Alpha-Ketoisocaproate Calcium
Name: Alpha-Ketoisocaproate Calcium
CAS: 51828-95-6
Feature:
Alpha-Ketoisocaproate Calcium is a useful research compound. Its molecular formula is C6H12CaO3 and its molecular weight is 172.24. Alpha-Ketoisocaproate Calcium’s purity is usually 95%. Alpha-Ketoisocaproate Calcium can be used as a phosphate binder alternative for patients on peritoneal dialysis, and can be used as a supplement for very low protein diets to maintain nutritional status of patients of chronic kidney disease until arteriovenous fistula made or training for peritoneal dialysis given. Alpha-Ketoisocaproate Calcium provides high purity of KIC, free from the foul odour. Alpha-Ketoisocaproate Calciumcan be widely applied in Nutritional supplement, nutrition enhancer, dietary supplements, heatlh food additives, pharmaceutical raw material industry etc.
Alpha-Ketoisocaproate Calcium has the following applications/functions:
1. Alpha-Ketoisocaproate Calcium is mainly used to Prevent and treat the protein metabolism disorders caused by chronic renal insufficiency.
2. Alpha-Ketoisocaproate Calcium can build muscle block, and can prevent muscle weakness. It removes ammonia from the body and reduces muscle fatigue with practice.
3. With moderate- and high-intensity exercise, factors such as total energy supply or local muscle fatigue may limit maximal anaerobic power through reduced force output in skeletal muscle. Theoretically, supplemental KIC may enhance exercise performance by 1) promoting total muscle energy supply, 2) attenuating NH3 accumulation, 3) and reducing exercise-induced muscle damage. Alpha-Ketoisocaproate Calcium administration is purported to spare glucose utilization by skeletal muscle, possibly by inhibiting glycogen deposition and/or the pyruvate dehydrogenase enzyme complex in skeletal muscle . Alpha-Ketoisocaproate Calcium is readily dehydrogenase to leucine, via leucine dehydrogenase and branched-chain amino acid transferase at the expense of NH3, in a variety of tissues, including skeletal muscle, which may ultimately decrease fatigue and preserve lean muscle force production during intense exercise .
4. Alpha-Ketoisocaproate Calcium can be applied in food&beverages.
5. Alpha-Ketoisocaproate Calcium can also be used as pesticides and pharmaceutical intermediates.
