Plant-based protein foods are increasingly common, but data on their nutritional quality scarce. This study evaluated it for seitan (wheat-based food), tofu (soya-based soya milk, and a pea emulsion. The true ileal digestibility (TID) of amino acids was determined in minipigs, to calculate the digestible indispensable acid score (DIAAS). TID proteins high not significantly different between tes...

Background: Given the important role of amino acids in regulating many metabolic pathways of the body and considering the scarcity of markers for the diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and its differentiation, we aimed to investigate the status of serum amino acids chromatography in children with IBD. Materials and Methods This case-control study was conducted among children with pri...

first of all, in order to determine the high yielding rapeseed varieties, two field experiments were performed in 2006-2008 cropping seasons in agricultural and natural resources research center of markazi province, arak (34º 5´ n; 49º 42´ e, and 1775 m above sea level), iran. in this research, 15 winter rapeseed varieties were compared in a randomized complete block design with three replicati...

Two experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of pair-feeding, nutritional status (fasting vs feeding ad libitum) and supplementing diets with alanine (2 g/kg), threonine (2 g/kg), glutamic acid (5 g/kg) and arginine (5 g/kg) on growth performance, body composition and free plasma amino acid levels in genetically lean (LL) or fat (FL) chickens of 4 to 7 weeks of age. When fed ad lib...
