Edible Bird’s Nest (EBN) has been used as a health modulator for many centuries. Nutrient degradation in EBN always happen during cleaning process due to factors such temperature and long soaking time water. The present study attempts find the difference between unclean cleaned their amino acid composition. A total of 65 samples were collected directly from swiftlet premises 13 states Malaysia ...

Intestinal perfusion studies performed in man have suggested that amino acid nitrogen may be absorbed more rapidly from peptides than free amino acids. The aim of the present study was to compare the effects of the oral administration of peptides and free amino acids. Two isonitrogenous liquid test meals, one containing 50 g of a partial enzymic hydrolysate of fish protein in which approximatel...

The existing data on the safe upper limits of amino acid intake in humans is essentially observational; how much do individuals ingest and what side effects do they have? There are numerous studies in humans comparing the effects of high doses of amino acids given as protein bound vs. as free amino acids. These studies have shown that protein-bound amino acids have much less effect on plasma le...

Acid-soluble collagen could be isolated from fish skin using acetic acid. In recent years, much attention has been paid to collagen from marine sources, mainly arising from the fact that there is no risk of contagious diseases. Moreover, by processing the fish, significant amounts of waste materials are produced which can be considered as a substitute for these collagen sources. Thunnus tonggol...

Lymphocytes respond to mitogens that stimulate proliferation by increasing theirs metabolic activity. In this study we investigate L-Glutamine and L-Leucine uptake as markers of cell response to Concavalina A (ConcaA) stimulation, using a high-resolution flow technique. We found that lymphocytes induced to blast transformation enhanced rate and efficiency of amino acid uptake during cell prolif...

protein and energy are the two major components of feed that influence performance of the growing and fattening lambs. provision of the quality of protein in the lamb’s diet does not only improve the animal performance but also ensures profitable animal production. different vegetable protein sources are used to formulate the rations for growing and fattening lambs. these protein sources differ...

This study was supported by MSM2678846201 and GACR 523/02/0164. For experiments in area of dairy cows amino acid nutrition the ruminaly protected tablets containing protein, free amino acids or mix of them has been developed. In consequence of their size (>5 mm) an unneglible part of them can be regurgitated. The proportion of regurgitated particles and their passage rate through the GI tract a...
