aspartic acid and Anxiety Disorders

aspartic acid has been researched along with Anxiety Disorders in 17 studies

Aspartic Acid: One of the non-essential amino acids commonly occurring in the L-form. It is found in animals and plants, especially in sugar cane and sugar beets. It may be a neurotransmitter.
aspartic acid : An alpha-amino acid that consists of succinic acid bearing a single alpha-amino substituent
L-aspartic acid : The L-enantiomer of aspartic acid.

Anxiety Disorders: Persistent and disabling ANXIETY.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Impaired function of the central gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) system, which provides the brain's major inhibitory pathways, is thought to play an important role in the pathophysiology of anxiety disorders."3.76Effect of acute psychological stress on prefrontal GABA concentration determined by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy. ( Drevets, WC; Grillon, C; Hasler, G; Shen, J; van der Veen, JW, 2010)
"Symptoms of GAD overlap with those of major depressive disorder to such an extent that studying one disorder without studying the other may be impossible."2.45Neurobiology of generalized anxiety disorder. ( Stein, MB, 2009)
"Overweight was associated with reduced NAA concentrations in the hippocampus with a strong effect size."1.40Reduced hippocampal N-acetyl-aspartate (NAA) as a biomarker for overweight. ( Abdallah, CG; Coplan, JD; Fathy, HM; Kral, JG; Mao, X; Mathew, SJ; Ragab, SA; Shungu, DC, 2014)
"7 year; 4 females) received 12 weeks of open-label paroxetine treatment, flexibly dosed up to 60 mg/day."1.36A pilot study of the effects of chronic paroxetine administration on hippocampal N-acetylaspartate in generalized anxiety disorder. ( Amiel, JM; Coplan, JD; Mao, X; Mathew, SJ; Price, RB; Shungu, DC; Smith, EL, 2010)
