Amino Acids (Anti Aging)


Organic compounds that generally contain an amino (-nh2) and a carboxyl (-cooh) group. Twenty alpha-amino acids are the subunits which are polymerised to form proteins.


Amino Acids (Anti-Aging)

These are the building blocks of protein. There are eight essential amino acids the body cannot make and, therefore, must be included in the foods you eat.


Amino Acids (Beauty)

Amino Acids are organic compounds (protein "building blocks") vitally essential to the body. They assist in body growth, maintenance and repair.

Amino Acids (Beer Brewing)

The building blocks from which proteins are made. Amino acids are essential nutrients, required by the yeast. All-malt worts will almost always contain enough amino acids, with no further assistance from the brewer.


Amino Acids (Biology)

The building blocks of proteins.

Amino Acids (Bodybuilding)

The building blocks necessary for repairing, growth, and recovery. Without total repair and recovery the body can not start to build muscles. During intense physical exercise, stress on muscle fibers can cause damage resulting in muscle fatigue, soreness, slow growth, and less strength.


Amino Acids (Cancer)

Organic compunds that form the building blocks of proteins.Out of 20 or more, 9 are considered essential , indispensible to life and growth that the body cannot make and must be supplied by diet. They are: threonine, leucine, isoleucine,valine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, and tryptophan. They are found in complete protein foods such as egg, milk,cheese, meats and fish. See complete protein.

Amino Acids (Dairy Production)

Nitrogen-containing compounds that are the building blocks of peptides and proteins.


Amino Acids (Diabetes)

Individual food units that combine to make Arteriosclerosis or Atherosclerosis: Thickening and rigidification of artery walls. .

Amino Acids (Diet)

Nine of these essential `building blocks of proteins’ cannot be manufactured by the body alone and so have to be provided though food intake. People following a Vegan diet should be aware that it is not possible to receive all necessary amino acids through consumption of vegetables alone. (See Proteins and Vegan Diet).

Amino Acids (Dieting)

Nine of these essential `building blocks of proteins’ cannot be manufactured by the body alone and so have to be provided though food intake. People following a Vegan diet should be aware that it is not possible to receive all necessary amino acids through consumption of vegetables alone. (See Proteins and Vegan Diet).

Amino Acids (Endocrinology)

The building blocks of proteins that determine their shape and function.


Amino Acids (Fitness)

The “building blocks of life” amino acids are subunits that join together to form protein. There are 20 amino acids that come from food and other amino acids that are produced in the body. Amino acids not produced in the body are known as essential amino acids, while amino acids produced in the body are known as non-essential amino acids.

Amino Acids (Food)

Ino acids function as the building blocks of proteins. emically, amino acids are organic compounds containing an amino (NH2) group and a carboxyl (COOH) group. ino acids are classified as essential, nonessential and conditionally essential. body synthesis is inadequate to meet metabolic need, an amino acid is classified as essential and must be supplied as part of the diet. sential amino acids include leucine, isoleucine, valine, tryptophan, phenylalanine, methionine, threonine, lysine, histidine and possibly arginine. nessential amino acids can be synthesized by the body in adequate amounts, and include alanine, aspartic acid, asparagine, glutamic acid, glutamine, glycine, proline and serine. nditionally essential amino acids become essential under certain clinical conditions.

Amino Acids (Food and Health)

Amino acids function as the building blocks of proteins. Chemically, amino acids are organic compounds containing an amino (NH2) group and a carboxyl (COOH) group. Amino acids are classified as essential, nonessential and conditionally essential. If body synthesis is inadequate to meet metabolic need, an amino acid is classified as essential and must be supplied as part of the diet. Essential amino acids include leucine, isoleucine, valine, tryptophan, phenylalanine, methionine, threonine, lysine, histidine and possibly arginine. Nonessential amino acids can be synthesized by the body in adequate amounts, and include alanine, aspartic acid, asparagine, glutamic acid, glutamine, glycine, proline and serine. Conditionally essential amino acids become essential under certain clinical conditions.


Amino Acids (Genetics)

There are 20 different amino acids, which are often called the "building blocks" of proteins. Amino acids link together in long chains to form proteins in the body.


See more Genetics Terms ...

Amino Acids (Genetics and Genealogy)

A group of 20 different kinds of small molecules made of three bases formed from triplet base combinations of the bases of A, T, C, and G, such as CAG which codes for the amino acid named Glycine. The various triplet base combinations are then linked together in long chains to form proteins. Amino acids are often referred to as the “building blocks” of proteins. See Base and Protein.


Amino Acids (Health)

Key components in all living organisms from which proteins are made. There are 20 common amino acids.


See more Health Terms ...

Amino Acids (Health and Beauty)

Amino Acids are organic compounds (protein "building blocks") vitally essential to the body. They assist in body growth, maintenance and repair.


Amino Acids (Hepatitis C)

Any organic acid containing one or more amino groups (NH2) and a carboxyl group (CO2H); forming the essential components of proteins.


Amino Acids (Hormone Replacement Therapy)

These are the building blocks of protein. There are eight essential amino acids the body cannot make and, therefore, must be included in the foods you eat.


Amino Acids (Horse Health)

Nitrogen-containing molecules that form the structural backbone of proteins. All amino acids contain both an amino group (NH2) and a carboxyl group (COOH).


Amino Acids (Multiple Sclerosis)

Building blocks of which proteins are constructed. End product of protein digestion. Some must be supplied by diet. Complete proteins are foods that provide the balance of essential amino acids.


Amino Acids (Nutrition)

Any of the twenty-two nitrogen-containing organic acids from which proteins are made. There are twenty-two known amino acids, but only nine are indispensable nutrients for men.


Amino Acids (Science)

Essential nutrients used by living cells to synthesize proteins; the building blocks of protein. These acids link together in various combinations to form chains

Amino Acids (Spa)

These are the body’s protein building blocks. There are 22 amino acids, 8 of which cannot be made by the body but need to be replaced in one’s diet. These are known as the essential amino acids because of their necessity in maintaining life. A 9th amino acid, histidine, is known to be required only in children. They are commonly used as emollients and moisturizers in many skin products, and are thought to help the basic products penetrate the skin.

Amino Acids (Supplements)

Chemical molecules which combine to form the various proteins. There are 22 common amino acids. The human body can synthesize (manufacture) 14 of them. The other 8 must come from the diet and are therefore called essential.


Amino Acids (Vitamins)

Extremely small molecules that join with each other to construct complex proteins.


See more Vitamins Terms ...

Amino Acids (Weight Loss)

The building blocks of proteins, nine of which cannot be manufactured by the body and therefore have to be obtained through food intake. This is especially important for Vegans (see lower) because no vegetable contains all of the "essential amino acids"!
