asparagine/fatigue

OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the effect of aspartate (ASP) and asparagine (ASG) supplementation on fatigue determinants in Wistar rats exercised to exhaustion by swimming. METHODS The animals were tested for anaerobic threshold (AT) determination and then supplemented with 350 mM ASP + 400 mM ASG

OBJECTIVE Oxaloacetic acid represents a fundamental intermediary in the metabolism of energy substrate. Asparagine and aspartate constitute precursor compounds of this substance. Therefore, they could affect tricarbossilic acids cycle. Besides, it was suggested that supplementation with aspartate

Patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) have a broad and variable spectrum of signs and symptoms with variable onsets. This report outlines the results of a single-blind, cross-sectional research project that extensively investigated a large cohort of 100 CFS patients and 82 non fatigued

Muscle and plasma amino acids, subjective fatigue and body weight were studied in 16 patients before and 20 days after uncomplicated elective abdominal surgery. Fatigue increased from a mean (+/- SEM) preoperative level of 2.4 +/- 0.4 arbitrary units to 4.4 +/- 0.5 on postoperative day 20, while

Corticosteroid-binding globulin (SERPINA6) deficiency is an extremely rare hereditary disorder characterized by reduced corticosteroid-binding capacity with normal or low plasma corticosteroid-binding globulin concentration, and normal or low basal cortisol levels associated with hypo-/hypertension

ng class="sub-title"> Introduction: ng> Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is one of the most distressing and persistent symptoms reported during pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) therapy; however, information on the pathways underlying CRF severity is

OBJECTIVE To examine altered amino acid homeostasis as a predisposing factor of fatigue in female radiotherapy breast cancer patients. METHODS Participants underwent breast-conserving surgery and adjuvant breast irradiation and were free from significant fatigue pre-radiotherapy. The Functional

OBJECTIVE A case of agomelatine-induced hepatotoxicity is described in a 47-year female patient who has received the drug, 25 mg/day, for 4 months, for the treatment of depression. METHODS The patient was admitted to the Department of Gastroenterology because of fatigue and nausea, with concomitant

Muscle proteins turn over slowly and there are minimal diurnal changes in the size of the muscle protein pool in response to feeding and fasting. Nitrogen balance and tracer studies indicate that protein oxidation and net protein breakdown (degradation--synthesis) is not increased during dynamic

Plasma proteins in hemodialysis patients display a significant increase in deamidated/isomerized Asx (asparagine and aspartic acid) content, a marker of protein fatigue damage. This has been linked to the toxic effects of hyperhomocysteinemia in uremic erythrocytes; however, treatment aimed at

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the in vitro activity of polyethylene glycol-conjugated L-asparaginase (PEG-Lasparaginase) against fresh human tumor specimens, using the human tumor clonogenic assay (HTCA), and to perform a phase I dose-escalation clinical trial of PEG-L-asparaginase. The goal of the clinical

Six amino acids are metabolized in resting muscle. They are leucine, isoleucine, valine, asparagine, aspartate, and glutamate. These amino acids provide the amino groups and probably the ammonia required for synthesis of glutamine and alanine, which are released in excessive amounts in the

The rapidly increasing use of pegasparaginase (pegASNase) in adults, after a half century of use of asparaginase (ASNase) in children, has prompted a need for guidelines in the management and prevention of toxicities of asparagine depletion in adults. Accordingly, an initial set of recommendations
