alanine and Infectious Diseases

alanine has been researched along with Infectious Diseases in 2 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.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"In mice infected with influenza A virus (IAV) and in patients with severe COVID-19 requiring artificial ventilation or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, blood levels of d-amino acids, including d-alanine, were reduced significantly compared with those of uninfected mice or healthy controls."1.91d-Alanine as a biomarker and a therapeutic option for severe influenza virus infection and COVID-19.
