What are the essential amino acids?
PVT TIM HALL Phenylalanine, valine, tryptophan, threonine, isoleucine, methionine, histidine, arginine, leucine, and lycine
What are the semi-essential AAs?
histidine and argadine
Which AAs have an aromatic ring?
Phenylalanine, tryptophan, and tyrosine
What are the Basic (pH) AAs?
hisitidine, arginine, and lysine (HAL is a basic guy)
What are the neutral AAs?
serine, threonine, asparagine, and glutamine (STAG)
What are the sulfur containing AAs?
methionine and cysteine
What AAs are not glucogenic?
leucine and lysine
What are the branch chain AAs?
leucine, isoleucine, and valine
What are the acidic AAs?
glutamate and aspartate
What are the aliphatic “chain” AAs?
(from less to more hydrophilic) glycine, alanine, valine, leucine, and isoleucine
What are food sources of AAs?
meats, fish, eggs, dairy, PB, and grains
Where are AAs digested?
stomoach and SI
What breaks down AAs in the stomach?
pepsin, HCL, and rennin (infants and children only)
What breaks down AAs in the SI?
trypsin, chymotrypsin, carboxypeptidase, aminopeptidase, dipeptidase
What is the route of AAs metabolism?
transamination then oxidative deamination
What is removed from AA metabolism, where is it taken and what takes it there?
ammonia, taken to the urea cycle by glutamate
What are the two possibilities to the carbon skeletons left after AA metabolism?
glucogenic or ketogenic
What 3 AAs donate nitrogen form purines and pyrimidines?
glutamine, aspertate, and asparagine
What 6 AAs is muscle able to oxidize?
Glutamate, aspartate, leucine, valine, isoleucine, and asparagine (my GAL VIA)
What are the other names for the lactic acid cycle?
glucose-alanine cycle or cori cycle
What does the glucose-alanine cycle make?
ammonia from amino acids and lactate from glucose (during exercise)
Alanine-ammonia=?
lactate
What does the liver do during the glucose-alanine cycle?
converts alanine back into lactate and ammonia
