The rate at which amino acids are removed from the blood by the organs has been previously reported (l-3). The methods used permitted only estimation of total amino acid nitrogen, and no information could be gained as to the fate of the individual amino acids injected. Quantitative paper chromatography (4) seemed to lend itself as a valuable method in studying the pattern of absorption of paren...

central composite design (ccd; 5 levels and 3 factors) and response surface regression (rsreg) were used to evaluate the response of broiler chicks [average daily gain (adg), feed conversion ratio (fcr) and feed intake (fi)] to dietary requirements of  lysine (lys), methionine (met) and threonine (thr). a total of 60 battery brooder units of 6 birds each were assigned to 15 diets in 3 replicati...

background: parathyroid hormone is an 84-amino acid peptide secreted by the parathyroid glands. its physiological role is maintenance of normal serum calcium level and bone remodeling. biological activity of this hormone is related to n-terminal 1-34 amino acids. the recombinant form of hormone (1-34) has been approved for treatment of osteoporosis from 2002. in this study, a novel fusion partn...
