General information about the study

Amino acids are organic substances containing carboxyl and amine groups. About 100 amino acids are known, but only 20 are involved in protein synthesis. These amino acids are called “proteinogenic” (standard) and, according to the possibility of synthesis in the body, are classified into replaceable and essential. Essential amino acids include arginine, valine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, threonine, tryptophan, phenylalanine. Nonessential amino acids are alanine, asparagine, aspartate, glycine, glutamate, glutamine, proline, serine, tyrosine, cysteine. Proteinogenic and non-standard amino acids, their metabolites are involved in various metabolic processes in the body. A defect in enzymes at various stages of transformation of substances can lead to the accumulation of amino acids and their transformation products and have a negative effect on the condition of the body.

Disorders of amino acid metabolism can be primary (congenital) or secondary (acquired). Primary aminoacidopathies are usually inherited autosomal recessively or X-linked and manifest in early childhood. Diseases develop due to a genetically determined deficiency of enzymes and/or transport proteins associated with the metabolism of certain amino acids. More than 30 variants of aminoacidopathies are described in the literature. Clinical manifestations can range from mild benign disorders to severe metabolic acidosis or alkalosis, vomiting, mental retardation and growth retardation, lethargy, coma, sudden neonatal death syndrome, osteomalacia, and osteoporosis. Secondary disorders of amino acid metabolism may be associated with diseases of the liver, gastrointestinal tract (for example, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease), kidneys (for example, Fanconi syndrome), insufficient or inadequate nutrition, and neoplasms. Early diagnosis and timely treatment can prevent the development and progression of symptoms of the disease.

This study makes it possible to comprehensively determine the concentration in the blood of standard and non-proteinogenic amino acids and their derivatives and assess the state of amino acid metabolism.

Alanine (A.L.A.) can be synthesized in the human body from other amino acids. It is involved in the process of gluconeogenesis in the liver. According to some data, increased levels of alanine in the blood are associated with increased blood pressure, body mass index, etc.

Arginine (A.R.G.) Depending on the age and functional state of the body, it is classified as semi-essential amino acids. Due to the immaturity of enzyme systems, premature babies are not capable of forming it, and therefore need an external source of this substance. An increased need for arginine occurs during stress, surgical treatment, and injuries. This amino acid is involved in cell division, wound healing, hormone release, and the formation of nitric oxide and urea.

Aspartic acid (A.S.P.) can be formed from citrulline and ornithine and is a precursor to some other amino acids. Aspartic acid and asparagine (ASN) participate in gluconeogenesis, the synthesis of purine bases, nitrogen metabolism, and the function of ATP synthetase. In the nervous system, asparagine plays the role of a neurotransmitter.

Citrulline (CIT) can be formed from ornithine or arginine and is an important component of the urea cycle in the liver (ornithine cycle). Citrulline is a component of filaggrin, histones, and plays a role in autoimmune inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis.

Glutamic acid (G.L.U.) – a non-essential amino acid that is of great importance in nitrogen metabolism. Free glutamic acid is used in the food industry as a flavor enhancer. Glutamic acid and glutamate are important excitatory neurotransmitters in the nervous system. Decreased glutamate release is observed in classic phenylketonuria.

Glycine (GLY) is a non-essential amino acid that can be formed from serine under the influence of pyridoxine (vitamin B6). It takes part in the synthesis of proteins, porphyrins, purines and is an inhibitory transmitter in the central nervous system.

Methionine (MET) – an essential amino acid, the maximum content of which is determined in eggs, sesame seeds, cereals, meat, and fish. Homocysteine ​​can be formed from it. Methionine deficiency leads to the development of steatohepatitis.

Ornithine (ORN) is not encoded by human DNA and is not involved in protein synthesis. This amino acid is formed from arginine and plays a key role in the synthesis of urea and the removal of ammonia from the body. Preparations containing ornithine are used to treat cirrhosis and asthenic syndrome.

Phenylalanine (PHE) – an essential amino acid, which is a precursor of tyrosine, catecholamines, melanin. A genetic defect in phenylalanine metabolism leads to the accumulation of the amino acid and its toxic products and the development of aminoacidopathy - phenylketonuria. The disease is associated with mental and physical developmental disorders and seizures.

