| Intended for non-biochemistry majors who have completed organic chemistry, this textbook describes the structure and dynamics of cellular components, introduces the basic concepts of molecular biology, and explores some aspects of intermediary metabolism, such as carbohydrates, glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and photosynthesis. Magnesium, an essential mineral that is critical for energy requiring processes, protein synthesis, membrane integrity, nervous tissue conduction, neuromuscular excitation, muscle contraction, hormone secretion, maintenance of vascular tone, and intermediary metabolism, can lead to changes in neuromuscular, cardiovascular, immune, and hormonal function; impaired energy metabolism, and reduced capacity for physical work when there is a deficiency. Therefore, the responses induced by infusion of glutamine or BCAA in our study should be related to the role of these amino acids in intermediary metabolism. |
