| | , 72% of Americans have tried to get rid of weight at least once. However, several people who try to lose weight fail. Why is that? Perhaps advertising got inside the technique. Though there are programs which promote healthy fat reduction, a few of the aspects advertisers need you to believe can actually avoid healthy weight control. Here are 3 of the most prevalent lies advertisers desire we to believe.<br><br>Weight loss is a main problem for many of the individuals considering it causes wellness risks. So in the event you join CAL program, the issue could be solved easily and safely. During the course of the system, you are able to have unlimited access to the physician and health staff. You can visit weight reduction clinics where the doctor could guide you at each step precisely. You are able to get to learn which the rate of weight loss change in the body in an ongoing basis. Your weekly follow-up to the clinic will provide you accurate information regarding a progress. The doctor will guide we proper exercises or if you want to have quick weight reduction, then the doctor may guide we thus by providing you with certain medicines.<br><br>So a person may be 'skinny' (translation - not weigh a lot on a scale) however have really small muscle mass and more fat than someone whom is greater however, has more muscle plus less fat. For this reason using your BMI alone to calculate the weight is not a valid option. A man whom is 610" and weighs 270 pounds is considered obese by BMI guidelines. However, the calculation does not consider how much muscle the man has (think WW wrestlers or professional football players). The BMI is helpful only when utilized in the full context of height, fat, fat mass, plus muscle.<br><br>So What Does All This Mean To We? Set a fat loss goals inside line with the BMI (Body Mass Index) plus a BP (Body Fat Percentage) to do optimum health. Your BMI determines a ideal healthy weight for a height. The CDC (Center for Disease Control & Prevention) has an effortless [http://safedietplans.com/bmi-calculator bmi calculator females] for adults plus children at .<br><br>> 905-409-8031 or bodyconcepts1@uniserve.com Would we like a Professional Personal Trainer Specialist? - If thus I am providing we my Personal Training services for regarding half cost. Instead of $68 per session you pay just $39 per session, for Toronto & GTA's #1 Personal Trainer services! - For a Limited time.<br><br>Anyone that is fat shoe surely find them selves a superior doctor to discuss their weight plus total health with. Sometimes an disease will put your hormones from whack plus cause you to gain weight. Or possibly a medication is preventing you from losing the fat or cause fatigue so we will exercise. In any case, be sure to discuss this with the doctor and left them know a plans. They can be able to offer assistance or they can should adjust medication and etc.<br><br>My conclusion is that the BMI is form of a fun tool to utilize, everybody knows about it plus everybody wants to calculate their number plus it may make we feel pretty wise or it may create you mad. But the BMI is NOT an exact measuring to determine if I'm fat or not! Thank you, pass the ice cream please. I'll function it off tomorrow! |

| '''Glycine''' (abbreviated as '''Gly''' or '''G''')<ref>{{IUPAC-IUB amino acids 1983}}.</ref> is an [[organic compound]] with the [[chemical formula|formula]] NH<sub>2</sub>CH<sub>2</sub>COOH. Having a [[hydrogen]] substituent as its [[side-chain]], glycine is the smallest of the 20 [[amino acid]]s commonly found in [[protein]]s. Its [[codon]]s are GGU, GGC, GGA, GGG of the [[genetic code]].
| |
| | |
| Glycine is a colourless, sweet-tasting crystalline solid. It is unique among the [[proteinogenic amino acid]]s in that it is not [[chirality (chemistry)|chiral]]. It can fit into [[Hydrophile|hydrophilic]] or [[Hydrophobe|hydrophobic]] environments, due to its minimal side chain of only one hydrogen atom.
| |
| | |
| ==Production==
| |
| Glycine was discovered in 1820, by [[Henri Braconnot]] who boiled a [[gelatinous]] object with [[sulfuric acid]].<ref>{{cite book |author= R.H.A. Plimmer |editor= R.H.A. Plimmer & F.G.

| | |
| There are two producers of glycine in the United States: Chattem Chemicals, Inc., a subsidiary of [[Mumbai, India | Mumbai]]-based [[Sun Pharmaceutical]], and GEO Specialty Chemicals, Inc., which purchased the glycine and [[Naphthalenesulfonate|naphthalene sulfonate]] production facilities of Hampshire Chemical Corp, a subsidiary of [[Dow Chemical]].<ref name="usitc.gov"/><ref>U.S. International Trade Commission, "Glycine From China." Investigation No. 731-TA-718 (Second Review), Publication No. 3810, October 2005</ref>
| |
| | |
| Chattem's manufacturing process ("MCA" process) occurs in batches and results in a finished product with some residual chloride but no sulfate, while GEO’s manufacturing process is considered a semi-batch process and results in a finished product with some residual sulfate but no chloride.

