Pathogenesis of cancrum oris (noma): confounding interactions of malnutrition with infection. (1/363)

This study showed that impoverished Nigerian children at risk for cancrum oris (noma) had significantly reduced plasma concentrations of zinc (< 10.8 micromol/L), retinol (< 1.05 micromol/L), ascorbate (< 11 micromol/L), and the essential amino acids, with prominently increased plasma and saliva levels of free cortisol, compared with their healthy counterparts. The nutrient deficiencies, in concert with previously reported widespread viral infections (measles, herpesviruses) in the children, would impair oral mucosal immunity. We postulate, subject to additional studies, that evolution of the oral mucosal ulcers including acute necrotizing gingivitis to noma is triggered by a consortium of microorganisms of which Fusobacterium necrophorum is a key component. Fusobacterium necrophorum elaborates several dermonecrotic toxic metabolites and is acquired by the impoverished children via fecal contamination resulting from shared residential facilities with animals and very poor environmental sanitation.  (+info)

Total parenteral nutrition in the management of acute renal failure. (2/363)

Malnutrition is frequently present in patients with acute renal failure and may affect morbidity and mortality in this condition. When adequate nourishment cannot be given through the gastrointestinal tract, total parental nutrition with amino acids and hypertonic glucose may have beneficial results. Total parenteral nutrition has been reported to stabilize or reduce serum urea nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus levels, improve wound healing, enhance survival from acute renal failure, and possibly increase the rate of recovery of renal function. The optimal composition of the total parenteral nutrition infusate is unknown. Preliminary results of a double-blind study are reported in which one man received hypertonic glucose alone, two received glucose with essential amino acids (21 g/day), and three received glucose with essential (21 g/day) and nonessential (21 g/day) amino acids. All infusates were isocaloric. No differences were observed in serum urea nitrogen levels, serum urea nitrogen/creatinine ratios or urea appearance rates. Nitrogen balance was negative in all patients. The ratio of essential amino acids/nonessential amino acids were higher and the tyrosine/phenylalanine ratios were lower in plasma in the two patients receiving glucose with essential amino acids. No patient survived the hospitalization. In view of the markedly negative nitrogen balance frequently observed in these and earlier studies, the use of a different composition or quantity of amino acids, a higher energy intake, and anabolic hormones deserve further investigation.  (+info)

Criteria for choosing amino acid therapy in acute renal failure. (3/363)

Metabolic studies were performed on 19 patients with acute renal failure. Therapy included intravenous hyperalimentation using 15 to 20 g of essential amino acids or 20 to 40 g of essential plus nonessential amino acids and hypertonic glucose (37 to 50%). The effect of this parenteral feeding appears to be primarily pharmacological. Hypertonic glucose promotes the hyperinsulinemia important to be membrane function, the operation of the sodium pump, and cell metabolism. Administration of high biological value crystalline amino acdis potentiates the effect of insulin by inhibiting protein breakdown and promoting protein synthesis, particularly in muscle. This reduces tissue catabolism and urea formation, and promotes potassium, magnesium, and phosphate homeostasis. The branched-chain ketogenic amino acids valine, leucine, and isoleucine may be of particular importance. When indicated, administration of renal failure hyperalimentation and peritoneal or hemodialysis can be expected to complement each other and accelerate recovery. This intravenous fluid therapy, in turn, must be coordinated with proper hemodynamics, usually requiring a colloidal solution to maintain intravascular volume, and cardiotrophic agents such as digitalis and dopamine. Early use of renal failure can be expected to demonstrate the most striking response in terms of survival, early recovery from acute renal failure, and the preservation of physiological homeostasis.  (+info)

Postexercise net protein synthesis in human muscle from orally administered amino acids. (4/363)

We examined the response of net muscle protein synthesis to ingestion of amino acids after a bout of resistance exercise. A primed, constant infusion of L-[ring-2H5]phenylalanine was used to measure net muscle protein balance in three male and three female volunteers on three occasions. Subjects consumed in random order 1 liter of 1) a mixed amino acid (40 g) solution (MAA), 2) an essential amino acid (40 g) solution (EAA), and 3) a placebo solution (PLA). Arterial amino acid concentrations increased approximately 150-640% above baseline during ingestion of MAA and EAA. Net muscle protein balance was significantly increased from negative during PLA ingestion (-50 +/- 23 nmol. min-1. 100 ml leg volume-1) to positive during MAA ingestion (17 +/- 13 nmol. min-1. 100 ml leg volume-1) and EAA (29 +/- 14 nmol. min-1. 100 ml leg volume-1; P < 0.05). Because net balance was similar for MAA and EAA, it does not appear necessary to include nonessential amino acids in a formulation designed to elicit an anabolic response from muscle after exercise. We concluded that ingestion of oral essential amino acids results in a change from net muscle protein degradation to net muscle protein synthesis after heavy resistance exercise in humans similar to that seen when the amino acids were infused.  (+info)

Effects of dorsomedial hypothalamic nuclei lesions on intake of an imbalanced amino acid diet. (5/363)

