Plasma amino acid concentrations in healthy elderly men and women.
Postabsorptive plasma concentrations of the large neutral amino acids (LNAAs) were measured in 74 elderly (age 71 +/- 8 y) and 138 young (age 26 +/- 5 y) healthy subjects. Plasma concentrations of valine, leucine, and isoleucine were significantly lower in young females than in young males. This gender-related difference was not observed among elderly subjects because aging was associated with ...
متن کاملUpdate on branched-chain amino acid supplementation in liver diseases.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) have a peculiar role in whole-body nitrogen metabolism. BCAAs are a substrate for protein synthesis, and have been used to conserve or restore muscle mass in advanced liver disease. In addition, the competitive action of BCAAs on amino acid transport across the blood-brain barrier may improve hepatic encephalopathy. RECENT FINDINGS The effe...
متن کاملA specific protein-enriched enteral formula decreases cortisolemia and improves plasma albumin and amino acid concentrations in elderly patients
BACKGROUND Old age is associated with an involuntary and progressive but physiological loss of muscle mass. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of exclusive consumption for 6 months of a protein-enriched enteral diet with a relatively high content of branched-chain amino acids on albuminemia, cortisolemia, plasma amino acids, insulin resistance, and inflammation biomarkers in elde...
متن کاملInfluence of vegetable amino acids and oils supplementation of on Chlorella vulgaris amino acid profile
The aim of the present research is to investigate the profile of amino acid of Chlorella vulgaris supplemented with some plant amino acid and oil extracts. The bioactive oil and amino acid from four Iranian medicinal plants, namely Oliveria decumbens, Thymus kotschyanus, Trachyspermum ammi, and Zataria multiflora were obtained. The LC-MS / MS analysis demonstrated that the major amino acids com...
متن کاملMinimizing amino acid catabolism decreases amino acid requirements.
The processes of natural selection shape the efficiency of nutrient use by animals, with some being especially thrifty while others are wasteful. An examination of the widely divergent amino acid economies of different species vividly illustrates this basic nutritional principle. The domestic cat evolved as a carnivore and has a very high maintenance requirement for dietary amino acids. The cat...
