More studies are needed to understand exactly how it works and which areas of health it benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-default\" id=\"production-of-sex-hormones\">1. Involved in the formation of sex hormones<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In studies, it turns out that the fundamental effect of DAA is its involvement in the formation of <strong>sex hormones.<\/strong> In fact, it is abundantly present in the very parts of the body where their <strong>production begins.<\/strong> First and foremost, it is the <strong>hypothalamus<\/strong> (the lower part of the midbrain). It is there that hormones are produced, which further promote the <strong>production<\/strong> of hormones in the pituitary gland (subcortical gland). These eventually spur the formation of <strong>male and female sex hormones<\/strong> (testosterone, oestrogen).<mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-orange-color\"> [7,8]<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If any piece of this puzzle were missing, sex hormone production would be disrupted. It is the DAA that is concentrated in each of these key sites, and so it seems to play an important role in the whole process. Researchers point out that taking DAA has been shown in studies to result in <strong>higher levels of these hormones.<\/strong> Thus, it could be essential for their formation and for fertility, muscle growth or egg maturation in women, which are due to sex hormones. <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-orange-color\">[7]<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-default\" id=\"testosterone\">2.

This is precisely because of its effect on the production of the male sex hormone testosterone. As we have already described above, studies show that DAA is an ingredient in those processes that lead to its formation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>DAA is involved in the release of <strong>gonadoliberin,<\/strong> which is a hormone in the hypothalamus that further leads to the production of <strong>luteinising hormone<\/strong> in the pituitary gland. The latter is then tasked with promoting the <strong>production of testosterone.<\/strong> In addition, however, it turns out that D-aspartic acid could also act in other ways, for example by binding directly to <strong>Leydig cells in the testes,<\/strong> where testosterone is produced. <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-orange-color\">[5,7]<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Scientists need to conduct more research to be more definitive on this topic.

Through synapses, <strong>information is transferred between individual neurons,<\/strong> making them very important functional parts of the nervous system. They are the ones that keep the nervous system running smoothly and connect it to the muscles, digestion or other parts of the body.
