Product Description
Glutamic acid is a Acidic amino acid, which mainly exists in cereal protein and animal brain. It is one of the amino acids that make up proteins and is an important nutrient for both humans and animals, with special physiological effects. It is mainly used clinically for hepatic encephalopathy and some psycho nervous system disease caused by various reasons, such as schizophrenia and epileptic seizures, and can also improve children's intellectual development. It is recognized as a brain building substance that can maintain the excitability of brain activity and enhance the initiative of learning. It is also a commonly used food freshener in people's daily lives, such as monosodium glutamate.
D-glutamic acid is currently paid attention as a modulator of neuronal transmission and hormonal secretion. It is metabolized only by D-aspartate oxidase in mammals. After in traperitoneal injection, L-glutamate is catabolized via a-ketoglutarate, where as D-glutamate is converted to n-pyrrolidone carboxylic acid. Carbon 2 of both D- and L-glutamate is converted in the cecum to the methyl carbon of acetate. Both rat liver and kidney catalyze the conversion of D-glutamic acid to n-pyrrolidone carboxylic acid.