Within 3 h of ingesting an imbalanced amino acid diet (Imb), rats show attenuated intake, which can be ameliorated by prior administration of the serotonin receptor antagonist tropisetron (Trop). Earlier work in which the dorsomedial hypothalamic nucleus (DMN) was electrolytically lesioned (DMNL) determined that this structure plays a role in the early detection of and subsequent adaptation to Imb. However, that study did not address whether cell bodies in the DMN, fibers of passage, or both were involved in the DMNL response to Imb. In the present investigation in experiment 1, rats were given electrolytic DMNL or a sham operation (Sham). The rats were injected with saline (Sal) or Trop just before introduction of Imb. By 3 h Sal-DMNL rats consumed more Imb than did the Sal-Sham rats; intake was normal by 12 h. Trop enhanced Imb intake, with Trop and DMNL being additive. By day 4 the DMNL rats were eating and gaining weight less than were Sham rats. In experiment 2, DMN cell bodies were destroyed by ibotenic acid (Ibo). Sal-injected Ibo-lesioned and Sham rats showed similar food intake depression on Imb; Trop similarly increased Imb intake in both groups. By day 4 both Ibo-L rats were eating and gaining weight less than were Sham rats. In experiment 3, groups of rats were given knife cuts posterior, lateral, ventral, dorsal, or anterior to the DMN. During the first 3 h of consuming Imb, all cuts except posterior enhanced the intake of Imb. Over the next 24 h the anterior cut group continued to eat more Imb than did the Sham rats. In experiment 4 DMNL rats were given novel diets; the DMNL rats did not display a neophilic response. The data suggest that fiber tracts that pass through the DMN may be involved in the early detection of Imb. DMN cell bodies, or fibers of passage, are not involved in the Trop effect. Finally, DMN cell bodies are necessary for proper long-term adaptation to Imb.  (+info)

Temporal and differential effects of amino acids on bovine embryo development in culture. (6/363)

The aim of the study was to determine the amino acid requirements of the in vitro-produced bovine embryo as it develops from the zygote to the blastocyst, using a two-step culture system. When added to synthetic oviduct fluid (SOF) for the first 72-h culture, Eagle's nonessential amino acids and glutamine (NeGln) significantly increased development to the 8- to 16-cell stage (Day 4 postinsemination [pi]) and subsequent blastocyst development (Day 7 pi). Glutamine alone during the first 72-h culture did not stimulate development to the 8- to 16-cell stage (p > 0.05); however, the removal of glutamine from NeGln reduced the stimulatory effects of the nonessential amino acids. Replacing glutamine with betaine (an organic osmolyte) in NeGln did not stimulate development to the 8- to 16-cell stage compared to culture in SOF, but it did improve subsequent blastocyst development, indicating an osmolytic function of glutamine during the first 72-h culture. The addition of Eagle's essential amino acids and glutamine to SOF, or to medium already containing nonessential amino acids and glutamine for the first 72-h culture, did not affect cleavage to the 8- to 16-cell stage or subsequent blastocyst development (p > 0.05). Beyond Day 4 pi, culture with 20aa (nonessential and essential amino acids and glutamine) increased blastocyst development, total cell number, and the number of cells in both the trophectoderm and inner cell mass, compared to culture with other groups of amino acids (p < 0.05). Substituting betaine for glutamine in 20aa reduced blastocyst formation, indicating a non-osmolytic function of glutamine during the second 72-h culture. Further, there was a significant negative correlation between the concentration of essential amino acids (quarter, half, or single strength) and embryo development during both the first 72-h and second 72-h culture (p < 0.01), indicating that the concentration of essential amino acids was too high during culture of the bovine embryo. This study identified the temporal and differential effects of amino acids during development of the bovine embryo from the zygote to the blastocyst.  (+info)

Essential amino acids affect interstitial dopamine metabolites in the anterior piriform cortex of rats. (7/363)

The anterior piriform cortex (APC) is essential for the anorectic reactions to an amino acid-imbalanced diet, and it also responds to repletion of the limiting amino acid. In the present study, we examine the dynamic changes of the interstitial dopamine metabolites in the APC following feeding of either an amino acid-corrected or -imbalanced diet. Microdialysates, collected from the APC, were analyzed using HPLC with electrochemical detection. The concentrations were 19.7 +/- 4.8 microg/L for 3, 4-dyhydroxyphenylacetic acid and 25.1 +/- 4.4 microg/L for homovanillic acid, respectively, in the baseline dialysates. After diet treatments, no significant changes occurred in 3, 4-dyhydroxyphenylacetic acid in the corrected (n = 7) or imbalanced (n = 9) groups vs. the basal group (n = 7). However, after feeding the threonine-corrected diet, the concentration of homovanillic acid was significantly less (P < 0.01) than after the basal and imbalanced diets. The homovanillic acid level in the corrected group was already significantly lower than in the basal group by 20 min (P < 0.05), and reached its lowest level at 70 min (P < 0.05). The concentrations of homovanillic acid in the corrected group remained at this low level until the end of the experiment. The present results introduce the idea that the dopaminergic system is involved in the feeding responses to essential amino acid repletion.  (+info)

A tracer investigation of obligatory oxidative amino acid losses in healthy, young adults. (8/363)

BACKGROUND: Estimation of the minimum requirement for indispensable amino acids (IAAs) has been attempted by assuming that obligatory oxidative losses (OOLs) of IAAs can be approximated from nitrogen losses and that the efficiency of utilization of IAAs at requirement intakes is approximately 70%. OBJECTIVE: We wished to determine the rates of OOLs in healthy adults, using L-[1-(13)C]leucine and L-[1-(13)C, methyl-(2)H(3)]methio-nine as tracers, after adjustment to a protein-free diet and how these rates compare with those when either sulfur amino acids (SAAs: methionine and cyst(e)ine) or leucine were removed from an otherwise adequate diet. DESIGN: Eleven subjects were randomly assigned to a 5-d protein-free diet or a 5-d diet providing adequate nitrogen and amino acids except for the SAAs or leucine. A 24-h constant intravenous infusion of [(15)N, (15)N]urea and L-[1-(13)C]leucine (Leu group; n = 5) or L-[1-(13)C, methyl-(2)H(3)]methionine (Met group; n = 6 ) began at 1800 on day 5 and rates of amino acid oxidation were determined. RESULTS: Mean (+/-SD) oxidation rates (mg kg(-)(1) d(-)(1)) of methionine and leucine were 6.4 +/- 1.4 and 24.7 +/- 3.6, respectively, with the protein-free diet; rates were significantly lower (3.9 +/- 2.2 and 7. 2 +/- 3.4, respectively) after the SAA- and leucine-free diets. Urea production was significantly lower (P < 0.01) with the protein-free than with the SAA- or leucine-free diet. CONCLUSIONS: Isotopically determined OOLs for methionine and leucine are consistent with losses predicted from nitrogen excretion, and consistent with our previous measurements of cysteine oxidation as an index of total SAA losses. The data further support our earlier conclusions regarding methionine sparing by cysteine and tentative recommended SAA requirements in adults.  (+info)

