I-Alpha-Hydroxy-Isocaproic Acid (HICA)

I-HICA ingenye yamakhemikhali amaningana, avela ngokwemvelo, asebenzayo, aphilayo, atholakala emzimbeni, okuthi uma enikezwa njengesengezo, athuthukise kakhulu ukusebenza komuntu -- i-creatine ingenye isibonelo esinjalo.
I-HICA isifinyezo se-alpha-hydroxy-isocaproic acid. Ibizwa nangokuthi i-leucic acid noma i-DL-2-hydroxy-4-methylvaleric acid. Uma ubeka eceleni i-nerd-speak, i-HICA igama elilula kakhulu ukulikhumbula, futhi empeleni ingenye yezithako ezi-5 ezibalulekile kumkhiqizo wethu we-MPO (Muscle Performance Optimizer).
Manje, lokhu kungase kubonakale sengathi kuyinto exakile kodwa hlala nami umzuzwana. I-amino acid leucine ivuselela i-mTOR futhi ibalulekile ekuvuseleleni ukwakheka kwamaprotheni emisipha, okuyisihluthulelo sokwakha imisipha noma ukuvimbela ukuwohloka kwemisipha. Kungenzeka ukuthi wake wezwa nge-leucine ngaphambili ngoba kokubili iyi-BCAA (branched-chain amino acid) kanye ne-EAA (essential amino acid).
Umzimba wakho ukhiqiza i-HICA ngokwemvelo ngesikhathi sokusebenza kwe-leucine. Imisipha nezicubu ezixhumeneyo zisebenzisa futhi zigaye i-leucine ngenye yezindlela ezimbili ezahlukene ze-biochemical.
Indlela yokuqala, indlela ye-KIC, ithatha i-leucine bese idala i-KIC, okuyindlela ephakathi, kamuva eguqulwa ibe yi-HICA. Enye indlela ithatha i-leucine etholakalayo bese idala i-HMB (β-Hydroxy β-methylbutyric acid). Ngakho-ke, ososayensi babiza i-HICA, kanye nomzala wayo owaziwa kakhulu i-HMB, ngokuthi ama-leucine metabolites.
Ososayensi babheka i-HICA njenge-anabolic, okusho ukuthi ithuthukisa ukwakheka kwamaprotheni emisipha. Ingakwenza lokhu ngezindlela ezahlukahlukene, kodwa izifundo zibonisa ukuthi i-HICA iyi-anabolic ngoba isekela ukusebenza kwe-mTOR.
I-HICA nayo itshalwe ukuthi inezakhiwo zokulwa nokwakheka kwama-catabolic, okusho ukuthi iyasiza ekuvimbeleni ukuwohloka kwamaprotheni emisipha atholakala ezicutshini zemisipha.
Njengoba uzivocavoca kakhulu, imisipha yakho ibhekana nokulimala okuncane okubangela ukuba amangqamuzana emisipha aqhekeke. Sonke sizwa imiphumela yalokhu kuhlukumezeka okuncane emahoreni angu-24-48 ngemva kokuzivocavoca okukhulu ngendlela yokuba buhlungu kwemisipha okulibazisekile (DOMS). I-HICA inciphisa kakhulu lokhu kuqhekeka noma ukuqhekeka kwemisipha. Umphumela walokhu uba yi-DOMS encane, kanye nemisipha eminingi ethambile yokwakha phezu kwayo.
Ngakho-ke, njengesengezo, izifundo zibonisa ukuthi i-HICA ibangela ukukhubazeka kwemisipha. Kunoma ubani ofuna ukuthuthukisa ukusebenza kwakhe kwezemidlalo, kufanele asebenzise izithasiselo isayensi ezifakazela ukuthi zibangela ukukhubazeka kwemisipha.
