Glutamic acid
Explanation: Glutamic acid is one of the amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. It also acts as a chemical messenger in the brain, where it helps nerve cells communicate. Glutamic acid plays a role in learning, memory, and overall brain function. Human body can produce glutamic acid on its own, but it’s also found in foods like meat, fish, dairy, and vegetables.
Test purpose: This test is often part of a broader amino acid panel to assess metabolism, neurological function, and overall health.
- Evaluate neurological health: Abnormal levels can affect brain function and are linked to conditions like epilepsy, Alzheimer’s disease, or other nervous system conditions. Imbalances in glutamic acid have been linked to depression, anxiety, or schizophrenia.
- Assess amino acid metabolism: To check how the body processes amino acids.