Since your body cannot produce essential amino acids, they must be provided through your diet.. Fortunately, many foods are rich in essential amino acids, making it easy to meet your daily needs.. The US recommended daily allowances per 2.2 pounds (1 kg) of body weight for the nine essential amino acids are:. Histidine: 14 mg. Isoleucine: 19 mg. Leucine: 42 mg. Lysine: 38 mg. Methionine (+ the non-essential amino acid cysteine): 19 mg. Phenylalanine (+ the non-essential amino acid tyrosine): 33 mg. Threonine: 20 mg. Tryptophan: 5 mg. Valine: 24 mg. Foods that contain all nine essential amino acids are referred to as complete proteins.. Complete protein sources include:. Meat. Seafood. Poultry. Eggs. Dairy Products. Soy, quinoa and buckwheat are plant-based foods that contain all nine essential amino acids, making them complete protein sources as well. Other plant- based sources of protein like beans and nuts are considered incomplete, as they lack one or more of the essential amino acids. ...
In addition, due to unique developmental needs, infants and growing children need Cysteine, Tyrosine and Arginine and supplementation is recommended.. Without essential amino acids as a part of our daily diet, our body cannot conduct a variety of functions that keep us alive. Since essential amino acids are found in variety of different foods, it is important to adopt a habit of actively seeking and maintaining a balanced and diverse diet. Without this the odds of meeting our daily essential amino acid needs are slim to none, same as our odds of maintaining healthy metabolism and optimum health. Think of building a house. No bricks means no house. No protein means no muscle. And no muscle… well… lets use our imagination.. The wonderful thing about essential amino acids is that we do not have to ingest them together to gain full benefits. Our body is perfectly able to take amino acids ingested at different times during the day and convert them to proteins trough segmented metabolic process. ...
Background: A high dietary protein intake has been shown to blunt the deposition of intrahepatic lipids in high-fat- and high-carbohydrate-fed rodents and humans. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of essential amino acid supplementation on the increase in hepatic fat content induced by a high-fructose diet in healthy subjects. Design: Nine healthy male volunteers were studied on 3 occasions in a randomized, crossover design after 6 d of dietary intervention. Dietary conditions consisted of a weight-maintenance balanced diet (control) or the same balanced diet supplemented with 3 g fructose·kg-1·d-1and 6.77 g of a mixture of 5 essential amino acids 3 times/d (leucine, isoleucine, valine, lysine, and threonine) (HFrAA) or with 3 g fructose·kg-1·d -1 and a maltodextrin placebo 3 times/d (HFr); there was a washout period of 4 to 10 wk between each condition. For each condition, the intrahepatocellular lipid (IHCL) concentration, VLDL-triglyceride concentration, and VLDL-[13C

Spaceflight and bed rest (BR) lead to muscle atrophy. This study assessed the effect of essential amino acid (EAA) supplementation and resistance training with decreased energy intake on molecular changes in skeletal muscle after 28-day BR and 14-day recovery. Thirty-one men (31-55 years) subjected to an 8 ± 6% energy deficit were randomized to receive EAA without resistance training (AA, n = 7), or EAA 3 h after (RT, n = 12) or 5 min before (AART, n = 12) resistance training. During BR, myostatin transcript levels increased twofold in the AA group. During recovery, insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) mRNA increased in all groups, whereas Pax7, MyoD, myogenin, and MRF4 transcripts increased in AA only (all P , 0.05). MAFbx transcripts decreased twofold with AA and RT. Satellite cells did not change during BR or recovery. This suggests that EAA alone is the least protective countermeasure to muscle loss, and several molecular mechanisms are proposed by which exercise attenuates muscle atrophy ...
TY - JOUR. T1 - Nitrogen sparing effect of essential amino acids in uremia. AU - Abitol, C.. AU - Holliday, M.. PY - 1975/1/1. Y1 - 1975/1/1. N2 - This study was designed to determine whether essential amino acids administered during night time fasting would improve the nutritional status of uremic children. Seven children (8-14 yr) with mean SUN=107 mgn% were given 10% glucose and essential amino acid nitrogen (EAAN) to provide 0.25-0.5 gm/K/night for 5 nights following a control period of one night. Ad libitum diet provided a mean of 69 Kcal/K/day (Range 26-109) and 0.68 gm Protein/k/day (Range 0.12-1.37). Urea production (UrP)/24 hr was determined from change in urea nitrogen pool and urinary excretion. Apparent protein synthesis (PrS) was determined as the difference between total nitrogen intake (NI) and UrP. Results were evaluated by testing the correlation of nitrogen intake with urea production and apparent protein synthesis. Infusion of EAAN in uremic patients may promote protein ...

