form the major constituents of muscle
Proteins are polypeptides consisting of chains of more than 50 amino acid units. The genetic code specifies about 20 True Religion Shop basic amino acids genetically sequenced in different ways. Proteins perform all sorts of functions and are part of almost every sort of structure. They catalyze chemical reactions in the body, regulate gene expression, play an important role in the functioning of the immune system, form the major constituents of muscle, and are the main structural elements of cells. It is believed that they play a role in virtually every cell of the body.
The 20 amino acids are:
alanine, arginine, asparagine,True ReligionTrue Religion Jeans Crops On Sale, aspartic acid, aysteine, alutamic acid, alutamine glycine, histidine, isoleucine, lysine, leucine, methionine, phenylalanine, proline, serine, threonine, tryptophan, tyrosine, valine
The human body can produce 10 of these itself but the rest need to be supplied by the food we eat. If our diet fails to supply even one of these, the body and its muscles start deteriorating. True Religion Herren We are pretty good at storing fat, but unfortunately we cannot store protein. The amino acids that we can synthesize ourselves are: alanine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamic acid, glutamine, glycine, proline, serine and tyrosine as long as our diet contains phenylalanine.
The rest cannot be synthesized by the body and therefore, our diets need to contain them every day; hence the name essentialTrue Religion Brand Jeans amino acids. They are arginine [for children; we outgrow this need later], histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine.
When we take in proteins, they are digested and broken down into the component amino acids which get absorbed True Religion Outlet into the blood stream. Then what happens to them depends very much on our bodies’ state at that moment, and what it needs.
Immediately after exercise, the blood flow to the muscles will be very high and this is the opportunity we are looking for to send lots of amino acids to build and strengthen them. In other words, eat! The trouble is that a high protein meal is going to take hours to digest. During this time the blood flow will be diverted to the stomach and digestive system away from the muscles. We will have lost our window of opportunity. True Religion Joey The way that body building experts and sports nutritionists overcome this,True Religion Skinny Outlet Online, is by using a scientifically developed free-form amino acids for us to ingest immediately after exercise. Free-form amino acids have the huge advantage that they don’t need a lengthy digestion process. As they are not bound up with other molecules, they travel rapidly through the stomach and into the intestines. Truereligion Jeans In 10 to 15 minutes they can be absorbed into the blood stream and on their way to the muscles that have been working out, to do their job.
