castor bean, peanut, soy bean and safflower protein isolates were prepared. the amino acid content of each of the protein isolates was analysed and the essential amino acid contents were compared with the fao human requirements. the results indicated that castor bean has the highest oil and the protein content of defatted meal. safflower 3148 (marand, iran) has the highest amount of essential a...

Milkfish is one of the most cultivated fish species in Indonesia because these have a high tolerance to various environmental conditions tropical waters and are resistant many pests diseases. This preliminary research was conducted analyze amino acid composition contained milkfish meat its product. 20 fresh were obtained from ponds Sidoarjo, East Java, September 2020.

High-protein diets shorten lifespan in many organisms. Is it because protein digestion is energetically costly or because the final products (the amino acids) are harmful? To answer this question while circumventing the life-history trade-off between reproduction and longevity, we fed sterile ant workers on diets based on whole proteins or free amino acids. We found that (i) free amino acids sh...

Objective(s) Motility plays a major role in pathogenicity of Helicobacter pylori, yet there is  scarce data regarding its chemotactic behaviour. The present study was designed to investigate the chemotactic responses of local isolates of H. pylori towards various sugars, amino acids, as well as some other chemical substances. Materials and Methods Chemotaxis was assayed by a modified Adler’s...

Leafy vegetables are an important source of essential components rural people diet in tropical Africa. This study aimed to characterize the free amino acids five leafy consumed Western Côte d 'Ivoire. The leaves Abelmoschus esculentus, Celosia argentea, Ipomea batatas, Manihot esculenta, and Myrianthus arboreus were collected at maturity from cultivated farmlands located Dabou (Abidjan District...

Amino acids play numerous roles in the central nervous system, serving as neurotransmitters, neuromodulators and regulators of energy metabolism. The free amino acid profile in serum of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients may be influenced by neurodegeneration, mitochondrial dysfunction, malabsorption in the gastroenteric tract and received treatment. The aim of our study was the evaluation of th...
