Regulatory Roles of Essential Amino Acids, Energy, and Insulin in Mammary Cell Protein Synthesis
… causing economic and environmental costs. Amino acids (AA), insulin, and glucose significantly enhance muscle protein synthesis efficiencies. The objectives of this research project were 1) to investigate the regulatory effects of essential AA (EAA) and their interactions with insulin, …

Assessing Availability and Utilization of Essential Amino Acids in Dairy Cattle Using Stable Isotope Based Approach
… protein and to evaluate the metabolism of amino acids in mammary glands of dairy cattle using stable isotope-based approaches. In the first experiment, seven heifers (258 ± 28 kg BW) were randomly chosen and assigned to 8 treatment sequences in a 7 x 8, incomplete, Latin square design. …

Effects of essential amino acids supply and body condition prepartum on antioxidant, inflammation and mechanistic target of rapamycin pathways in adipose tissue during the periparturient period
In non-ruminants, adipose tissue is responsive to amino acid supply, can utilize them as fuels, or for protein synthesis regulated in part via insulin and mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling. Nuclear factor, erythroid-derived 2-like 2 (NFE2L2, formerly Nrf2) is a key transcription …

A study of the protein metabolism of a two-year old on two levels of plant protein intake
… allowances except for protein and calories. Essential amino acids were planned to approximate the FAO provisional pattern. Nitrogen determinations were made on food, urine and feces. Food composites for each diet were analyzed for nine of the essential amino acids using a Beckman/Spince Model …

Evaluation of the effects of branched chain amino acids and corn-distillers dried grains by-products on the growth performance, carcass and meat quality characteristics of pigs
… grain with solubles (DDGS), and branched chain amino acids (BCAA) on the growth performance and meat quality of pigs. The first study evaluated the combined effect of dietary level of DDGS and HP-DDG on the growth performance of wean-finish pigs and carcass and pork quality characteristics. This …

Regulation of amino acid transport across the lysosomal surface by the mTORC1 pathway
… which integrates various inputs such as amino acids, growth factor signaling and energy levels. Amino acids promote the localization of mTORC1 to the lysosomal surface, where it can then be activated in response to growth factor availability. While the Rag GTPases mediate the recruitment …

Interrelationships between Soybean Seed Quality Characteristics
… determined by the relative abundance of essential amino acids. Those essential amino acids supplied in the lowest quantity relative to the animal’s requirement limit growth. Examination of soybean protein across genetic sources and environments has indicated that the abundance of …

Chemical and molecular properties of processed soy proteins
… little destruction or oxidation of sulfur amino acids during hydrolysis. Time after extraction was found to affect the measured sulfhydryl and disulfide content. All processed soy products were found to contain cysteic acid. Soy isolates contained the highest amount of cysteic acid, and one …

Determination of optimum amino acid complement for milk protein synthesis in the dispersed rat mammary cell culture
The amino acid requirement for milk protein synthesis was investigated in the rat mammary cells in tissue culture. Studies involved: 1) the amino acid reduction from a positive control (3X) back to a negative control (1X) for each of the essential amino acids that were present in the 1X-MEM …

The effect of zinc levels on nitrogen retention in preadolescent children
… for 12 days. One group was supplemented with the essential amino acids found by analysis to be most limiting with respect to whole egg protein. Threonine, valine, methionine, isoleucine, and lysine were added in amounts to reach a chemical score of 80 based on whole egg protein. The sources and …

Studies on the production, chemical composition and nutritional value of mushroom
… protein, carbohydrates, fat, moisture, ash, and amino acid contents were determined. Diets containing 10% mushroom protein resulted in PER of 1.5 and NPR of 0.74 compared with values for casein of 2.7 and 2.4, respectively. No significant differences were observed between the weights of the …

Synthesis of Bisubstrate Analog Inhibitors against Aspartate Semialdehyde Dehydrogenase
… semialdehyde dehydrogenase (ASADH) is an essential enzyme found in bacteria, fungi and plants. This enzyme is responsible for the production of several essential amino acids, and its absence in humans makes ASADH an attractive target for the development of antibiotics. The goal of the …

Soluble expression of plasmodium falciparum glutamine synthetase and three-dimensional structure by single particle reconstruction
… the inhibition of the de novo expression of essential amino acids within the Plasmodium falciparum cell. This could be achieved by inhibiting the glutamine synthetase gene, which is an essential step in the tri-carboxylic acid cycle.
