Alanine (Plasma)

Optimal Result: 271.5 - 730 nmol/ML.

- In a review of 46 studies higher plasma alanine was a potential predictor of insulin resistance and diabetes.

- In a review of baseline urine markers and conventional metabolic assessments, with a 5-year follow up, elevated baseline urine alanine was found to correlate with elevated levels of A1C (effect size >.8) and insulin resistance, independent of weight.

- Plasma alanine and asparagine were reduced in B6 deficiencies in animal studies.

- Plasma alanine and glutamic acid both positively correlated with depression.

- Branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) are the primary nitrogen source for glutamine and alanine synthesis; BCAA are associated with metabolic disease.

- Blood alanine was lower in IBD compared to controls.
