Aspartic acid is a non-essential amino acid, but its metabolic pathway is an influential amino acid. Its main function is to generate energy and transport energy to the whole body. Aspartic acid, like glutamate, is particularly concentrated in the hippocampus and thalamus and has become a major neurotransmitter. Today, let's take you to understand why it is called an emotional stimulant, Is it really exciting？
What is the function of neurotransmitters?
The neurotransmitter is a chemical substance that transmits information between neurons or between neurons and effector cells, such as muscle cells and gland cells.
All kinds of normal physiological activities of the human body need the participation of nerves, and nerves need to play a role through neurotransmitters. The important neurotransmitters in the brain mainly include the following:
1. Acetylcholine: it is the main neurotransmitter of the parasympathetic nerve, which can promote memory and regulate the activity of the parasympathetic nerve;
2. Norepinephrine and epinephrine: it is an important neurotransmitter of the sympathetic nerve, which can regulate the sympathetic nerve and raise blood pressure;
3. Dopamine receptor: it can regulate mood and maintain muscle tension, make mood happy, and help the extrapyramidal system play its corresponding function;
4. 5-hydroxytryptamine: it mainly has the function of regulating spirit and emotion. When lacking, it can cause emotional and pain disorders.
What neurotransmitter does aspartic acid belong to?
Aspartic acid and glutamic acid are excitatory neurotransmitters, both belong to amino acid neurotransmitters. They are the amino acids with the highest concentration in the brain. Although they can be absorbed from the blood, they can also be synthesized by transaminase catalyzed with oxaloacetic acid or a-ketoglutarate and stored in axon terminals. When the nerve impulse is transmitted to the terminals, aspartic acid and glutamate neurotransmitters are released by the presynaptic membrane and quickly spread to the postsynaptic, and bind with the receptors there to open the sodium and potassium channel gates, resulting in excitatory effects; After excitation, a small part was re ingested by the presynaptic membrane and glial cells.
What are the clinical applications of aspartic acid?
The function and efficacy of aspartic acid are used to treat heart disease, liver disease, and hypertension. It can prevent and restore fatigue. Together with a variety of amino acids, it can be made into an amino acid infusion. It is used as an antidote, liver function, accelerator, and fatigue restorer. In the chemical industry, it can also be used as raw materials for synthetic resin and nutritional additives for cosmetics. In the food industry, aspartic acid is a good nutritional injection. Added to all kinds of cool drinks, it is also sweet and sour. Asparagus is the main raw material of phenylalanine methyl ester. Aspartic acid derivatives can significantly enhance the discharge of optic nerve units and the excitation of optic nerve units. It can be used as one of the important excitatory neurotransmitter receptors in the mammalian central nervous system.