The nutritional value of a protein is measured by the quantity of essential amino acids it contains. Different foods contain different amounts of essential amino acids, therefore not all protein is made equal. Animal products such as chicken, beef, fish and dairy contain all nine essential amino acids and are considered complete, high quality food sources of protein. Plant-based products such as beans, lentils, nuts and wholegrains typically lack at least one essential amino acid, thus are considered incomplete proteins.. There are some plant-based foods such as soy products, quinoa and European golden peas, the peas used in Nuzest Clean Lean Protein, that contain all nine essential amino acids. This makes these foods a great addition to a vegan or vegetarian diet, as this way of eating makes it more challenging to ensure an adequate mix of essential amino acids are being consumed through the diet.. ...
Essential amino acids are critically important for a healthy body and brain. Here is a list of the essential amino acids for human beings.
Change you life TODAY. CNANGE LIFE NOW. There are 2 categories of 20 amino acids i.e, essential and non essential.. The Essential amino acids - Essential amino acids are those amino acids that are cannot be manufactured by our body, therefore, in order to fulfill you body need it is essential that you obtain them from your diet.. Non-essential amino acids - Non essential amino acids are those amino acid that are manufactured by our body, however, it is important that our body must have the right combination of essential amino acids and supporting nutrients in order to optimize healthy protein maintenance, therefore use of supplementation may be desirable.. In order to build various types of proteins which is used in growth, repair and maintenance of our body tissues these 20 amino acids are needed.. ...
Amino acids are molecules that link together to form proteins. According to the bodys regeneration needs, enzymes gather amino acids to form new proteins that perform specific roles in the body. It is because of amino acids that the body can form cartilage, bones, tendons, muscles, nerves, the skin, nails, hair and blood. In addition to the vital role they play in the transport and storage of nutrients, they are able to combat deficiencies linked to metabolic problems.. The 20 amino acids are called essential or nonessential.. Essential amino acids : Essential amino acids are vital to life and cannot be produced by the body. They must be provided by foods or supplements. They are 8 in number : isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophane, valine.. Non essential amino acids : Non essential amino acids are naturally produced by the body, but that does not mean we should not consume any. Because the capacity of the body to produce amino acids varies from one ...
Proteins are necessary in an animals diets, since animals cannot make all the amino acids they need (they can make most of them). They must get certain amino acids from food. These are called the essential amino acids. Through digestion, animals break down ingested protein into free amino acids. The amino acids are then used in metabolism to make the enzymes and structures the body needs. There are nine essential amino acids for humans, which are obtained from food. The nine essential amino acids are: histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine. [6] Meat contains all the essential amino acids humans need; most plants do not. However, eating a mixture of plants, such as both wheat and peanut butter, or rice and beans, provides all the essential amino acids needed. Soy products like tofu provide all the essential amino acids-as does quinoa-but these are not the only way to get the protein humans need. The scientist Jöns Jacob Berzelius ...

Our bodies need protein, which comes from both essential and non-essential amino acids highlighted here.. The body produces non-essential amino acids, but the 9 essential amino acids: Histidine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Threonine, Tryptophan, and Valine, must come from food sources. It is important for vegans to take note of the essential amino acids they are getting daily from their diet and make an effort to achieve the standard for the Recommended Daily Intake (RDI). There are numerous options for vegans other than proteins from animals but it is necessary that an effort is put into what you eat, when you eat it and what benefits you are getting from what you are eating. Here is a resource for the nutritional content on numerous food items. (Note: It sometimes converts to grams so you may have to do your own metric/imperial conversion.). The FDA recommends that 10% to 35% of daily calories come from protein. This roughly translates to .40 to .50 grams of protein ...

Background Although dietary ketogenic essential amino acid (KAA) content modifies accumulation of hepatic lipids, the molecular interactions between KAAs and lipid metabolism are yet to be fully elucidated. Methodology/Principal Findings We designed a diet with a high ratio (E/N) of essential amino acids (EAAs) to non-EAAs by partially replacing dietary protein with 5 major free KAAs (Leu, Ile, Val, Lys and Thr) without altering carbohydrate and fat content. This high-KAA diet was assessed for its preventive effects on diet-induced hepatic steatosis and whole-animal insulin resistance. C57B6 mice were fed with a high-fat diet, and hyperinsulinemic ob/ob mice were fed with a high-fat or high-sucrose diet. The high-KAA diet improved hepatic steatosis with decreased de novo lipogensis (DNL) fluxes as well as reduced expressions of lipogenic genes. In C57B6 mice, the high-KAA diet lowered postprandial insulin secretion and improved glucose tolerance, in association with restored expression of muscle ...

Worldwide, one-quarter of children under five years are short for their age (stunted), indicative of chronic malnutrition. Lipid-based nutrient supplements containing micronutrients have little to no effect in reducing child stunting. We examined the relationship between circulating metabolites with stunting in young children in Africa. Stunted children had lower serum levels of all nine essential amino acids compared with non-stunted children. These results challenge the widespread assumption that protein intake is adequate among young children in developing countries. The findings support the idea that children at high risk of stunting are not receiving adequate dietary intake of essential amino acids.. Click here to read full article.. SaveSave. ...
Essential amino acids can be found mainly in the food of animal origin. These types of proteins are also called complete proteins because it contains all the essential amino acids. These proteins can be found in meat, chicken, fish, eggs, milk products. Some sorts of fish are advanced for our nutrition because, besides necessary proteins, they also contain a high concentration of fatty acids that prevent heart attack and stroke. Salmon, sardines, trout, and tuna are fish that contains eight times more omega 3 and omega six fatty acids than other fish.. ...

