Amino Acids Regulate Glycolipid Metabolism and Alter Intestinal Microbial Composition.. Curr Protein Pept Sci. 2020 Feb 18;: Authors: Xie F, Liu Z, Liu M, Chen L, Ding W, Zhang H Abstract Amino acids (AAs) and their metabolites regulate key metabolic pathways that are necessary for growth, reproduction, and immunity, metabolism of the body. It has been convinced that metabolic diseases are closely related to disorders of glycolipid metabolism. A growing number of studies have shown that AAs are closely related to energy metabolism. This review focuses on the effects of amino acids (arginine, branched-chain amino acids, glutamine) and their metabolites (short chain fatty acids) on glycolipid metabolism by regulating PI3K/AKT/mTOR and AMPK signaling pathways and GPCRs receptors, reducing intestinal Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio associated with obesity.
