[6] [7] [8] [1] [9] In mice, high levels of Lac-Phe in the blood cause a decrease of food intake [6] and in humans, its production has been shown to correlate with adipose tissue loss during an endurance exercise intervention. [10] In mammals it is created from -lactate and L-phenylalanine by the cytosol nonspecific dipeptidase (CNDP2) protein. [1]
Ochratoxin A can cause immunosuppression and immunotoxicity in animals. The toxin's immunosuppressant activity in animals may include depressed antibody responses, reduced size of immune organs (such as the thymus , spleen , and lymph nodes ), changes in immune cell number and function, and altered cytokine production.
Phenylalanine (symbol Phe or F) [3] is an essential α-amino acid with the formula C 9 H 11 NO 2. It can be viewed as a benzyl group substituted for the methyl group of alanine, or a phenyl group in place of a terminal hydrogen of alanine.
Like aspartame, this means there is either limited evidence they can cause cancer in humans, sufficient evidence in animals, or strong evidence about the characteristics.
The IARC said in a release Thursday that it was classifying aspartame as possibly carcinogenic, meaning there is some evidence that it may cause cancer in humans, but that the evidence is far from ...
Because the IARC only put aspartame in the “possibly” causes cancer category, and because “there are currently no studies that show that aspartame causes cancer in humans,” says Messer ...
Standard phenylalanine concentrations in unaffected persons are about 2-6mg/dl (120–360 μmol/L) phenylalanine concentrations in those with untreated hyperphenylalaninemia can be up to 20 mg/dL (1200 μmol/L). Measurable IQ deficits are often detected as phenylalanine levels approach 10 mg/dL (600 mol/L).
The chemical, which is the active ingredient in the weed killer Roundup, can allegedly cause cancer. The oat products tested were made by General Mills, including several Cheerios varieties and ...