Tyrosine (TYR) enters the body with food or is synthesized from phenylalanine. It is a precursor of neurotransmitters (dopamine, norepinephrine, adrenaline) and the pigment melanin. With genetic disorders of tyrosine metabolism, tyrosinemia occurs, which is accompanied by damage to the liver, kidneys and peripheral neuropathy. An important differential diagnostic value is the absence of an increase in the level of tyrosine in the blood during phenylketonuria, in contrast to some other pathological conditions.

Valine (VAL), leucine (LEU) And isoleucine (ILEU)– essential amino acids, which are important sources of energy in muscle cells. With fermentopathies that disrupt their metabolism and lead to the accumulation of these amino acids (especially leucine), “maple syrup disease” (leucinosis) occurs. The pathognomonic sign of this disease is the sweet odor of urine, which resembles maple syrup. Symptoms of aminoacidopathy occur early in life and include vomiting, dehydration, lethargy, hypotension, hypoglycemia, seizures and opisthotonus, ketoacidosis and central nervous system pathology. The disease often ends in death.

Hydroxyproline (HPRO) is formed by the hydroxylation of proline under the influence of vitamin C. This amino acid ensures the stability of collagen and is its main component. With a deficiency of vitamin C, the synthesis of hydroxyproline is disrupted, the stability of collagen decreases and damage to the mucous membranes occurs - symptoms of scurvy.

Serin (SER) is part of almost all proteins and is involved in the formation of the active centers of many enzymes in the body (for example, trypsin, esterases) and the synthesis of other non-essential amino acids.

Glutamine (GLN) is a partially replaceable amino acid. The need for it increases significantly with injuries, some gastrointestinal diseases, and intense physical activity. It takes part in nitrogen metabolism, purine synthesis, regulation of acid-base balance, and performs a neurotransmitter function. This amino acid accelerates the healing and recovery processes after injuries and surgeries.

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) synthesized from glutamine and is the most important inhibitory neurotransmitter. GABA drugs are used to treat various neurological disorders.

Beta-aminoisobutyric acid (BAIBA) is a product of the metabolism of thymine and valine. An increase in its level in the blood is observed with a deficiency of beta-aminoisobutyrate-pyruvate aminotransferase, fasting, lead poisoning, radiation sickness and some neoplasms.

Alpha aminobutyric acid (AABA)– a precursor for the synthesis of ophthalmic acid, which is an analogue of glutathione in the lens of the eye.

Beta Alanine (BALA), unlike alpha-alanine, it is not involved in protein synthesis in the body. This amino acid is part of carnosine, which, as a buffer system, prevents the accumulation of acids in muscles during physical activity, reduces muscle pain after training, and accelerates recovery processes after injuries.

Histidine (HIS)– an essential amino acid, which is a precursor of histamine, is part of the active centers of many enzymes, is found in hemoglobin, and promotes tissue repair. A rare genetic defect of histidase causes histidinemia, which can cause hyperactivity, developmental delays, learning difficulties and, in some cases, mental retardation.

Threonine (THRE)– an essential amino acid necessary for protein synthesis and the formation of other amino acids.

1-methylhistidine (1MHIS) is a derivative of anserine. The concentration of 1-methylhistidine in the blood and urine correlates with the consumption of meat foods and increases with deficiency. An increase in the level of this metabolite occurs when there is a deficiency of carosinase in the blood and is observed in Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis.

3-methylhistidine (3MHIS) is a product of actin and myosin metabolism and reflects the level of protein breakdown in muscle tissue.

Proline (PRO) synthesized in the body from glutamate. Hyperprolinemia due to a genetic defect of enzymes or due to inadequate nutrition, increased levels of lactic acid in the blood, or liver disease can lead to seizures, mental fatigue and other neurological pathologies.

Lysine (LYS)– an essential amino acid that is involved in the formation of collagen and tissue repair, the function of the immune system, the synthesis of proteins, enzymes and hormones. Lack of glycine in the body leads to asthenia, memory loss and impaired reproductive functions.

Alpha Amino Adipic Acid (AAA)– an intermediate product of lysine metabolism.

