Omega-3 fatty acids are essential polyunsaturated fats that play critical roles in human health, particularly in cardiovascular, neurological, and inflammatory processes. This paper explores the biochemical and physiological differences between three major omega-3 fatty acids: docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosapentaenoic acid (DPA). It also discusses additional omega-3 fatty acids, including alpha-linolenic […]
Glycine is a simple amino acid that plays a complex role in human physiology, particularly as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. This paper explores the mechanisms by which glycine modulates neural activity, focusing on its ability to counteract the overstimulation associated with excessive excitatory neurotransmission. The role of glycine in regulating glutamate […]
Sodium is a vital electrolyte that plays a crucial role in stress regulation, hydration, and metabolic health. However, traditional dietary recommendations have favored sodium restriction due to concerns about its impact on hypertension and cardiovascular disease. Recent evidence suggests that inadequate sodium intake may increase stress hormones, impair hydration, and disrupt metabolic processes. This paper […]
