Overview

Glutamic acid is a non-essential amino acid that plays critical roles in protein synthesis, cellular metabolism, and neurotransmission in living organisms. Research published in the International Journal of Amino Acids examines glutamic acid across diverse contexts, from food science to clinical medicine. Studies have investigated its presence and functional significance in food processing, including its contribution to the nutritional profile of dried tomato powder and its behavior during thermal treatment of cooked fruits. The journal has explored glutamic acid's relevance to metabolic disorders, particularly in diabetes mellitus type 2 where metabolomics approaches reveal altered amino acid profiles, and in liver disease pathogenesis and treatment where amino acids and their derivatives serve therapeutic functions. Additional research addresses glutamic acid in the context of neurological conditions, including autism spectrum disorder physiopathology and sickle cell disease management. The journal has also published work on amino acid analysis in pharmaceutical applications, such as pH-sensitive nanomedicine for gynecological cancers and physicochemical characterization of related compounds like folic acid. This breadth reflects glutamic acid's fundamental importance in nutrition, metabolism, and disease processes across multiple physiological systems.
