Alpha-Hydroxy-Isocaproic Acid (HICA)

HICA yana ɗaya daga cikin wasu sinadarai masu aiki da sinadarai da ake samu a jiki ta hanyar halitta, waɗanda idan aka samar da su a matsayin kari, suna ƙara yawan aikin ɗan adam -- creatine wani misali ne daban.
HICA kalma ce ta alpha-hydroxy-isocaproic acid. Ana kuma kiranta leucic acid ko DL-2-hydroxy-4-methylvaleric acid. Idan aka yi la'akari da kalmar nerd-speak, HICA kalma ce mai sauƙin tunawa, kuma a zahiri tana ɗaya daga cikin mahimman sinadarai guda 5 a cikin samfurin MPO (Muscle Performance Optimizer).
To, wannan na iya zama kamar wani abu mai ban mamaki amma ku tsaya tare da ni na ɗan lokaci. Amino acid leucine yana kunna mTOR kuma yana da mahimmanci don haɓaka haɗakar furotin tsoka, wanda shine mabuɗin ko dai gina tsoka ko hana karyewar tsoka. Wataƙila kun taɓa jin labarin leucine a da saboda duka BCAA ne (amino acid mai rassa) da kuma EAA (amino acid mai mahimmanci).
Jikinka yana samar da HICA ta halitta yayin da ake sarrafa leucine. Tsokoki da kyallen haɗin gwiwa suna amfani da kuma sarrafa leucine ta hanyar ɗaya daga cikin hanyoyi biyu daban-daban na sinadarai.
Hanya ta farko, wato hanyar KIC, tana ɗaukar leucine kuma tana ƙirƙirar KIC, wani matsakaici, wanda daga baya aka canza shi zuwa HICA. Wata hanyar kuma tana ɗaukar leucine da ake da shi kuma tana ƙirƙirar HMB (β-Hydroxy β-methylbutyric acid). Saboda haka, masana kimiyya suna kiran HICA, da kuma ɗan uwanta HMB da aka fi sani, da leucine metabolites.
Masana kimiyya suna ɗaukar HICA a matsayin anabolic, ma'ana yana haɓaka haɗakar furotin na tsoka. Yana iya yin hakan ta hanyoyi daban-daban, amma bincike ya nuna cewa HICA yana da anabolic saboda yana tallafawa kunna mTOR.
An kuma yi amfani da HICA don hana lalata sunadaran tsoka da ke cikin kyallen tsoka.
Yayin da kake motsa jiki sosai, tsokokinka suna fuskantar ƙananan rauni wanda ke sa ƙwayoyin tsoka su lalace. Duk muna jin tasirin wannan ƙaramin rauni awanni 24-48 bayan motsa jiki mai tsanani a cikin nau'in ciwon tsoka da aka jinkirta (DOMS). HICA yana rage wannan rugujewa ko ɓarkewar ƙwayoyin cuta sosai. Sakamakon wannan shine ƙarancin DOMS, kuma ƙarin tsokoki masu laushi da za a gina a kai.
Saboda haka, a matsayin kari, bincike ya nuna cewa HICA tana da illa ga lafiyar jiki. Ga duk wanda ke son inganta wasansa, ya kamata ya yi amfani da kari wanda kimiyya ta tabbatar da cewa yana da illa ga lafiyar jiki.