An essential amino acid, or indispensable amino acid, is an amino acid that cannot be synthesized de novo (from scratch) by the organism, and thus must be supplied in its diet. The nine amino acids humans cannot synthesize are phenylalanine, valine, threonine, tryptophan, methionine, leucine, isoleucine, lysine, and histidine (i.e., F V T W M L I K H). Six other amino acids are considered conditionally essential in the human diet, meaning their synthesis can be limited under special pathophysiological conditions, such as prematurity in the infant or individuals in severe catabolic distress. These six are arginine, cysteine, glycine, glutamine, proline, and tyrosine (i.e., R C G Q P Y). Five amino acids are dispensable in humans, meaning they can be synthesized in the body. These five are alanine, aspartic acid, asparagine, glutamic acid and serine (i.e., A D N E S). (*) Essential only in certain cases. (**) Pyrrolysine, sometimes considered the 22nd amino acid, is not used by humans. ...
Nutrition Facts: Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. Protein has an important job in building and rebuilding body tissue and providing the body with nitrogen, an essential element for all living beings. There are both essential and nonessential amino acids. Essential amino acids must be obtained from the diet; nonessential amino acids are made by the body. Here are lists of the essential and nonessential amino acids:
Branched chain amino acids have been a supplement staple for bodybuilders for many years. Why they are used so much is because of their anti-catabolic and energy producing effects. BCAAs consist of leucine, isoleucine, and valine. These three are known as essential amino acids. Essential amino acids are not produced in the body, therefore must be obtained by proper nutritional support. Non-essential amino acids are produced in the body. Supplementing with BCAAs will help ensure that the athlete is supplying the body with an adequate amount of essential amino acids. BCAAs differ than other amino acids in that they are metabolized in the muscle and not the liver like other amino acids are. BCAAs can produce a boost in energy during intense training. BCAAs can help improve blood plasma and serum markers, which help improve the recovery time of damaged tissue. During intense training leucine is easily depleted and contributes to tissue fatigue. Keeping BCAAs high in the bloodstream after an ...
Strenuous exercise following overnight fasting increases fat oxidation during exercise, which can modulate training adaptation. However, such exercise induces muscle protein catabolism by decreasing blood insulin concentrations and increasing amino acid oxidation during the exercise. Leucine-enriched essential amino acids (LEAAs) enhance muscle protein synthesis (MPS) at rest and after exercise. However, it remains to be clarified if the co-ingestion of carbohydrate with LEAAs induces an additional increase in MPS, particularly in a hypoinsulinemic state induced by strenuous exercise. Eight-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were made to perform strenuous jump exercise (height 35 cm, 200 jumps, 3-s intervals), after which they ingested distilled water and 1 g/kg LEAAs with or without 1 g/kg of glucose. The fractional synthesis rate was determined by measuring the incorporation of l-[ring-2H5]-phenylalanine into skeletal muscle protein. Immediately after the exercise, plasma insulin concentration was

In contrast to the specific signs that may occur as a result of vitamin or mineral deficiencies, the effects of essential amino acid deficiencies are nonspecific: reduced growth, reduced feed consumption, decreased egg production and egg size, and loss of body weight in adult hens. The decreased of feed intake occurs within hours of consumption of a deficient diet and is due to a distortion in plasma and tissue amino acid levels.. Practical ingredients usually are limiting in one or more amino acids. It is often cost effective to supply the limiting amino acids in the form of synthetic amino acids, especially lysine and methionine. Other amino acids such as threonine, tryptophan, arginine, and isoleucine can become limiting when unusual protein sources are used or when the dietary protein level is reduce. Diets that are devoid of animal by-products are often fortified heavily with feed-grade amino acids.. Unlike severe deficiencies, marginal amino acid deficiencies often result in increased food ...

The function of proteins is to be used for tissue growth and repair, but when carbohydrates and calories are lacking, proteins can be consumed for fuel.. The human bodys own proteins are constantly being broken down into amino acids and used throughout its systems.. The human body is mostly made of proteins, and proteins are made of amino acids - permutations of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen and sometimes sulphur. There are 22 amino acids in total and all but 9 can be synthesized, the Essential Amino Acids.. To be used for growth and repair, a protein needs have access to the full sequence of required essential amino acids. If an essential amino acid is missing, the unusable remaining amino acids are broken down into fats or sugars.. Examples of foods with essential amino acid content of at least 70% of a complete protein(see Limiting Amino Acids) are oats, garbanzo beans, sunflower seeds, buckwheat, red/white/black beans, rice, peanuts and pumpkin seeds.. ...

If one of the essential amino acids is less than needed for an individual the utilization of other amino acids will be hindered and thus protein synthesis will be less than what it usually is, even in the presence of adequate total nitrogen intake.[2]. Protein deficiency has been shown to affect all of the bodys organs and many of its systems, including the brain and brain function of infants and young children; the immune system, thus elevating risk of infection; gut mucosal function and permeability, which affects absorption and vulnerability to systemic disease; and kidney function.[2] The physical signs of protein deficiency include edema, failure to thrive in infants and children, poor musculature, dull skin, and thin and fragile hair. Biochemical changes reflecting protein deficiency include low serum albumin and low serum transferrin.[2]. The amino acids that are essential in the human diet were established in a series of experiments led by William Cumming Rose. The experiments involved ...

Giordano (in 1963) and Giovannetti Maggiore (in 1964) showed that biochemical and symptomatic improvement occurred if the protein intake of patients with severe chronic renal failure was limited to 18 g per day (consisting of essential amino acids or natural proteins of high biological value) (Robson JS, 1969).. Very low protein diets reduce urea production by the body, and this at the very least makes the blood tests look better. It was thought in the 1960s that a low protein diet could delay death and increase life span. They may do that, in the absence of dialysis, but many still died. Protein was restricted to 18 grams per day (protein intake in an unrestricted person is about 60-80 g/day). The 18 grams of protein included essential amino acids, additional essential amino acids or ketoanalogues of essential amino acids were sometimes given to patients. The protein content of the diet was calculated meticulously. The diet was so strict that even Christmas dinner could not be an ...

