c'est p-ê aussi que la compréhension de ce fonctionnement est encore incomplète.
en cherchant là dessus au niveau des enfants on tombe principalement sur le trouble du déficit d'attention, j'ai trouvé cette page intéressante :
http://adhdhomeopath.com/tag/gaba/dont le descriptif de ce qui est utile : tant le gaba que la glutamine ont leur part (avec d'autres choses évidemment) :
GABA (Gama amino butyric acid) the calming amino acid
GABA is a non-essential amino acid that works similarly to tranquilizers, easing the feeling of anxiety and creating a feeling of calm. It is a sleep inducer and can help improve the quality of sleep. GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter; when there is adequate GABA present in the central nervous system it inhibits the firing of anxiety-related messages. There is a GABA receptor in every cell in the body, making it especially efficacious. A large percentage of children diagnosed with ADHD experience regular anxiety, stress and depression, symptoms that can respond well to GABA. GABA also increases the level of human growth hormone in the body, worth noting given the commonality of growth retardation in children with ADHD.
For ADHD, GABA should be taken three times daily on an empty stomach. Doses for children vary, depending on weight and reaction to the supplement. Generally doses are given in the range of 100- 250 mg three times daily. A single higher dose of 250 mg of GABA can be taken before bed if it is being used only for insomnia. GABA comes in a variety of forms, including a sub-lingual tablet.
L-Glutamine — the memory and concentration amino acid
Glutamine, the memory and concentration amino acid, along with GABA and glycine form the backbone of a supplementary combination amino acid approach to ADHD. Glutamine is the third most abundant amino acid in the body. It is readily available in most animal proteins. Beans have a high protein content which make them a good vegetarian source of glutamine. Glutamine provides an alternative source of energy for the brain when blood sugar levels are low. Glutamine is a precursor of GABA, and like GABA, functions as an inhibitory neurotransmitter, helping with mood stability, concentration, memory, and learning.
Low levels of glutamine are often found in children with ADHD who are tested for amino acids. Supplementation with this amino acid can provide marked improvements in children with ADHD, particularly in those with learning difficulties or intellectual impairments (usually in combination with Gingko Biloba and Vitamin B6). The usual dose of glutamine for children is 250-500 mg daily (depending on age and size), increasing gradually to a maximum dose of 3000 mg daily.
Ça m'interpelle pas mal car mes enfants ne sont pas ADHD mais ils ont pas mal de points en commun tel difficulté de sommeil et agitation principalement au stade bb et bambin (surtout si on n'a pas trouvé les manettes au niveau alimentaire) et pour mon fils qui est plus grand au niveau stabilité de l'humeur et impulsivité (là encore amélioré avec l'alimentation). Donc maintenant que j'ai compris que c'est vraiment une question de métabolisme : je me demande si c'est pas une vraie piste, cet équilibre au sein du binôme.
