Dynamic Aspects of Amino Acid Metabolism Clinical Trials Info presented on Clinical Trials Search is not intended to be a substitute for certified medical advice, visits or professional assistance using a real physician. We are not physicians. Always consult your dr. about Dynamic Aspects of Amino Acid Metabolism conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a site dedicated to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Dynamic Aspects of Amino Acid Metabolism Clinical research trials and Dynamic Aspects of Amino Acid Metabolism health trials happen in many of localities throughout the U.S.. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials typically measure the effectualness of new drugs. The function of the studies / projects is to resolve particular human medical questions. Clinical trials are a popular manner for mDs, government agencies, and private sector corporations to discover remedies for all varieties of circumstances, like Dynamic Aspects of Amino Acid Metabolism. Dynamic Aspects of Amino Acid Metabolism Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow volunteers to obtain healthcare treatment options before they are available to the masses. Some times the participants undergo professional assistance for free of charge, and occasionally they are paid for their time. Sometimes there is a cost for a Dynamic Aspects of Amino Acid Metabolism clinical trial. Human subjects often get the best healthcare available for their Dynamic Aspects of Amino Acid Metabolism condition. Dangers are a reality, however, and may include additional or frequent mD visits, healthcare dangers (potentially life-jeopardising), and/or the treatment being ineffectual. Trials are federally governed with rigorous guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

Dynamic Aspects of Amino Acid Metabolism



Dynamic Aspects of Amino Acid Metabolism

For Condition: Kidney Diseases
Status: Recruiting
Sponsor(s): National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) ,
Synopsis: This protocol seeks to define aspects of intestinal and hepatic uptake and metabolism of several amino acids. The major hypothesis to be tested is that the splanchic bed (intestine and liver) conserves essential amino acids and metabolites while synthesizing and metabolizing nonessential amino acids. The aims of the study include defining the relative roles of enteral and hepatic extraction/metabolism in the disposition of glutamate, alanine, methionine and other amino acids. Emphasis will also be placed on studies of the transamination of alpha-ketoisocaproic acid (KIC) to leucine since this reaction is of potential importance in the design of nutritional regimens for patients with renal disease.
