cardiovascular activity, body thermoregulation. Mediators include acetylcholine, glutamic and aspartic acids, glycine, GABA, histamine, serotonin, norepinephrine. Thus, the above information shows how large the role amino acids play in the synthesis of the most important physiologically active compounds in the body and in providing certain properties of food raw materials and products. A generalized outline of this material is presented below: Almost all a-amino acids coming from the human digestive tract to the bloodstream of the body undergo a scries of general transformations, the purpose of which is to provide plastic material for the synthesis of proteins and peptides in breathing with the formation of ATP (Fig. 2.1).
