alanine and Graves Disease

alanine has been researched along with Graves Disease in 7 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.

Graves Disease: A common form of hyperthyroidism with a diffuse hyperplastic GOITER. It is an autoimmune disorder that produces antibodies against the THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE RECEPTOR. These autoantibodies activate the TSH receptor, thereby stimulating the THYROID GLAND and hypersecretion of THYROID HORMONES. These autoantibodies can also affect the eyes (GRAVES OPHTHALMOPATHY) and the skin (Graves dermopathy).

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" We studied the urea-nitrogen synthesis rate (UNSR) and the kinetics of the process of hepatic amino-nitrogen to urea-nitrogen conversion in response to constant alanine infusion (ie, the functional hepatic nitrogen clearance [FHNC]) in five hyperthyroid female patients before and after the achievement of a stable euthyroid status."7.69Hepatic conversion of amino-nitrogen to urea in thyroid diseases. II. A study in hyperthyroid patients. ( Bianchi, GP; Fabbri, A; Giovanelli, P; Lodi, A; Marchesini, G; Motta, E; Urbini, D, 1994)
"Patients with IDDM also had significantly more Ala alleles as homozygotes (19%) or heterozygotes (50%; P = 0."5.30CTLA4 alanine-17 confers genetic susceptibility to Graves' disease and to type 1 diabetes mellitus. ( Badenhoop, K; Braun, J; Donner, H; Finke, R; Herwig, J; Rau, H; Siegmund, T; Usadel, KH; Walfish, PG, 1997)
