Dietary amino acids and their contribution to de novo lipogenesis
… the result of the nutrition transition featuring dietary patterns high in sugars, particularly liquid carbohydrates in the form of sugary beverages, fat, and protein from red meat. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the effect of changing the solid/liquid ratio of meals on gastric emptying …

Peptides and Nitrogen-Free Analogs as Substitutes for Dietary Amino Acids: Significance in the Nutriture of Chicks and Rats
… L-HMV (84%, chicks; 65%, rats), as a source of dietary Ile for both chicks and rats. D-HMV had no growth-promoting activity for either chicks or rats. D-Val was well utilized by chicks (72%) but had only marginal Val bioactivity for rats (16%). Efficacy values of the isomers of …

Mechanisms Regulating Resistance Training Mediated Hypertrophy in Human Skeletal Muscle
… synthesis (MyoPS), satellite cells (SC) and dietary amino acids to promote muscle hypertrophy have generally been investigated independently in controlled lab based settings and predominately in males; therefore this dissertation systematically examined how MyoPS, SC and dietary amino acids …

Absorption of carnosine and methionylglycine by sheep ruminal and omasal epithelia
… may be an important route for supplying dietary amino acids to the ruminant.

Regulation of postprandial protein metabolism after food ingestion and exercise
… % casein), resulted in a sustained release of dietary amino acids in circulation that coincided with prolonged postprandial elevations in intramuscular anabolic signaling and rates of muscle protein synthesis. In study 2, we demonstrated that production of labeled food proteins can be done in a …

Food intake regulation and tonic immobility in the domestic fowl as medicated by tyrosine and tryptophan
… strains of chickens were also tested. The amino acids were intubated intragastrically in a series of four experiments. Food consumption following tryptophan intubation decreased in both the slow and fast-growing strains. Increased food intake was observed in the slow-growing birds as a …

The effect of nutrition and environment on broiler type chickens
Influence of light, dietary amino acid levels, feeding space, and ambient temperature on male broiler body weight, feed efficiency, percentage abdominal fat, and incidence and severity of leg abnormalities was studied in two experiments. Broilers subjected to intermittent light (1 hr on:2 hrs off) …

Systemic and local signalling regulating neural stem cell proliferation
… *Drosophila* NSCs reactivate in response to dietary amino acids sensed by the fat body, a sensor organ analogous to liver and adipose tissue in mammals. Previously unknown signals from the fat body are transmitted to the bloodbrain barrier (BBB) glia on the surface of the brain. The glia …

Nutrient Utilization in Pigs and Chicks Treated With Lipopolysaccharide: Lysine, Threonine, Arginine, Sulfur Amino Acids and Vitamin E
… response of LPS-challenged animals. Severe dietary deficiencies of lysine, threonine or arginine ameliorated the negative effects of LPS in chicks. In addition, pigs receiving high levels of D-$\alpha$-tocopherol (600 mg i.m. per day for 3 days) had lower peak levels of IL-6 and cortisol …

Nutritional regulation of neural stem cell reactivation in Drosophila melanogaster
… when larvae are fed a diet containing essential amino acids. The fat body, a functional homologue of the liver and adipose tissue, acts as a systemic nutrient sensor. Existing evidence from both in vivo and in vitro studies suggest that upon sensing dietary amino acids, the fat body secretes …
