L-Tyrosine Alpha-Ketoglutarate is a compound that combines L-Tyrosine, an essential amino acid, with Alpha-Ketoglutarate (AKG), a significant intermediate in the Krebs cycle. L-Tyrosine is a precursor to several neurotransmitters, including dopamine, and plays a crucial role in brain function and mood regulation . AKG, on the other hand, is involved in various metabolic processes and has been studied for its potential health benefits, such as its role in maintaining nitrogen balance, serving as an energy source for cells, and functioning as an antioxidant .
AKG is also known to stimulate protein synthesis and inhibit protein degradation in muscles, making it a central metabolic fuel for cells of the gastrointestinal tract . It can decrease protein catabolism and increase protein synthesis, which may enhance bone tissue formation in skeletal muscles and be used in clinical applications . Furthermore, AKG has been suggested as a longevity supplement, with some research indicating it could increase lifespan and delay the onset of age-related diseases in certain organisms .
In sports nutrition, AKG has been used as a supplement to improve muscle protein synthesis and decrease muscle breakdown, potentially improving athletic performance and body composition . It is also used in recovery from surgery or trauma due to its role as a precursor to the amino acid glutamine, which is important for recovery processes .
