Definitions
- This invention relates to an amino acid and its uses. This invention further relates to compositions and methods for treating humans and animals and the use of such an amino acid.
- Water is an essential molecule for sustaining life and an animal's ability to cope with changes in its internal water content is paramount for its survival.
- Osmosis usually occurs in a saline environment, such as sea water, or by extracellular freezing, or from diseases such as diabetes or hyperglycemia, causing osmotic imbalances.
- Taurine is a sulfur-based, non-protein amino acid and is known to act as an osmolyte in cases of dehydration. Taurine is also said to be cytoprotective by acting as an antioxidant, a calcium modulator, a synaptic neuromodulator and a membrane stabilizer. For this reason, it is known to include taurine in energy drinks for human consumption.
- L-proline has thus far not been recognized as an antioxidant or free radical scavenger.
- L-proline concentration increases when freshwater and brackish water animals are exposed to hyperosmotic stress. It is also known that L-profine is released from cells of Australian Abalone (Haliotis roei) to maintain cell volume at low saiinities. L-proline is therefore generally considered as an intracellular osmolyte of animal cells, but to date, most studies were focused on the intracellular production and secretion of L- proline in cases where the organism is placed under hyperosmotic stress.
- EP 1 514 554 A1 discloses a composition based on natural substances, useful in the maintenance of the correct skin hydration and in the prevention and/or the treatment of the effects of skin ageing, in particular wrinkles, characterized in that it comprises in combination ceramides in the form of extract of Oryza sativa; fish cartilage hydrolysate; and one or more amino acids selected from L-proline, L-!eusine 7 L-valine and L-cysteine.
- This composition comprises between 20 to 200 mg, preferably 40 mg per day of these amino acids.
- a disadvantage of this composition is that the levels of L- proline that are suggested are insufficient to elevate the concentration of cellular free L-proline to the extent that it restricts dehydration and reduction in free radical concentration in the user, when exposed to water and heat stress.
- a first aspect of the invention there is provided use of an effective amount of free L-proline in the preparation of a supplement for supplementing the concentration of free cellular L-proline in an organism, for restricting dehydration of such an organism.
- the supplement may be prepared by providing between 20 mg and 1000 mg free L-proiine per kilogram body mass of the organism to benefit from the use thereof, in an oral administration form.
- the supplement may be prepared by mixing 100 mg free L-proline per kilogram body mass of the organism to benefit from the use thereof, with a drink suitable for human consumption.
- an effective amount of free L-proline as a supplement for supplementing the concentration of free cellular L-proline in an organism, for restricting dehydration of such an organism.
- the supplement may comprise between 20 mg and 1000 mg free L-proftne per kilogram body mass of the organism to benefit from the use thereof, in an oral administration form.
- the supplement may comprise 100 mg free L-proline per kilogram body mass of the organism to benefit from the use thereof, mixed with a drink suitable for human consumption.
- a supplement for suppiement ⁇ ng the concentration of free cellular L-proline in an organism, for restricting dehydration of such an organism comprising an effective amount of free L-proline.
- the above supplement may be effective in reducing the levels of free radicals in organisms experiencing water stress.
- the effective amount of L-proline may comprise between 20 mg and 1000 mg free L-proline per kilogram body mass of the organism to benefit from the use thereof, in an oral administration.
- the effective amount of L-proiine may comprise 100 mg free L-proline per kilogram body mass of the organism to benefit from the use thereof, mixed with a drink suitable for human consumption.
- a method of treating dehydration in humans and animals including the step of administering to an individual in need thereof an effective amount of a supplement according to the third aspect of the invention
- the organism is a human and the free L-proline concentration is supplemented through oral administration of effective amounts of free L-proline to counter dehydration of such human. It will be appreciated that such supplementation would be particularly required and effective in cases where the human to whom the supplement is administered experience water stress owing to exercise, heat or lack of water intake, it will be appreciated further that the supplement would be effective in increasing free L-proline concentration and water levels in such a human, where the supplement is taken prophylacticaily.
- a method of supplementing the concentration of free cellular L-proline in an organism, for restricting dehydration of such an organism including the step of administering to such organism an effective amount of free L-proline.
- An effective amount of free L-proline may be between 20 mg and 1000 mg, preferably 100 mg free L-proline per kilogram body mass of the organism, three times a day.
- An effective amount of a suppfement according to a preferred embodiment of the invention for restricting dehydration and for reducing the cellular concentration of free radicals in humans was prepared by mixing 100 mg free L-proiine per kilogram body mass of the human with any conventional off-the-shelf energy or cold drink.
- the supplement was prepared by mixing 8 g of free L-proline with 500 ml energy drink.
- the supplement was taken orally by a adult male three times a day.
- the supplement according to the invention could find wide application in the field of preventing and treating dehydration in humans and animals such as the use in the prevention of dehydration in extreme athletes; the use as supplement to hydration drips in human patients (including pediatric appiication); the use to enhance feeds for ornamental fish prior to international shipment; and the use enhancing feeds of sheep, cattle, poultry, fish and other animals prior to slaughtering and freezing.
