Alanylglutamine Composition for Vision Performance During Exercise
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Vision performance, particularly peripheral vision and visual reaction time, declines during physical exertion, and existing compositions do not effectively enhance these aspects.
Innovation Solution
A composition containing alanylglutamine or its salt as an active ingredient, administered through various pharmaceutical preparations, including oral and parenteral forms, to improve vision performance by enhancing peripheral vision and visual reaction time during exercise.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If glutamine is used as a nutritional supplement, then it can supply glutamine for physiological functions, but it has low solubility and poor stability in aqueous solutions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines glutamine with alanine to form alanylglutamine, a dipeptide composite material. This composite structure improves both solubility and stability in aqueous solutions compared to free glutamine, while still providing glutamine for physiological functions after degradation in the body.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the chemical form of glutamine from a free amino acid to a dipeptide compound (alanylglutamine). This parameter change in molecular structure fundamentally improves the solubility and stability characteristics while maintaining the biological functionality of glutamine.
2Stability of the object's composition
If alanylglutamine is used instead of glutamine, then solubility and stability are improved, but there is no known action to enhance vision performance
Solution Approach 1:
The patent discovers that alanylglutamine naturally degrades into alanine and glutamine in the body, and the glutamine released from this degradation serves the vision performance enhancement function. The compound essentially serves itself by breaking down into the active component needed for the desired effect.
Solution Approach 2:
Alanylglutamine acts as an intermediary compound that delivers glutamine to the body in a stable, soluble form. It mediates between the need for stable glutamine delivery and the biological requirement for glutamine to enhance vision performance during exercise.
3Quantity of substance
If existing nutritional compositions are used during exercise, then general nutritional needs are met, but vision performance particularly peripheral vision and visual reaction time declines
Solution Approach 1:
The patent administers alanylglutamine before exercise to preemptively maintain vision performance. The compound is taken in advance to ensure adequate glutamine levels are available during exercise, preventing the decline in visual reaction time and peripheral vision that would otherwise occur.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the nutritional approach from general amino acid supplementation to specifically using alanylglutamine, which provides stable glutamine delivery. This parameter change in the nutritional composition specifically addresses vision performance maintenance during exercise.