Essential Amino Acids: Amino acids that are not synthesized by the human body in amounts sufficient to carry out physiological functions. They are obtained from dietary foodstuffs.
So people say that there is no single vegetable that contains all essential amino acids, but that you can get all of them by consuming a wide variety of vegetables. Could anyone tell me what vegetables contain which amino acids? Do soybeans actually contain all of them? I dont know who to trust these days and am quite wary of what might be said in websites

Amino acids are the monomer of protein containing both amino group and carboxyl group.. Structure of amino acids:. Each amino acid has an α-amino group (- NH3+), an α-carboxyl group (- COOH), and a distinctive side chain (R- group) attached to the α-carbon atom.. Types of amino acids:. 20 amino acids are necessary for human body. Of these, some can be produced by the liver - called non essential amino acids; the rest must be supplied by food - called essential amino acids.. According to nutritional value, amino acids may be classified as:. Essential amino acids - Amino acids that cannot be produced by the body but essential for growth and development of body. These amino acids must be obtained from diet. Protein containing diet including milk, egg, meat, and cheese contain all essential amino acids but grains and vegetables do not contain all the essential amino acids.. Non essential amino acids - These amino acids that can be produced by the body.. List of 20 Amino acids: ...
tyr - Y - A nonessential amino acid, tyrosine is produced from another amino acid, phenylalanine. Deficiency of the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase that catalyzes this reaction causes the genetic disease called phenylketonuria (PKU). Tyrosine is a precursor of thyroid hormones, catecholamines, and melanin. Symbol: Tyr. Valine - val - V - A dietary essential amino acid, valine is required for optimal growth of children. It is one of the three branched-chain amino acids. Deficiency of the dehydrogenase enzyme for these branched-chain amino acids causes maple syrup urine disease. Symbol: Val. Sometimes it is not possible two differentiate two closely related amino acids, therefore we have the special cases: asparagine/aspartic acid - asx - B glutamine/glutamic acid - glx - Z Here is list where amino acids are grouped according to the characteristics of the side chains: Aliphatic - alanine , glycine , isoleucine , leucine, proline valine Aromatic - phenylalanine , tryptophan , tyrosine Acidic - ...

Valine 0.50%. Of these, the most important in pig nutrition is Lysine. There is a high proportion of this amino acid in the protein of white fish meal and soybean meal. In fact, Lysine is so important in pig nutrition that plant breeders are trying to produce varieties of maize and barley with a high Lysine percentage in their protein.. Food proteins that contain all the essential amino acids are said to have a high biological value. Such foods are mainly animal proteins such as milk, eggs, meat and fish. Food proteins that contain only a few of the essential amino acids are said to have low biological value. These are essentially the vegetable proteins (such as cereals and nuts). Generally, vegetable proteins will be high in some of the essential amino acids, but lacking in others.. The biological value of vegetable protein can be increased by feeding combinations of vegetable proteins that complement each other. For example, if grains and beans are fed together, they will supply all the ...
BCAA supplementation may attenuate muscle soreness, but it does not ameliorate eccentric exercise-induced decrements in muscle function or increases in reputed blood markers of muscle damage, when consumed before exercise and for 3 d after an eccentric exercise bout.
Background: Ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury is a serious and common complication after liver surgery and transplantation. We previously showed that three days of preoperative fasting protects against hepatic I/R injury. The protective effect was induced by the absence of protein, since a protein-free diet induced similar protection. To investigate whether total protein or single essential amino acids are responsible, we investigated the effects of a three-day preoperative amino acid free diet on hepatic I/R injury in mice.. Materials and methods: Male C57BL/6 mice were randomized into four groups (n=6/group). Three days before the induction of hepatic I/R injury they received either a control diet, a leucin-free, methionine-free or tryptophan-free diet. Bodyweight was recorded during the dietary intervention and after surgery. Hepatic I/R injury was induced by clamping 70% of the liver for 75 minutes. Serum ALAT and LDH levels and the percentage of necrosis in liver tissue were used to ...

If youve been following along then by now youve figured out that science has proven that even less than half a gram of protein per pound of bodyweight per day is enough to both retain and build muscle mass. Today Id like to look into amino acids to see what we can learn and also to see if I can wrap this series up.. Obviously, the important component of the protein seems to be the essential amino acid content. It is now clear that muscle anabolism occurs with ingestion of only the essential amino acids meaning the non-essential amino acids are unnecessary to stimulate muscle growth following exercise(1). However, this doesnt mean that essential amino acid supplements are superior to non-essential or to whole proteins. It simply means that essential amino acids can stimulate muscle protein synthesis and there are ample non-essentials to support the elevated levels of synthesis.. Leucine may be the most important amino acid for stimulation of muscle protein synthesis. Leucine, along with ...
Amino acids (AA) are important in poultry nutrition not only for protein deposition, but also for other metabolic functions; such as improving immune and gut functions. Although, some table values are available on amino acids requirement, AA requirements may vary due to changes in dietary composition and breeding selection. Thus amino acids requirements have remained an ongoing research topic. Formulating diets with optimal amino acids will not only reduce the feed costs and improve the productions efficiency, but also have environmental benefits. Recent studies reported the requirements of some essential amino acids and their optimal ratios. This paper is aimed at reviewing the studies presented at XIIIth European Poultry Conference which provided the most recent information on amino acids requirement in poultry. These studies showed that the commonly used table values might underestimate amino acids requirements in poultry
Excess alcohol consumption is a top risk factor for death and disability. Fatty liver will likely develop and the risk of liver disease increases. We have previously demonstrated that an essential amino acid supplement (EAAS) improved protein synthesis and reduced intrahepatic lipid in the elderly. The purpose of this study was to further evaluate the influence of EAAS on intrahepatic lipid (IHL), body composition, and blood lipids in individuals with mild to moderate alcohol use disorder (AUD). Following consent, determination of eligibility, and medical screening, 25 participants (18 males at 38±15 years/age and 7 females at 34±18 years/age) were enrolled and randomly assigned to one of two dosages: a low dose (LD: 8 grams of EAAS twice/day (BID)) or high dose (HD: 13 grams of EAAS BID). Both groups consumed the supplement for 4 weeks. Pre- and post-EAAS administration, IHL was determined using magnetic resonance imaging/spectroscopy, body composition was analyzed using dual energy x-ray
Protein intake in vegetarian diets is only slightly lower than in meat diets and can meet daily requirements for any person, including athletes and bodybuilders.[1] Studies at Harvard University as well as other studies conducted in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and various European countries, confirmed vegetarian diets provide sufficient protein intake as long as a variety of plant sources are available and consumed.[2] Proteins are composed of amino acids, and a common concern with protein acquired from vegetable sources is an adequate intake of the essential amino acids, which cannot be synthesised by the human body. While dairy and egg products provide complete sources for lacto-ovo vegetarians, the only vegetable sources with significant amounts of all eight types of essential amino acids are lupin, soy, chia seed, amaranth, buckwheat, and quinoa. However, the essential amino acids can also be obtained by eating a variety of complementary plant sources ...