| In aqueous solution glycine itself is [[amphoteric]]: at low pH the molecule can be protonated with a pK<sub>a</sub> of about 9.6 and at high pH it loses a proton with a pK<sub>a</sub> of about 2.4 (precise values of pK<sub>a</sub> depend on temperature and ionic strength). The nature of glycine in aqueous solution has been investigated by theoretical methods.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Bonaccorsi |first1=R. |last2=Palla |first2=P. |last3=Tomasi |first3=J.|year=1984 |title=Conformational energy of glycine in aqueous solutions and relative stability of the zwitterionic and neutral forms.

| |
| ==Biosynthesis==
| |
| Glycine is not essential to the human diet, as it is biosynthesized in the body from the amino acid [[serine]], which is in turn derived from [[3-phosphoglycerate]]. In most organisms, the enzyme [[Serine hydroxymethyltransferase]] catalyses this transformation via the cofactor [[pyridoxal phosphate]]:<ref name="Lehninger"/>
| |
| : serine + [[tetrahydrofolate]] → glycine + ''N<sup>5</sup>'',''N<sup>10</sup>''-Methylene tetrahydrofolate + H<sub>2</sub>O
| |
| | |
| In the liver of [[vertebrate]]s, glycine synthesis is catalyzed by [[glycine synthase]] (also called glycine cleavage enzyme). This conversion is readily reversible:<ref name="Lehninger"/>
| |
| : CO<sub>2</sub> + NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup> + ''N<sup>5</sup>'',''N<sup>10</sup>''-Methylene tetrahydrofolate + NADH + H<sup>+</sup> → Glycine + tetrahydrofolate + NAD<sup>+</sup>
| |
| | |
| Glycine is coded by [[codons]] GGU, GGC, GGA and GGG. Most proteins incorporate only small quantities of glycine. A notable exception is [[collagen]], which contains about 35% glycine.<ref name="Lehninger">{{Lehninger4th|pages=127, 675–77, 844, 854}}</ref><ref name="SzpakJAS">{{Cite journal |last=Szpak |first=Paul |title=Fish bone chemistry and ultrastructure: implications for taphonomy and stable isotope analysis | url=http://uwo.academia.edu/PaulSzpak/Papers/827788/Fish_Bone_Chemistry_and_Ultrastructure_Implications_for_Taphonomy_and_Stable_Isotope_Analysis |journal=[[Journal of Archaeological Science (journal)|Journal of Archaeological Science]] |year=2011 |volume=38 |issue=12 |pages=3358–3372 |doi=10.1016/j.jas.2011.07.022 }}</ref>
| |
| | |
| ==Degradation==
| |
| Glycine is degraded via three pathways. The predominant pathway in animals and plants involves the [[glycine cleavage enzyme]]<ref name="Lehninger"/>
| |
| : Glycine + tetrahydrofolate + NAD<sup>+</sup> → CO<sub>2</sub> + NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup> + ''N<sup>5</sup>'',''N<sup>10</sup>''-Methylene tetrahydrofolate + [[NADH]] + H<sup>+</sup>
| |
| | |
| In the second pathway, glycine is degraded in two steps. The first step is the reverse of glycine biosynthesis from serine with serine hydroxymethyl transferase. Serine is then converted to [[pyruvate]] by [[serine dehydratase]].<ref name="Lehninger"/>
| |
| | |
| In the third pathway of glycine degradation, glycine is converted to [[glyoxylate]] by [[D-amino acid oxidase]]. Glyoxylate is then oxidized by hepatic [[lactate dehydrogenase]] to [[oxalate]] in an NAD<sup>+</sup>-dependent reaction.<ref name="Lehninger"/>
| |
| | |
| The half-life of glycine and its elimination from the body varies significantly based on dose. In one study, the half-life was between 0.5 and 4.0 hours.

