Studies previously reported (l-3)) involving the constant intravenous infusion of a number of amino acids, singly and in combination, have permitted the authors to obtain data concerning a number of physiological and biochemical phenomena associated with amino acid metabolism. The present report deals with the effect of amino acid infusion upon the renal excretion of ammonia. In this phase of m...

The intestinal peptide transporter, PepT1, is known to be regulated by a variety of dietary factors, including protein quantity, protein quality, and feed intake. The objective of this experiment was to determine the effect of dietary protein composition on mRNA abundance of chicken PepT1. From day of hatch to day 8, chicks from 2 genetic lines (A and B, selected under different dietary conditi...

T he utility of amino acids in medicine today continues to be explored via clinical research and applications. Amino acids have several roles in the body; as the building blocks of protein, amino acids are found throughout the body. Muscle is by far the most proteinand amino acid–rich tissue in the body.1 Health care practitioners are gaining more knowledge about amino acids, including their me...

securigera securidaca (l.) degen & dorfl grows in different parts of iran. the seeds of the species are used in iranian folk medicine as an anti-diabetic agent. many studies have established hypoglycemic effects of amino acids and in the present investigation, amino acids of securigera securidaca seeds have been evaluated. the ground seeds were extracted using petroleum ether, hot ethanol a...

HE INVESTIGATION of the excretion of free amino acids after burnB and surgery in humans (1-6) has given rise to conflicting results. The discrepancies reported quite probably have three principal causes: (1) inadequately controlled observations; (2) comparison of observations from widely disparate environments; and (3) the use of relatively semiquantitative technic for determining amino acids, ...

As natural plant growth stimulators, amino acids are widely used to improve the yield and quality of crops. Change in enzymes activities of N assimilation (NR, NiR and GS), residual nitrate (NO3-), soluble protein content, and yield of spinach and lettuce plants were investigated under replacing 20% nitrate-N in the nutrient solution by L-glycine and blood meal amino acids. Seeds of the mention...
