Riboflavin deficiency increases the free amino acid nitrogen concentrations in the liver, muscle and plasma!
There's an interesting piece of information that I found on the internet about riboflavin deficiency, stating that rats that were deficient in riboflavin had higher concentrations of nitrogen in the liver, muscle and plasma. Now I'm not a scientist and I'm not sure I'm fully understanding what I'm reading but from the sounds of it, it seems like riboflavin deficiency has some sort of affect on free amino acid levels in the body.
Here's the link to the article: resources.metapress.com/pdf-preview.axd?code=w2qlw24m5600vu46&size=largest
They also showed a link between the adrenal hormone cortisone in the production of free amino nitrogen levels in the body as well.
Is this why riboflavin works for some TMAU and body odor sufferers? Perhaps a riboflavin deficiency has affects on more amino acids instead of nitrogen? I don't know but I searched HIGH and LOW for this information, and I think this makes a lot of sense!
Remember that Trimethylamine is a nitrogenous base as well. I don't know if this means anything but it sure makes a lot of sense to me. In the article it goes into detail stating "in riboflavin deficiency, the oxidative enzyme system is affected by the decreased concentration of FLAVIN ENZYMES. Therefore, the oxidation of amino acid is expected to be decreased. This may result in an increased free amino acid pool in the liver."
Now, us women know that around that time of the month our symptoms get WORSE! And on the internet I read that riboflavin inhibitors (things that stops it from functioning well) are: light, alkali, estrogen, alcohol, and fats.
When our menstrual cycles get ready to come I guess the hormone estrogen decreases the functionality of riboflavin resulting in TMAU episodes or body odor in general.
I don't know the whole meaning of all of this, maybe some of the scientists here can explain. But from what I'm understanding, I see it as a lot of us might have some sort of low absorbency rate of riboflavin, or we're just deficient for some reason in general!
All I can say is DON'T STOP with the riboflavin supplements! Keep it going for months or maybe even a year! Trimethylamine is an alkaline base, and I read that riboflavin inhibitors are alkali! I guess our bodies are too alkaline!
Remember I kept telling you guys that I had constantly LOW potassium levels, well I also read that prolonged low potassium levels can cause METABOLIC ALKALOSIS! Now, since trimethylamine needs an alkaline environment to survive maybe these are all factors combined together causing my body odor problem! I don't know guys, please let me know what you think! Please get back at me ASAP! There's still things these scientists don't know, and we can't wait on them! We have to find out for ourselves while we can!
Love ya, bye!
