Effect of enteral glutamine or glycine on whole-body nitrogen kinetics in very-low-birth-weight infants.
BACKGROUND Glutamine is a critical amino acid for the metabolism of enterocytes, lymphocytes, and other proliferating cells. Although supplementation with glutamine has been suggested for growing infants, its effect on protein metabolism has not been examined. OBJECTIVE The objective was to examine the effect of enteral glutamine or glycine on whole-body kinetics of glutamine, phenylalanine, ...
متن کاملLow-Protein Formula Slows Weight Gain in Infants of Overweight Mothers
OBJECTIVES Infant formulas provide more protein than breast milk. High protein intakes, as well as maternal obesity, are risk factors for later obesity. The present study tested whether a formula with lower protein content slows weight gain of infants of overweight mothers (body mass index [BMI] >25 kg/m). METHODS In a randomized double-blind study infants of overweight mothers received from ...
متن کاملProtein metabolism in human neonates: nitrogen-balance studies, estimated obligatory losses of nitrogen and whole-body turnover of nitrogen.
1. Aspects of nitrogen metabolism in the human neonate were assessed in one full-term infant and six premature infants by means of nitrogen-balance measurements, estimates of obligatory nitrogen losses and determinations of whole-body nitrogen turnover. 2. Our data indicate that the mean protein requirement for maintenance is 1-1 g of protein day-1 kg-1 and that 3-8 g of protein day-1 kg-1 shou...
متن کاملResponses of Milk Urea Nitrogen Content to Dietary Rume Degradable Protein Level in Lactating Holstein Dairy Cows
Nine multiparous lactating cows averaging 171 days in milk were divided according to days in milk and milk production into three 3×3 Latin squares with three 3-week periods to investigate the effect of rumen degradable protein on milk urea nitrogen. Diets were formulated to provide 3 concentrations of dietary rumen degradable protein (9.8, 10.8, and 11.8% of dry matter), while rumen undegradabl...
متن کاملElevated levels of blood urea nitrogen and creatinine in the last trimester of pregnancy of dromedary camels (Camelus dromedarius)
Background: The knowledge of blood parameters is important for assessing the physiological status and health of animals. OBJECTIVES: This study was conducted to determine the effect of heavy pregnancy on some serum indices of dromedary camels. METHODS: Twenty clinically healthy female dromedary camels aged between 4-5 years were divided into two equal groups: I: pregnant camels in their last tr...
