    PUFA Are Carcinogenic, Dietary Glycine Blocks Their Effect

    I came upon this study by accident while I was researching glycine. While, it is always nice to see that even "mainstream" bastions of dietary PUFA are capable of publishing contrarian research the more important practical takeaway from the study is that while PUFA may be unavoidable...

    Glycine Dosage

    Ray peat seems to like glycine. So i purchased some Now brand tmg and the recommended dosage is 3 grams once or twice a day. Does that seem OK? Will that amount interfere or unbalance ?

    Is glycine effective against elevated blood pressure?

    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16444815 PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Glycine, a non-essential amino acid, has been found to protect against oxidative stress in several pathological situations, and it is required for the biosynthesis of structural proteins such as elastin. As hypertension is a...

    Effect of dietary supplementation of glycine on caries development and lipids in rat molars.

    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1058885 The effect of dietary supplementation of glycine at a level of 4% on caries development and the lipid content of rat molar teeth was studied. The glycine supplementation caused a 65.7% reduction in caries development and a 15.1% reduction in lipid...

    The Metabolic Capacity For Glycine Biosynthesis Does Not Satisfy The Need For Collagen Synthesis

    A weak link in metabolism: the metabolic capacity for glycine biosynthesis does not satisfy the need for collagen synthesis. In a previous paper, we pointed out that the capability to synthesize glycine from serine is constrained by the stoichiometry of the glycine hydroxymethyltransferase...

    Aging In Human Mitochondria Fully Reversed By Glycine

    In the latest confirmation of Ray's views, this study demonstrates that mitochondrial aging (and maybe the entire cell) is NOT controlled by genetic factors and mutations but by epigenetics. I personally think the days of the fraudulent "Hayflick limit" are numbered. Since it is epigenetically...

    Dietary Glycine Supplementation Mimics Lifespan Extension By Dietary Methionine Restriction

    In support of Ray's statements that the benefits of caloric restriction may be due to the absence of specific toxic substances, this study shows that extra dietary glycine mimics lifespan extension by methionine restriction: http://www.fasebj.org/cgi/content/meeti ... acts/528.2 The amount of...

    Gelatin Vs Pure Glycine?

    After two weeks of going off Green can and doing only glycine, plus a couple of days ago going off the b. Infantis or Align probiotic that the GI prescribed, I THINK my stomach was doing better. Still inflated but the back pain went away. (Back pain had lessened with sleeping on floor but not...

    Negative effects of aspirin may be due to glycine depletion

    Some people have trouble taking aspirin even in small doses. Most often they get symptoms like tinnitus, GI discomfort, nervous system overexcitement, etc. It just happens that glycine (and also taurine) happen to help with all of these symptoms. So, I did some digging and it looks like aspirin...

    Glycine Virtually Eliminates Adverse GI Effects Of Aspirin

    I posted a study earlier on co-administration of glycine improving the absorption of aspirin. It looks like it also prevents the negative GI symptoms of aspirin intake in some people. The ratio needed is 2:1 in favor of aspirin, which means that if you are taking 1g of aspirin, you need to take...

    Glycine Increases Aspirin Absorption

    Glycine is known to protect the gastric mucosa against any potential irritation by aspirin and other known irritants like alcohol and phosphoric acid. According to this study, glycine increases aspirin absorption 3-fold and as such people having issues with high doses aspirin can reduce their...

    Glycine - A "novel" Antiinflammatory Agent

    The study is a good review on the many good properties of glycine, but specifically its use for autoimmune and chronic inflammatory conditions. One of the new things that I learned from this study is that glycine acts as a calcium blocking agent, so it should be good for a variety of conditions...

    Glycine is anticatabolic

    The study was done in a cancer model, but it should apply to any situation characterised by a catabolic muscle state - i.e. overtraining, starvaton, shock, estrogen-dominance, etc. In addition, in this study glycine also inhibited tumor growth while citirulline (which is a metabolite of...

    Protein High In Glycine And/or Taurine May Prevent Obesity

    The study tried to prevent obesity in rodents fed a very fattening diet, so this should be helpful for people trying to lose weight. Both amino acids are in the list of Peat-approved, and one of the richest sources is apparently scallops. Since scallops is considered shellfish I guess it would...

    Glycine May Treat Schizophrenia

    Russian medicine considers glycine a brain drug and it is available by prescription there since the 1950s AFAIK. There has been considerable interest in the Western world lately about so-called glycine agonists for treatment of many psychiatric conditions including bipolar depression, dementia...
