Calcium-cadmium interaction on L-threonine intestinal transport.
Cadmium is a highly toxic metal that can damage a number of organs including the gastrointestinal tract. It has been shown that cadmium partially reduces L-threonine intestinal absorption probably by binding to membrane proteins which pertain to active transport systems or are functionally related to them. Calcium, however, is an essential element in a wide variety of cellular activities. The a...
متن کاملL-threonine in the treatment of spasticity.
Preclinical data indicate that the administration of the amino acid L-threonine increases glycine levels in rat spinal cord. In order to investigate glycinergic mechanisms in spasticity, and other signs of the upper motor syndrome, we gave 4.5 and 6.0 g/day of L-threonine to 18 patients with familial spastic paraparesis (FSP) according to a double-blind, crossover protocol. The response to trea...
متن کاملGlycine betaine transport in the obligate halophilic archaeon Methanohalophilus portucalensis.
Transport of the osmoprotectant glycine betaine was investigated using the glycine betaine-synthesizing microbe Methanohalophilus portucalensis (strain FDF1), since solute uptake for this class of obligate halophilic methanogenic Archaea has not been examined. Betaine uptake followed a Michaelis-Menten relationship, with an observed K(t) of 23 microM and a V(max) of 8 nmol per min per mg of pro...
متن کاملRat liver L-threonine dehydrogenase.
L-threonine dehydrogenase (E.C.1.1.1.103) catalyzes the NAD+-dependent transformation of Lthreonine to 2-amino 3-0x0-butyric acid, which spontaneously loses CO2 with the final production of aminoacetone ( 1) The enzyme is present in several microorganisms as well as in the liver of vertebrates (2-6). We studied some properties of the rat liver enzyme, showing that the activity was strongly inhi...
متن کاملDietary L-homoserine spares threonine in chicks.
Four chick bioassays were conducted to evaluate the threonine (Thr) replacement value of l-homoserine (HS). Growth rate was increased (P < 0.05) by dietary addition of 800 mg l-HS/kg diet to a purified diet severely deficient in Thr or by the addition of 800 or 1000 mg of l-HS/kg diet to a corn-peanut meal diet distinctly deficient in Thr. The addition of an isomolar level of alpha-ketobutyrate...
