Pharmacotherapeutic Group: Renal nutrition therapy.
Pharmacology: Mechanism of Action: In normal individuals, there is an increase in the plasma level of ketoanalogues, 10 minutes after oral ingestion. These levels reach values that are approximately 5 times higher than the initial level. Peak levels are reached within 20-80 min, and normal levels are reached again after 90 min. Gastrointestinal absorption is thus very rapid. In the plasma, a simultaneous increase in levels of the ketoanalogues and the corresponding amino acid show that transamination of the ketoanalogues is very rapid. Due to the natural pathways of disposal of α-ketonic acids in the organism, it is probable that exogenous intakes are very rapidly integrated into metabolic cycles. Ketoacids follow the same catabolic pathways as the classical amino acids.
