1. Type 1. α-Ketoglutaric acid → Glutamic acid
2. Type 2. Glutamic acid + NH3 → Glutamine
3. Type 3. Succinyl CoA → Heme
4. Type 4. Pyruvate-Alanine Cycle
1. Type 1. α-Ketoglutaric acid → Glutamic acid
⑴ To remove ammonia, the reaction of α-ketoglutaric acid → glutamic acid is used.
2. Type 2. Glutamic acid + NH3 → Glutamine
⑴ Glutamate is converted to glutamine with the help of glutamine synthetase and ATP.
⑵ Glutamate + NH4+ ⇄ Glutamine, K = 2.0 × 10-3
⑶ Tomato and Fatigue Recovery
① Over 50% of tomatoes is glutamate.
② Glutamate converts pyruvate to alanine, which leads to less lactic acid production: Related to lactic acid fermentation.
③ Pyruvate is produced from the glycolysis process of glucose.
④ Lactic acid is a cause of fatigue: Related to the lactic acid hypothesis.
⑤ Conclusion 1. Tomatoes can reduce calories in the body.
⑥ Conclusion 2. Consuming tomatoes reduces fatigue.
