Asparta is a source of potassium ions (K+) and magnesium (Mg2+), regulates metabolic processes, helps to restore electrolyte balance, has antiarrhythmic effect. Potassium is involved in carrying out pulses along the nerve fibers, and in synaptic transmission, implementing muscle contractions, maintaining normal cardiac activity. Violation of potassium metabolism leads to a change in the excitability of nerves and muscles. Active ion transport maintains a high K gradient+ through the plasma membrane.In small doses of K+ expands coronary arteries, in large - narrows. Has a negative, chrono- and batmotropic effect, in high doses - a negative foreign and dromotropic, as well as a moderate diuretic effect.
Mg2+ is a cofactor of 300 enzyme reactions. An irreplaceable element in processes that ensure the receipt and consumption of energy. Participates in the balance of electrolytes, transport of ions, permeability of membranes, neuromuscular excitability. Included in the structure (pentose-phosphate) DNA, participates in the synthesis of RNA, the apparatus of heredity, cell growth, in the process of cell division. Limits and prevents excessive release of catecholamine during stress, lipolysis and release of free fatty acids are possible. It is a "physiological" blocker of slow calcium channels. Promotes penetration of K+ in the cells.
Aspartate promotes penetration of K+ and Mg2+ Intracellular space; stimulates the intercellular synthesis of phosphates.
