alanine /al·a·nine/ (Ala) (A) (al´ah-nen) a nonessential amino acid occurring in proteins and also free in plasma. ß-alanine an amino acid not found in proteins but occurring free and in some peptides; it is a precursor of acetyl CoA and an intermediate in uracil and cytosine catabolism.
alanine (al´  nēn),n a nonessential amino acid found in many proteins in the body. It is metabolized in the liver to produce pyruvate and glutamate. alanine a naturally occurring, nonessential amino acid. alanine cycle cycle of alanine produced in muscle from transamination of pyruvate produced from glycolysis of glucose during exercise, transported in the plasma to the liver where the alanine amino-nitrogen is converted to urea for excretion and the carbon from the keto-acid of alanine, pyruvate, is recycled via gluconeogenesis to glucose, which is finally transported back to the muscle.

By day 4 of hospitalization, the patient's level of creatine
phosphokinase had elevated to 146 266 U/L, the level of aspartate
aminotransferase was 3082 U/L, the level of alanine aminotransferase was
1144 U/L, and the level of lactate dehydrogenase was 4687 U/L. As a result, in mice administered the
anti-CXCL10 neutralizing antibody the serum alanine transferase (ALT3)
level was significantly lower, and histologically too the area of
necrotized hepatic cells was strikingly reduced. The drug has proven an effective inhibitor of virus replication and
has indicated improvements in the increase of alanine aminotransferase
(ALT) and overall liver health. |
