Therefore, many people believe that L-ascorbic acid (C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>8</sub>O<sub>6</sub>: vitamin C) reduces the recovery time between sports exercises. The most abundant form of structural protein in the body is collagen. Collagen is characterized by a high concentration of the three amino acids glycine (Gly), proline (Pro), and hydroxyproline (Hyp), which creates its characteristic triple helix structure. Therefore, in this study, the effect of vitamin C presence on the sequence, interaction, and orientation of amino acids for collagen formation is investigated using computational simulation. This study aimed to investigate the mechanism of action of vitamin C in terms of thermodynamics and structure of the reaction. The calculations are performed using density function theory (DFT) by the base set of B3LYP/6-311++G (p,d). The results show that the presence of vitamin C is effective in the formation of collagen protein for this interaction and the mechanism of amino acid sequence (Gly-Hyp-Pro) is better in the formation of collagen protein in the presence of vitamin C. The presence of Vit-C in the formation and direction of hydroxyproline (Hyp) causes its separation from the prolyl 5-hydroxylase enzyme. In the absence of vitamin C, the reaction stops at this stage and proline cannot be converted into hydroxyproline. The computational data shows vitamin C prevents unwanted interactions and directs amino acid reactions to repair connective tissue (collagen). Therefore, vitamin C acts as a cofactor in the Prolyl 5-Hydroxylase enzyme and causes it to convert proline to hydroxyl.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7810,"journal":{"name":"Amino Acids","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2023-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41134376","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, identifying circulatory markers to diagnose DKD requires a thorough understanding of the metabolic mechanisms of DKD. In this study, we performed ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) to reveal altered metabolic profiles of amino acids (AAs) in patients with DKD. We found decreased plasma levels of histidine and valine, increased urine levels of proline, decreased urine levels of histidine and valine, and increased saliva levels of arginine in patients with DKD compared with the levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and in healthy controls. Our analyses of the key metabolites and metabolic enzymes involved in histidine and valine metabolism indicated that the AAs level alterations may be due to enhanced carnosine hydrolysis, decreased degradation of homocarnosine and anserine, enhanced histidine methylation, and systemic enhancement of valine metabolism in patients with DKD. Notably, we generated a distinct diagnostic model with an AUC of 0.957 and an accuracy up to 92.2% on the basis of the AA profiles in plasma, urine and saliva differing in patients with DKD using logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic analyses. In conclusion, our results suggest that altered AA metabolic profiles are associated with the progression of DKD.

Accordingly, restriction of amino acids has been utilised as a therapeutic strategy in these cancers. Contrastingly, amino acid deficiencies in cancer are found to greatly impair immune functions, increasing mortality and morbidity rates. Dietary and supplemental amino acids in such conditions have revealed their importance as ‘immunonutrients’ by modulating cellular homeostasis processes and halting malignant progression. L-arginine specifically has attracted interest as an immunonutrient by acting as a nodal regulator of immune responses linked to carcinogenesis processes through its versatile signalling molecule, nitric oxide (NO). The quantum of NO generated directly influences the cytotoxic and cytostatic processes of cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, and senescence. However, L-lysine, a CAT transporter competitor for arginine effectively limits arginine input at high L-lysine concentrations by limiting arginine-mediated effects. The phenomenon of arginine–lysine antagonism can, therefore, be hypothesised to influence the immunonutritional effects exerted by arginine. The review highlights aspects of lysine’s interference with arginine-mediated NO generation and its consequences on immunonutritional and anti-cancer effects, and discusses possible alternatives to manage the condition.