Cysteine ​​(CYS) is an essential amino acid for children, the elderly and people with malabsorption of nutrients. In healthy people, this amino acid is synthesized from methionine. Cysteine ​​is part of the keratin of hair and nails, is involved in the formation of collagen, is an antioxidant, a precursor of glutathione and protects the liver from the damaging effects of alcohol metabolites. Cystine is a dimeric cysteine ​​molecule. With a genetic defect in the transport of cystine in the renal tubules and intestinal walls, cystinuria occurs, which leads to the formation of stones in the kidneys, ureters and bladder.

Cystathionine (CYST)– an intermediate product of cysteine ​​metabolism during its synthesis from homocysteine. With hereditary deficiency of the enzyme cystathionase or acquired hypovitaminosis B 6, the level of cystathionine in the blood and urine increases. This condition is described as cystathioninuria, which is benign without obvious pathological signs, but in rare cases it can manifest as intellectual deficit.

Cysteinic acid (CYSA) is formed during the oxidation of cysteine ​​and is a precursor of taurine.

Taurine (TAU) synthesized from cysteine ​​and, unlike amino acids, is a sulfonic acid containing a sulfonic group instead of a carboxyl group. Taurine is part of bile, is involved in the emulsification of fats, is an inhibitory neurotransmitter, improves reparative and energy processes, and has cardiotonic and hypotensive properties.

Amino acids and proteins are widely used in sports nutrition and are used to increase muscle mass. Vegetarians, due to the lack of animal protein in their diet, may experience a deficiency of some essential amino acids. This study allows us to assess the adequacy of such types of nutrition and, if necessary, make their correction.

At the Doctor Nearby clinic, it makes it possible to determine the content of these beneficial compounds in the body. Today, more than a hundred amino acids are known, but only 32 of them provide protein production. Depending on the possibility of creation in the body, amino acids are divided into essential and non-essential.

Key essential amino compounds:

  • Valin;
  • Arginine;
  • Methionine;
  • Phenylalanine;
  • Tryptophan;
  • Lysine and others.

Key replaceable substances:

  • Alanine;
  • Acylcarnitine;
  • Citrulline;
  • Glycine;
  • Glutamate;
  • Asparagine and others.

These acids are needed for many metabolic processes in the human body. If the enzymes involved in the transformation are disrupted, the concentration of certain amino acids may increase. This negatively affects the functioning of various organs and systems. The pathology of amino acid metabolism can be hereditary or acquired.

Birth defects are inherited in an autosomal recessive manner and usually occur in early childhood. This group of diseases is caused by a lack of transport protein molecules and enzymes involved in the metabolism of amino acids. They can manifest themselves with various symptoms, ranging from minor malaise to severe general impairment, vomiting, coma, delayed physical and intellectual development, osteoporosis and osteomalacia.

In many diseases of internal organs, acquired or secondary metabolic disorders are observed.

Pathological conditions accompanied by a violation of amino acid metabolism include diseases of the digestive system (,), urinary system (Fanconi syndrome), malignant neoplasms, and so on.

Prevention and effective treatment of these diseases makes it possible to slow down their progression and normalize metabolism.

To diagnose these pathological processes, doctors at the Doctor Nearby clinic prescribe a blood test for 32 indicators. This diagnostic procedure makes it possible to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the content of these substances and their derivatives in the blood, as well as determine the state of amino acid metabolism in the body. You can find out the price of a blood test for amino acids on the company’s official website.

Preparing for analysis

To obtain reliable research results, you must adhere to certain preparation rules. During the day before donating blood for analysis, you should stop drinking alcoholic beverages.

For 8 hours before taking biological material, the patient must refuse to eat. During this period, you are only allowed to drink purified water without gas.

In consultation with your doctor, you should stop taking medications the day before donating blood, if possible. For half an hour before the test, the patient is advised to refrain from smoking and try to avoid psycho-emotional and physical overload.