For most aminoacidopathies, dietary treatment includes natural protein restriction combined with a synthetic amino acid mixture devoid of the amino acids prior to the metabolic block or essential amino acid supplementation. Especially if the amino acid - that cannot be converted due to the enzymatic defect - is essential (e.g. phenylalanine in PKU), dietary management has proven to be effective [49, 118, 119]. On the contrary, if the nonconvertible amino acid is nonessential (e.g. tyrosine in Tyrosinemia type I), dietary treatment is less effective [120, 121]. The present review addresses the applications, objectives, and treatment effects of additional SAA supplementation for purposes other than to overcome a deficiency of the amino acid that has become essential by the enzymatic defect. Before discussing the main conclusions in further detail, we will first address some methodological issues.. In the present review, supplementation of one or two amino acids that have become essential by the ...

Eccentric contractions induce muscle damage, which impairs recovery of glycogen and adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP) content over several days. Leucine-enriched essential amino acids (LEAAs) enhance the recovery in muscles that are damaged after eccentric contractions. However, the role of LEAAs in this process remains unclear. We evaluated the content in glycogen and high energy phosphates molecules (phosphocreatine (PCr), adenosine di-phosphate (ADP) and ATP) in rats that were following electrically stimulated eccentric contractions. Muscle glycogen content decreased immediately after the contraction and remained low for the first three days after the stimulation, but increased seven days after the eccentric contraction. LEAAs administration did not change muscle glycogen content during the first three days after the contraction. Interestingly, however, it induced a further increase in muscle glycogen seven days after the stimulation. Contrarily, ATP content decreased immediately after the eccentric

Benefits Of Proteins. Body building foods is another way of referring to proteins. Proteins are a very important part our meals. Quite Some structures in the body are made out of proteins. Every day consumption of proteins is recommended. Proteins are largely involved in the fitness of the body. Fish, meat, eggs, and beans are sources of proteins. Proteins are provided with many other proteins other than these. The building blocks of proteins are called amino acids. There are two types of amino acids in nature. These are the essential and nonessential amino acids. The essential amino acids are those that are not produced by the body are therefore a must requirement in our meals. The non-essential amino acids, on the other hand, are produced by the body hence are not a must to be present in the diet. Different types of amino acids are there. Twenty of them to be particular. Examples of these include lysine, glycine, leucine, and methionine. Proteins have a lot of other benefits in our bodies. In ...

It is not quite clear so far to what extent the requirement for total non-essential N can be influenced by the presence or absence of different non-essential amino acids. There are a number of studies indicating that some amino acids, commonly classified as non-essential, may have essential character (Breuer et al., 1964; Newburg et al., 1975; Ball et al., 1986; Roth et al, 1994a) whereas some others are inferior as sources of non-specific N (Sugahara and Ariyoshi, 1967b; Allen and Baker, 1974). Therefore, both the specific requirements for non-essential amino acids and the value of these amino acids in supplying the organism with non-specific nitrogen should be taken into account when studying the optimum E:T ratio and formulating amino acid diets.. Results of studies aimed at identification of non-essential amino acids needed for normal performance have been controversial. The requirement for proline has been demonstrated in rats (Breuer et al., 1964; Heger et al., 1987), chicks (Sugahara and ...
1. After ingestion of up to 1-2 g of protein/kg body weight by adults, plasma concentrations of all amino acids, including glutamine and glutamic acid, rose to a maximum within 5 h.. 2. The increases in concentration depended on the amount of protein ingested.. 3. The changes were not due to diurnal variation in plasma amino acid levels, so, protein loading tests may be of value in the assessment of protein absorption. ...
Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of wheat and crystalline amino acids on growth performance of nursery and finishing pigs. In Exp. 1, a total of 192 pigs (PIC, 337 × 1050, initially 26.7 lb BW) were used in a 21-d nursery study. Pigs were allotted to pens by initial BW, and pens were assigned to 1 of 4 dietary treatments in a completely randomized design with 6 pigs per pen and 8 replications per treatment. Treatments included: (1) corn-soybean meal diet, (2) diet 1 with wheat replacing approximately 50% of the corn, (3) wheat replacing 100% of the corn in diet 1 with high amounts of crystalline amino acids, and (4) diet 3 with 5% more SBM and lower crystalline amino acids. Overall, (d 0 to 20), no growth performance differences were found when replacing 50% of corn with wheat (P , 0.75), but tendencies for reduced ADG (linear, P , 0.08) were observed when replacing 100% corn with wheat. Replacing 100% of corn with wheat improved (linear, P , 0.05) caloric efficiency on an ...

