	Amino Acid supplement : : by Ray Sahelian, M.D. essential amino acids supplement 20 amino acids
		Alanine, 2-aminopropanoic acid, is a non-essential amino acid.
		Valine is one of the 20 proteinogenic amino acids.
		The precise amino acid content, and the sequence of those amino acids, of a specific protein, is determined by the sequence of the bases in the gene that encodes that protein.

	Fatty acid metabolism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fatty acids are also used for protein modification, and all steroid hormones are ultimately derived from fatty acids.
		Fatty acids, stored as triglycerides in an organism, are an important source of energy because they are both reduced and anhydrous.
		Fatty acids are usually ingested as triglycerides, which cannot be absorbed by the intestine.

	List of fatty acid metabolism disorders - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with Inborn error of metabolism.
		Numerous genetic disorders are caused by errors in fatty acid metabolism.
		These disorders may be described as fatty oxidation disorders or as a lipid storage disorders, and are any one of several inborn errors of metabolism that result from enzyme defects affecting the ability of the body to oxidize fatty acids in order to produce energy within muscles, liver, and other cell types.

	Omega-3 Fatty Acids
		Omega-3 fatty acids are considered essential fatty acids, which means that they are essential to human health but cannot be manufactured by the body.
		Levels of omega-3 fatty acids were found to be measurably low and the ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids were particularly high in a study of patients hospitalized for depression.
		Depression and bipolar disorder: relationships to impaired fatty acid and phospholipid metabolism and to diabetes, cardiovascular disease, immunological abnormalities, cancer, ageing and osteoporosis.

	Newborn Screening Program - MCAD and Other Fatty Acid Oxidation Disorders
		Fatty acid oxidation disorders are a group of inherited metabolic conditions that lead to an accumulation of fatty acids, and a decrease in cell energy metabolism.
		As an autosomal recessive disorder, the parents of a child with one of these conditions are unaffected, healthy carriers of the condition, and have one normal gene and one abnormal gene.
		This metabolic pathway is complex and comprises as many as 20 individual steps including uptake and activation of fatty acids by cells, the carnitine cycle and the beta-oxidation spiral, with various enzymes required for the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids.

		The fatty acids in RBCs are mostly in the RBC membranes, in the form of phospholipids.
		Fatty acid profiles require very little blood and cause no harm, but they are expensive and often are not reimbursed by insurers.
		Because large amounts of these fatty acids are used as internal standards, they may remain in the column for a while and appear as small peaks (substances) in subsequent sample injections that did not use those internal standards.

	Organic Acid Disorders (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		These metabolic disorders cause a buildup of toxic organic acid intermediates due to the body’s inability to breakdown certain amino acids and odd-chain organic acids.
		The enzyme deficiencies are farther down the pathways of amino acid metabolism, so there is not a buildup of amino acids but rather their intermediate organic acid states.
		The disorders are typically named after the organic acid marker that becomes elevated in that disorder or the deficient enzyme.

	Food Product Design: Cover - November 2001 - Fatty Acid Basics
		Often, fatty acids are categorized by chain length: those called short chain have less than 10 carbon atoms, medium chain have 10 to 14 carbon atoms, and long chain have more than 14 carbons.
		Linoleic acid (18:2n-6) is called “omega-6,” or “n-6,” because its first double bond occurs at the sixth carbon from the omega, or methyl (-CH3), end of the fatty acid.
		The primary fatty acids are oleic and linoleic, with the remainder consisting of palmitic and stearic saturated fatty acids.

	Amino Acid Disorders (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Amino acid disorders are caused by the body’s inability to breakdown or metabolize certain amino acids in proteins, or by the inability to detoxify the by-product of amino acids (ammonia) through the urea cycle.
		Elevated (marker) amino acids act as an indication that the enzyme needed to metabolize them may be disabled or missing.
		Screening results that indicate a moderate to high risk for an amino acid disorder are considered “presumptive positive” and are immediately phoned and faxed to the physician of record.

	Approach to Disorders of Fat Oxidation - Information for Clinicians
		The disorders of mitochondrial fat oxidation have received much attention and focus for research over the past decade and represent explanations for some children with Reye-like syndrome, cardiomyopathy, hypotonia and developmental delay, hypoglycemia, as well, in some cases, sudden infant death (1).
		The approach to the diagnosis of inherited disorders involving mitochondrial fatty acid metabolism can be further focused by knowledge of the phenotypic presentation of each of the known deficiencies.
		The clinical presentations of the various inherited disorders of mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation are frequently characteristic of one or more deficiencies and can direct specific laboratory testing to establish the diagnosis rapidly and economically.

		Fatty acid metabolism in neurodevelopmental disorders: a new perspective on associations between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorders, dyslexia, dyspraxia and the autistic spectrum.

		Generally, a fatty acid consists of a straight chain of an even number of carbon atoms, with hydrogen atoms along the length of the chain and at one end of the chain and a carboxyl group (COOH) at the other end.

	Health & Wellness - Hempseed Oil - Nature's Essential Fatty Acid
		As defined in Mosby’s Medical Encyclopedia c 1995, Essential fatty acid is a polyunsatured acid, as linoleic, linolenic, and arachodonic, that is essential in the diet for the proper growth and functioning of the body.
		While the Omega-6 fatty acid content of our diet is generally sufficient, the excess trans-fats, ingested in hydrogenated foods, often prevents EFAs from being converted to the prostaglandins required to regulate many of the body’s metabolic functions.
		Approximately 80% of the fatty acids in hempseed oil are polyunsatured and it is reputed to be the most polyunsatured vegetable seed oil known in the plant kingdom.

		NIDA's exclusion criteria for "patients with a history of active neurological or psychiatric disorders, such as cerebellar dysfunction, psychosis, bipolar illness, major depression, organic brain disease or dementia, that require treatment", may be well thought out and these patients should be avoided by persons not having professional skills in psychiatry and psychopharmacology.
		Their solution was to have the patient walk into an emergency room or community health service with a friend and to have the friend inform the staff that the person with them had a pain in the chest and passed out and when unconscious appeared to go into convulsions.
		While absorption and metabolism factors are not distinct to ibogaine and are common to many drugs, individual patient responses to dose and particularly sensitivity of females to ibogaine must be recognized.