Indications for the study

Doctors at the Doctor Nearby clinic advise taking an amino acid test in the following situations:

  • Suspicion of congenital and acquired disorders of amino acid metabolism;
  • Differential diagnosis of the pathology of the metabolism of nitrogenous bases and their elimination (with an increase in the level of ammonia in the body);
  • Monitoring the effectiveness of diet therapy and therapeutic measures;
  • Comprehensive assessment of nutritional status and diet correction;
  • Diagnosis of severe congenital disorders of amino acid metabolism in childhood in the presence of vomiting, metabolic acidosis, mental retardation and other characteristic signs;
  • Screening in persons with a complicated medical history (congenital disorders of amino acid metabolism in relatives).
  • Examination of people involved in professional sports (weightlifters, bodybuilders), especially those taking protein supplements.
  • Assessment of amino acid metabolism in vegetarians.

How the research works

To analyze the content of amino acids in the body, blood is taken from a vein on an empty stomach. Blood sampling takes place within a few minutes, after which the patient can go home and lead a normal life.

Interpretation of amino acid test results

Deciphering the analysis takes one business day. After this, the patient receives a conclusion about the results of the analysis, with which he goes to his doctor. When interpreting the results, the age of the patients, dietary habits, the presence of symptoms of any diseases and other laboratory data are taken into account.

Amino acids- organic compounds that are the main component of proteins (proteins). Disorders of amino acid metabolism are the cause of many diseases (liver and kidneys). Amino acid analysis (urine and blood) is the primary means of assessing dietary protein absorption as well as metabolic imbalances that underlie many chronic disorders.

The biomaterial for a comprehensive analysis of amino acids in the Hemotest Laboratory can be blood or urine.

The following essential amino acids are studied: alanine, arginine, aspartic acid, citrulline, glutamic acid, glycine, methionine, ornithine, phenylalanine, tyrosine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, hydroxyproline, serine, asparagine, α-aminoadipic acid, glutamine, β-alanine, taurine, histidine, threonine, 1-methylhistidine, 3-methylhistidine, γ-aminobutyric acid, β-aminoisobutyric acid, α-aminobutyric acid, proline, cystathionine, lysine, cystine, cysteic acid.

Alanin – an important source of energy for the brain and central nervous system; strengthens the immune system by producing antibodies; actively participates in the metabolism of sugars and organic acids.

Increased concentration: transient tyrosinemia of newborns, hyperphenylalaninemia, sepsis, hepatic encephalopathy, viral hepatitis, phenylketonuria.

Tyrosine is a precursor to the neurotransmitters norepinephrine and dopamine. Participates in the regulation of mood; a lack of tyrosine leads to a deficiency of norepinephrine, which leads to depression. Suppresses appetite, reduces fat deposits, promotes the production of melatonin and improves the functions of the adrenal glands, thyroid gland and pituitary gland, and is also involved in phenylalanine metabolism. Thyroid hormones are formed by the addition of iodine atoms to tyrosine.

An increase in the total level of amino acids in the blood is possible with:
  • eclampsia;
  • impaired fructose tolerance;
  • diabetic ketoacidosis;
  • renal failure;
  • Reye's syndrome.
A decrease in the total level of amino acids in the blood can occur when:
  • hyperfunction of the adrenal cortex;
  • fever;
  • Hartnup's disease;
  • Huntington's chorea;
  • inadequate nutrition, fasting (kwashiorkore);
  • malabsorption syndrome in severe diseases of the gastrointestinal tract;
  • hypovitaminosis;
  • nephrotic syndrome;
  • pappataci fever (mosquito, phlebotomy);
  • rheumatoid arthritis.
Primary aminoacidopathies:
  • increased arginine, glutamine - arginase deficiency;
  • increased arginine succinate, glutamine - arginosuccinase deficiency;
  • increased citrulline, glutamine - citrullinemia;
  • increased cystine, ornithine, lysine - cystinuria;
  • increased valine, leucine, isoleucine - maple syrup disease (leucinosis);
  • increased phenylalanine - phenylketonuria;
  • increased tyrosine - tyrosinemia.
Secondary aminoacidopathy:
  • increased glutamine - hyperammonemia;
  • increased alanine - lactic acidosis (lactic acidosis);
  • increased glycine - organic aciduria;
  • increased tyrosine - transient tyrosinemia in newborns.
