionic acid bearing an amino substituent at position 2.

Birth Weight: The mass or quantity of heaviness of an individual at BIRTH. It is expressed by units of pounds or kilograms.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"This MR study elucidated the causal impact of lower birthweight on subsequent risk of NAFLD, independently of later-life adiposity and identified mediators including insulin resistance, branched-chain amino acids, alanine and MUFA in this association pathway."5.41Causal effect of lower birthweight on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and mediating roles of insulin resistance and metabolites. ( Bi, Y; Chen, Y; Kong, L; Li, M; Lu, J; Ning, G; Wang, T; Wang, W; Wang, Y; Xu, M; Xu, Y; Ye, C; Zhao, Z; Zheng, J, 2023)
" Using a swine model, we tested the hypothesis that dietary L-arginine supplementation during gestation may improve pregnancy outcomes through enhancing placental growth and modulating hormonal secretions."3.78Dietary L-arginine supplementation enhances placental growth and reproductive performance in sows. ( Chen, F; Gao, K; Jiang, Z; Lin, Y; Wu, G; Yang, L; Zheng, C; Zhou, G, 2012)
"Type 2 diabetes is known to be associated with a small body size at birth."1.31The effects of the Pro12Ala polymorphism of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma2 gene on insulin sensitivity and insulin metabolism interact with size at birth. ( Barker, DJ; Eriksson, JG; Forsén, TJ; Laakso, M; Lindi, V; Osmond, C; Uusitupa, M, 2002)
