Sialic acid sialic acid is a derivative of 9-carbon monosaccharide. This is a kind of negatively charged ion that can make saliva produce a smooth feeling. It is not only the part of the brain that induces the invasion of the pathogen, but also has the function of "neurotransmitter" transmission.
Sialic acid (SA), known as "N-acetylneuraminic acid", is a naturally occurring carbohydrate. It was originally isolated from mucin of submandibular gland, hence its name. Sialic acid is usually present in the form of oligosaccharides, glycolipids or glycoproteins. Brain has the highest sialic acid content in human body. The content of sialic acid in cerebral gray matter is 15 times higher than that in liver, lung and other internal organs. The main food source of sialic acid is breast milk, which is also found in milk, eggs and cheese.
purpose
For tissue culture. Biochemical research.
In medicine, glycolipids containing sialic acid are called gangliosides, which play a very important role in the production and development of the brain and nervous system. At the same time, animal experimental studies show that the reduction of ganglioside level is related to early malnutrition and reduced learning ability, and sialic acid supplementation can improve the learning behavior of animals. Adequate sialic acid supply may be particularly important for the normal development of brain function in low birth weight children. After birth, sialic acid in breast milk is very important to ensure their normal development. The survey showed that the level of sialic acid in mothers decreased with time after delivery. Therefore, continuous intake of sufficient sialic acid during and after pregnancy can help maintain sialic acid levels in the body. Moreover, the content of sialic acid is also significantly correlated with the content of DHA, which indicates that it is very likely to be related to the development of brain structure and brain function of infants, and both may be beneficial to early brain development.