| | |
| ==Physiological function==
| |
| The principal function of glycine is as a precursor to proteins, such as its periodically repeated role in the formation of [[Collagen]] helix in conjunction with [[Hydroxyproline]]. It is also a building block to numerous natural products. | |
| | |
| ===As a biosynthetic intermediate===
| |
| In higher [[eukaryotes]], [[D-Aminolevulinic acid]], the key precursor to [[porphyrins]], is biosynthesized from glycine and [[succinyl-CoA]]. Glycine provides the central C<sub>2</sub>N subunit of all [[purine]]s.<ref name="Lehninger"/>
| |
| | |
| ===As a neurotransmitter===
| |
| Glycine is an inhibitory [[neurotransmitter]] in the [[central nervous system]], especially in the [[spinal cord]], brainstem, and retina. When [[glycine receptors]] are activated, [[chloride]] enters the neuron via ionotropic receptors, causing an [[Inhibitory postsynaptic potential]] (IPSP). [[Strychnine]] is a strong antagonist at ionotropic glycine receptors, whereas [[bicuculline]] is a weak one. Glycine is a required [[co-agonist]] along with [[glutamate]] for [[NMDA receptor]]s. In contrast to the inhibitory role of glycine in the spinal cord, this behaviour is facilitated at the ([[NMDA]]) glutaminergic receptors which are excitatory.<ref> {{cite web |url=http://www.cmj.org/Periodical/paperlist.asp?id=LW7347&linkintype=pubmed |title=Recent development in NMDA receptors |year=2000 |publisher=Chinese Medical Journal}}</ref> The {{LD50}} of glycine is 7930 mg/kg in rats (oral),<ref>{{cite web |url=http://physchem.ox.ac.uk/MSDS/GL/glycine.html |title=Safety (MSDS) data for glycine |year=2005 |publisher= The Physical and Theoretical Chemistry Laboratory Oxford University |accessdate=2006-11-01}}</ref> and it usually causes death by hyperexcitability.
| |
| | |
| There is some evidence showing that 3000 milligrams of glycine before bedtime improves sleep quality.<ref>{{Cite journal|author=Yamadera W, Inagawa K, Chiba S, Bannai M, Takahashi M, Nakayama K |title=Glycine ingestion improves subjective sleep quality in human volunteers, correlating with polysomnographic changes |journal=Sleep and Biological rhythms |volume=5 |issue=2 |pages=126–131 |year=2007 |doi=10.1111/j.1479-8425.2007.00262.x}}</ref>{{Primary source-inline|date=December 2012}}
| |
| Glycine has also been positively tested as an add-on treatment for schizophrenia. <ref>{{Cite journal|author=Coyle JT, G Tsai |title=The NMDA receptor glycine modulatory site: a therapeutic target for improving cognition and reducing negative symptoms in schizophrenia |journal=Psychopharmacology |volume=174 |pages=32-28 |year=2004}}</ref>
| |
| | |
| ==Uses==
| |
| In the US, glycine is typically sold in two grades: [[United States Pharmacopeia]] (“USP”), and technical grade. Most glycine is manufactured as USP grade material for diverse uses. USP grade sales account for approximately 80 to 85 percent of the U.S. market for glycine.
| |
| * Pharmaceutical grade glycine is produced for some pharmaceutical applications, such as intravenous injections, where the customer’s purity requirements often exceed the minimum required under the USP grade designation. Pharmaceutical grade glycine is often produced to proprietary specifications and is typically sold at a premium over USP grade glycine.
| |
| * Technical grade glycine, which may or may not meet USP grade standards, is sold for use in industrial applications; e.g., as an agent in metal complexing and finishing. Technical grade glycine is typically sold at a discount to USP grade glycine.<ref>http://www.usitc.gov/publications/701_731/pub3980.pdf</ref>
| |
| | |
| ===Animal and human foods===
| |
| Other markets for USP grade glycine include its use an additive in [[pet food]] and [[compound feed|animal feed]]. For humans, glycine is sold as a sweetener/taste enhancer. Certain food supplements and protein drinks contain glycine.<ref name="geosc1">[http://www.geosc.com/constructionandindustrial/Miscellaneous/GEO%20Glycine%20Brochure.pdf ]{{dead link|date=November 2013}}</ref> Certain drug formulations include glycine to improve gastric absorption of the drug.<ref name="geosc1"/>
| |
| | |
| ===Cosmetics and miscellaneous applications===
| |
| Glycine serves as a [[buffering agent]] in [[antacids]], [[analgesics]], [[antiperspirants]], cosmetics, and toiletries.
| |
| | |
| Many miscellaneous products use glycine or its derivatives, such as the production of rubber sponge products, fertilizers, metal complexants.<ref name=72FR62827>"Notice of Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Glycine From India" Federal Register 72 (7 November 2007): 62827.</ref>
| |
| | |
| ===Chemical feedstock===
| |
| Glycine is an intermediate in the synthesis of a variety of chemical products. It is used in the manufacture of the herbicide [[glyphosate]]. Glyphosate is a non-selective systemic herbicide used to kill weeds, especially perennials and broadcast or used in the cut-stump treatment as a forestry herbicide.
| |
| | |
| ===Research and Development===
| |
| Glycine is a significant component of some solutions used in the [[Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis|SDS-PAGE]] method of protein analysis.
| |
| It serves as a buffering agent, maintaining pH and preventing sample damage during electrophoresis.
| |
| Glycine is also used to remove protein-labelling antibodies from [[Western Blot]] membranes to enable the probing of numerous proteins of interest from SDS-PAGE gel. This allows more data to be drawn from the same specimen, increasing the reliability of the data, reducing the amount of sample processing, and number of samples required. This process is known as 'stripping'.
