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](https://jb243.github.io/pages/70#:1.-,, -(lacticacidfermentation)
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
3. Type 3. Succinyl CoA → Heme
4. Type 4. Pyruvate-Alanine Cycle
⑴ To be updated later
