Oct 1, 2019 · Theanine (=L-γ-glutamylethylamide) is an amino acid ingredient supposed to be more abundant in green tea than in black and oolong teas, although these tea beverages are all made of the identical tea plant “Chanoki” (Camellia sinensis). Production processes are different from each other with the individual tea beverages (Fig. 1).
Jul 4, 2023 · Neurogenesis. Taurine increases stem cells and progenitor cells (neural precursor cells) in your brain including the aging hippocampus and increases the survival of newborn neurons (neurogenesis). Overview. Taurine (2-aminoethane-sulfonic acid) is one of the most abundant amino acids in your body.
Sep 16, 2022 · Adult glycinergic neurotransmission. In addition to its role in cell metabolism, being the structurally simplest amino acid, glycine, acting through ionotropic receptors, also serves as an important and widely distributed inhibitory neurotransmitter that is most prominently expressed in adult brainstem, spinal cord, and retina of animals from several phyla (Aprison and Werman, 1965; Werman et ...
Nov 7, 2017 · Neurogenesis plays a critical role in neural plasticity, brain homeostasis, and maintenance in the central nervous system and is a crucial factor in preserving the cognitive function and repair of damaged brain cells affected by aging and brain disorders. Intrinsic factors such as aging, neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and brain injury, as ...
The green tea amino acid theanine is abundant in green tea rather than black and oolong teas, which are all made of the identical tea plant "Chanoki" (Camellia sinensis). Theanine has a molecular structure close to glutamine (GLN) compared to glutamic acid (Glu), in terms of the absence of a free carboxylic acid moiety from the gamma carbon ...
Feb 1, 2023 · Over the past decades, mounting evidence has identified a strong association between metabolic status and adult neurogenesis. Here, we aim to summarize how amino acids and their neuroactive metabolites affect adult neurogenesis. Furthermore, we discuss the causal link between amino acid metabolism, adult neurogenesis, and neurological diseases.
POU3F2/BRN-2 is a transcription factor that is mainly expressed in the central nervous system and plays an important role in brain development. The transactivation domain of POU3F2 includes multiple mammalian-characteristic tandem amino acid repeats (homopolymeric amino acid repeats). We previously …
