Potassium hydrogen DL-aspartate has being shown to inhibit cell damage and apoptosis induced by ouabain and H2O2. Principal neurotransmitter for fast synaptic excitation.
DL-Aspartic acid (DL-Asp) is a racemic mixture of the proteinogenic amino acid L-aspartate and the non-proteinogenic amino acid D-aspartate. DL-Aspartic acid is used in studies on factors and conditions that enhance semen and sperm quality. DL-Aspartic acid is used to develop and assess amino acid racemic resolution and racemic interconversion technologies. Principal neurotransmitter for fast synaptic excitation. It has being shown that DL-Aspartic acid (DL-Asp) administration improves sperm quality in bucks and the high D-Asp content in seminal plasma suggests a primary role for this D-amino acid in regulatory mechanisms of reproductive activity.

Sample Use Guides
Rabbit bucks: The treated group was fed with a concentrate containing DL-Aspartic acid (DL-Asp) which assured a daily administration of 1.3g dl-Asp/head
Route of Administration:
Oral
The cell survival rates following 48 h incubation in the Potassium hydrogen DL-aspartate (K-asp) (15 mM) and K-asp (25 mM) groups were higher compared with the KCl and MK801 groups. Nissl staining demonstrated that the severity of cell injury in the KCl and K-asp (25 mM) groups were alleviated. In the DAPI staining and transmission electron microscopy analyses, KCl and K-asp (25 mM) reduced the rate of ouabain-induced apoptosis. Flow cytometry revealed that K-asp (25 mM) reduced H2O2 -induced apoptosis. These results demonstrated that K-asp (25 mM) inhibited the ouabain and H2O2-induced SH-SY5Y cell damage and apoptosis, possibly by supplementing levels of intracellular K(+).