Protein Powder (Digestive). What is protein? Protein is an essential nutrient for the human body, and the building blocks of body tissue.  Protein is made up of several amino acids: essential, and non-essential.  Non-essential amino acids are readily manufactured in our liver, and these comprise approximately 80% of the amino acids.  The essential amino acids are the remaining 20%, and we can only get them from our diet, or in supplement form.  Available in Whey or Vegan sources.
Fish do not have a specific protein requirement but rather a definite requirement for essential amino acids that comprise proteins. In other words, it is essential amino acids in dietary protein that a fish requires and not the protein per se. When protein is digested, the amino acids comprising it are released and absorbed into the body as either individual amino acids or shorter chains of amino acids, the di- and tri-peptides. There are about 20 known amino acids used as building blocks for the proteins in all living organisms. Ten amino acids are essential, and they must be incorporated into diets because fish either cannot synthesize them or can synthesize them at a rate that is inadequate for cellular demand. The other amino acids are classified as dispensable or dietary non-essentials because fish can synthesize them at a rate that meets cellular demand for protein synthesis. Both essential and non-essential amino acids are required by body cells whenever proteins are being synthesized ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Effect of leucine-lsoleucine antagonism on plasma amino acid pattern of rats. AU - Rogers, Quinton. AU - Spolter, P. D.. AU - Harper, A. E.. PY - 1962/1/1. Y1 - 1962/1/1. N2 - The rate of stomach-emptying, the nitrogen content of the intestinal contents, and the blood plasma amino acid pattern of rats were determined at various time intervals up to 24 hr. after they had consumed a single low-protein meal containing enough leucine to cause a leucine-isoleucine and valine antagonism. Control groups were fed either the basal diet without additional leucine or the high-leucine diet with extra isoleucine and valine to alleviate the antagonism. No significant differences were found between the rates of stomach-emptying, or between the amounts of nitrogen in the intestinal contents, of the groups fed the high leucine diets with or without extra isoleucine and valine. The concentrations of isoleucine and valine in blood plasma from the group receiving excess leucine alone were lower ...
Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAA). Branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) is the name given to three of the eight essential amino acids needed to make protein: leucine, isoleucine and valine. They are called branched-chain because their structure has a branch off the main trunk of the molecule. The combination of these three essential amino acids makes up approximately one-third of skeletal muscle in the human body. The body cannot produce BCAAs on its own, but must obtain through diet or supplementation. In order to get energy, the body can actually break down muscle in order to obtain BCAAs. By supplementing BCAAs during and after your workout, you can help prevent muscle tissue breakdown, which occurs as a natural part of metabolism.. ...

Our body does not come with a guarantee. Just because we are designed to synthesize and metabolize non-essential amino acids, does not mean everyone is able to. Every system, no matter how well designed can suffer from flaws, and human body is not an exception. Metabolic flaws have major impact on how our body uses nutrients and facilitates the function of cells, tissues and organs. They are dispersed with lottery like odds. But instead of winning thousands of dollars, metabolic lottery costs the sufferers thousands of dollars in therapies that help them live until the cure is found.. There are unlucky few born with major errors in non-essential amino acid metabolism. There are no rules. That can be our mother, sister, father, child, a neighbor, stranger crossing a street, anyone. And while we enjoy our steaks, live, run, laugh and take our health for granted, they have to struggle every day to survive. And they would give anything to switch places.. So what prevents them? The inborn pre-exiting ...

One of the problems with grains is their poor protein quality. Besides containing a fairly low concentration of protein to begin with, they also dont contain a good balance of essential amino acids. This prevents their efficient use by the body, unless a separate source of certain amino acids is eaten along with them. The main limiting amino acid in grains is lysine. Legumes are rich in lysine, which is why cultures around the world pair them with grains. Bacterial fermentation produces lysine, often increasing its concentration by many fold and making grains nearly a complete protein, i.e. one that contains the ideal balance of essential amino acids as do animal proteins (11, scroll down to see graph). Not very many plant foods can make that claim. Fermentation also increases the concentration of the amino acid methionine and certain vitamins ...
One supplement which I always recommend all of my clients touse is BCAAs, and I would recommend you to do the same. After getting yourprotein supplements bought there is no question in my mind that BCAAs are themost important supplement if protecting your muscle, building muscle and promotingmuscle recovery is of importance to you. In short, any athlete who exercisesregularly needs BCAAs in my mind!What are BCAAs? BCAAs are simply essential amino acids whichaccount for about 35-40% of your overall amino acid count. The body is able toproduce the other 60-65% but without proper nutrition and supplementation itwill not be able to benefit from the essential amino acids. These are known asleucine, isoleucine and valine. When you supplement with BCAAs your body isable to metabolise them within the muscle. BCAA products which have a high concentrationin leucine are generally more beneficial due to the increase anti-cataboliceffects this amino acid can offer.Why do I need BCAAs? Above we touched on some of the
Protein! The protein content of sea vegetables can range up to 28%. The amino acid composition is well balanced and contains all or most of the essential amino acids. As a result, sea veggies provide a higher quality protein than certain grains and beans that are lacking one or two essential amino acids. One of the more important amino acids found especially in kelp is glutamic acid; which helps improve mental and nervous system activity, provides energy and even helps with sugar cravings ...
Kailish, as a vegetarian (nearly vegan diet), I really feel the need to educate you on some things.. Different plant sources of protein contain different amino acids, and soy is the only complete protein besides meat. So to get all the essential amino acids, vegetarians either eat soy or else a combination of various other protein sources. But to say that we need to eat double the quantity of food is just silly. If I eat 10g of protein in a food with some essential amino acids, and 10g of protein from another food with the other esseintial aminos, the combination is roughly the same nutritionally (from a protein standpoint) of eating 20g of meat protein. The difference, of course, is that my 20g of protein doesnt come with cholesterol and extra unneeded fat.. I find it interesting how you claim that flax and chia are the only plant sources of omega-3, then you name another plant source later on in the same paragraph (walnuts). And seaweed is another major one. Not something that most people ...
