alanine and Infection

alanine has been researched along with Infection in 11 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.

"5 mmol each of phenylalanine, tryptophan, and tyrosine compared with isonitrogenous amounts of alanine (Ala) would improve measures of protein kinetics in 14 (8 with AAA, 6 Ala) children with edematous malnutrition (aged 6-24 mo) during the infected acute malnourished state."7.72Supplementation with aromatic amino acids improves leucine kinetics but not aromatic amino acid kinetics in infants with infection, severe malnutrition, and edema. ( Badaloo, A; Forrester, T; Heird, WC; Jahoor, F; Reid, M, 2004)
