Document Summary
Plasma proteins: edema (because fluid goes into tissue) Transport protein: proteins that allows for the absorption of glucose. Amino acids are classified by structures: branched chain (iso, leu, val, sulfur (met, cys, aromatic (phe, tyr, trp, acidic slide chain (asp, glu) Nh3= amino group; cooh= carboxyl group and side chain which varies per aa. Lysine, threonine, histidine (cannot be formed by any meals so need to get from food) Tryp, leu, isoleu, val, phe, met (can be trans-aminated if keto acids are supplied) Ketone analogue transamination amino acid: limit aa intake if an individual has a metabolic disorder such as kidney stone or liver disease. 24: loosing muscle mass, capacity for growth decreases (need n for growth) Conditional amino acids are usually not essential, except in times of illness and stress. Conditional amino acids include: glutamine (precursor= glutamate and ammonia), tyrosine (precursor= phenylalanine), proline (precursor=glutamate), cysteine (p=met and ser), arginine (p= glutamine, glutamate, aspartate)
