Metabolism and Physiological Effects of Putrescine
smpdb.ca/view/SMP0123276MetabolicPutrescine is an aliphatic amine that is formed through gut microbial metabolism from the amino acid arginine which is acquired from foods that are high in protein. … While putrescine is important for interactions and processes involving, DNA, RNA and proteins, at high levels it is also a protein bound uremic toxin found in the body that can inhibit erythropoietin production
Metabolism and Physiological Effects of Xanthosine
smpdb.ca/view/SMP0124866MetabolicXanthosine then enters the blood where it can have detrimental effects on other organs such as the kidney, causing renal failure and the heart causing cardiovascular disease. … The purines are guanine and adenine. These undergo metabolism in the liver to form xanthosine. Adenine forms adenosine through the enzyme purine nucleoside phosphorylase.
Metabolism and Physiological Effects of Uridine
smpdb.ca/view/SMP0124871MetabolicMore specifically, uridine is a nucleoside consisting of uracil and D-ribose and a component of RNA. … L-glutamine is first converted to carbamoyl phosphate then to N-Carbamoyl-L-aspartate and finally to dihydroorotate by the CAD protein (carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase 2, aspartate transcarbamylase, and
Enzymes: Neutral amino acid transporter B(0)D-Arginine and D-Ornithine Metabolism
smpdb.ca/view/SMP0000036MetabolicD-Amino acids have been show to be present in high concentrations in humans and play a role in biological functions. … DAAO is highly specific towards D-amino acids and favours free neutral D-amino acids or those with hydrophobic, polar or aromatic groups. Acidic amino acids are not catalyze by DAOO.

smpdb.ca/view/SMP0123255MetabolicPhenol is shown to cause cardiovascular disease and enhance the production of reactive oxygen species and cause oxidative stress. … Phenol can get further metabolized in a liver hepatocyte to Phenyl sulphate and Phenyl glucuronide. However phenol itself is shown to be a major uremic toxin through high levels of retention.
Metabolism and Physiological Effects of Choline
smpdb.ca/view/SMP0124739MetabolicTMAO has negative effects on organs such as the heart, kidney and vascular system by contributing to cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis, endothelial dysfunction and kidney disease. … Choline is obtained from foods like poultry, meat, fish, dairy and eggs.
Metabolism and Physiological Effects of Dimethylglycine
smpdb.ca/view/SMP0124873MetabolicDimethylglycine (DMG) is an amino acid derivative found in the cells of all plants and animals and can be obtained in the diet in small amounts from grains and meat. … Dimethylglycine enters the bloodstream and can cause toxic effects on the cardiovascular system.

smpdb.ca/view/SMP0126858MetabolicPhenylacetylglycine or PAG is a glycine conjugate of phenylacetic acid. Phenylacetic acid may arise from exposure to styrene (plastic) or through the consumption of fruits and vegetables. … Phenylacetic acid is used in some perfumes, possessing a honey-like odour in low concentrations, and is also used in penicillin G production. PAG is a putative biomarker of phospholipidosis.
