It is \r\n      believed to play an important role in the endocrine system. This<strong>amino \r\n      acid<\/strong>&nbsp;stimulates the production of growth hormones and promotes the \r\n      release of sex hormones, thus boosting natural testosterone levels. But \r\n      what is it really?\r\n    <\/p>\r\n    <h2>\r\n      Aspartic acid is one of the 22 amino acids that make up proteins.\r\n    <\/h2>\r\n    <p>\r\n      It is a non-essential amino acid because it can be synthesised by the \r\n      body from glutamate. It is one of the glucoforming amino acids.\r\n    <\/p>\r\n    <p>\r\n      Aspartic acid plays an important role in the urea cycle (ammonia \r\n      metabolism) and can enter the Krebs cycle (carbohydrate metabolism).\r\n    <\/p>\r\n    <p>\r\n      It is involved in the synthesis of dna (synthesis of pyrimidines). It is \r\n      the most abundant excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain.\r\n    <\/p>\r\n    <p>\r\n      Following an initial study carried out on rats, it was found that \r\n      testosterone was stimulated and consequently muscle development. \r\n      Unfortunately, other studies have obtained contradictory results.\r\n    <\/p>\r\n    <p>\r\n      In particular, one study found no effect on testosterone levels and \r\n      strength after 28 days of training over 4 weeks at a daily intake of 3g \r\n      of aspartic acid.\r\n    <\/p>\r\n    <p>\r\n      Further studies seem to be necessary in order to obtain more complete \r\n      and precise information, with longer periods of use and higher doses.\r\n    <\/p>\r\n    <h2>\r\n      Aspartic acid plays an important role at several levels of metabolism:\r\n    <\/h2>\r\n    <p>\r\n      Involved in the synthesis of purine and pyrimidine nuclei;\r\n    <\/p>\r\n    <ul>\r\n      <li>\r\n        Precursor of methionine, lysine, threonine and isoleucine;\r\n      <\/li>\r\n      <li>\r\n        NH3 donor in the urea cycle;\r\n      <\/li>\r\n      <li>\r\n        NH2 reservoir in muscle AMP resynthesis;\r\n      <\/li>\r\n      <li>\r\n        Increases magnesium absorption;\r\n      <\/li>\r\n      <li>\r\n        Combined with ATP, leads to aspargine, a major energy source;\r\n      <\/li>\r\n      <li>\r\n        Co-Active and Metabolically Useful Elements: Vitamin B6, Vitamin E, \r\n        Vitamins B1 and B2, Zinc, Selenium, Glutamine.\r\n      <\/li>\r\n    <\/ul>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aspartic acid is one of the 22 amino acids that make up proteins.
