		Alanine is a non-essential amino acid and is used by the body to build protein and was first isolated in 1879.
		The alpha-carbon in alanine is substituted with a levorotatory (l)-methyl group, making it one of the simplest amino acids with respect to molecular structure and is one of the most widely used in protein construction.
		In one study of men with benign prostatic hyperplasia, it was found that 780 mg of alanine per day for two weeks and then 390 mg for the next two and a half months, taken together in combination with equal amounts of glycine and glutamic acid reduced the symptoms.

		Alanine is one of the simplest of the amino acids and is involved in the energy-producing breakdown of glucose.
		In conditions of sudden anaerobic energy need, when muscle proteins are broken down for energy, alanine acts as a carrier molecule to take the nitrogen-containing amino group to the liver to be changed to the less toxic urea, thus preventing buildup of toxic products in the muscle cells when extra energy is needed.
		Alanine is found in a wide variety of foods, but is particularly concentrated in meats.

	Alanine accumulation under anaerobic stress - Aminotransferase Reactions - HORT640 - Metabolic Plant Physiology - ...
		The precise function of alanine accumulation under anoxia is unknown, but it is speculated that it may serve as a storage form of pyruvate (perhaps in the vacuole), controlling supply of pyruvate to LDH and PDC, and hence flux to lactate and ethanol (Good and Crosby, 1989; Good and Muench, 1992).
		The synthesis of alanine may occur at the expense of the acidic amino acids, glutamate and aspartate (Streeter and Thompson, 1972; Stewart and Larher 1980), and occurs concomitantly with the accumulation of 4-aminobutyrate or gamma-aminobutyrate (GABA) (Streeter and Thompson, 1972; Stewart and Larher, 1980; Wallace et al, 1984; Ratcliffe, 1995).
