Intestinal Uptake and Metabolism of Threonine: Nutritional Impact
نویسنده
چکیده
Intestinal metabolism of dietary essential amino acids and its potential impact on their availability for whole-body growth has been the focus of many investigators' research over several decades. One of the major questions was concerned with the discrepancy between the disappearance of dietary essential amino acids from the small intestinal lumen and appearance in the portal circulation despite the fact that most commonly fed proteins are almost completely digestible. The earlier pioneering studies with adult pigs made clear that the disappearance of essential amino acids from the lumen of the small intestine overestimates their availability to peripheral tissues of the host (Rerat et al., 1988; 1992).

Impacts of Dietary L-Threonine Supplementation on Performance and Intestinal Morphology of Broiler Chickens during Summer Time
The present study evaluated effects of 0.0%, 0.5%, 0.75% and 1.0% L-threonine in diet on performance and gastrointestinal tract development in broiler chickens during summer. From 0 to 42 days old, body weight gain was greater in 0.75% L-threonine fed birds than in 0.0% and 0.5% L-threonine fed birds (P0.05). During the growth period, 0.75% L-threonine fed birds had the highest body weight gain...
متن کاملA moderate threonine deficiency affects gene expression profile, paracellular permeability and glucose absorption capacity in the ileum of piglets.
High dietary threonine extraction by the digestive tract suggests that threonine contributes to maintain gut physiology. In the present study, we evaluated the impact of a low (6.5 g of threonine/kg diet; LT group) or a control well-balanced threonine diet (9.3 g of threonine/kg diet; C group) given to piglets for 2 weeks on ileal permeability and Na+-dependant glucose absorption capacity in Us...
متن کاملIntestinal amino acid metabolism in neonates.
The portal-drained viscera (stomach, intestine, pancreas and spleen) have a much higher rate of both energy expenditure and protein synthesis than can be estimated on the basis of their weight. A high utilization rate of dietary nutrients by the portal-drained viscera might result in a low systemic availability which determines whole-body growth. From studies in our multiple catheterized piglet...

Birth and adaptation to extrauterine life involve major shifts in the protein and energy metabolism of the human newborn. These include a shift from a state of continuous supply of nutrients including amino acids from the mother to cyclic periodic oral intake, a change in the redox state of organs, thermogenesis, and a significant change in the mobilization and use of oxidative substrates. The ...

This study was performed to investigate the effects of dietary threonine (Thr). level on performance, metabolizable energy, intestinal morphology, and immune system in coccidian–infected broiler chickens. The diets contained: 88%, 100% (Non challenged (NC) and challenged control (PC)), 112%, 124%, and 136% of Thr requirement according to Cobb 500 recommendation and fed during grower (pre challe...
