...Guangrui Lai; Xiaoming Li; Bijun Zhang; Leitong Wang; Rong He; Yanyan Zhao Objective: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common malformation in China. In this study, we determined whether amino acids (AAs) in the amniotic fluid (AF) of patients with CHD changed and clarified whether AAs...

...Chie Furuta; Hitoshi Murakami Backgrounds/Aims: This study was aimed at understanding the relationship between plasma amino acids and protein malnutrition and at determining whether amino acid supplementation associated with malnutrition and growth improves linear growth in growing rats. Methods...

...Michel Hochuli; Sandra Bollhalder; Carina Thierer; Julie Refardt; Philipp Gerber; Matthias R. Baumgartner Background: Adult phenylketonuria (PKU) patients often reduce their intake of amino acid mixture (AAM) to less than the prescribed amounts. Effects of reduced AAM intake on nutrient supply were...

... on protein malnutrition waned. It is recently apparent that quality protein and essential amino acids are missing in the diet and may have adverse consequences for child growth and the reduction of child stunting. Key Messages: It may be time to re-include protein and return protein malnutrition...

.... Total essential amino acid serum levels were reduced (p < 0.05) after the withdrawal period. Ketogen-ic and urea cycle amino acids were reduced (p < 0.05) in the salbutamol-fed T-I group and glycogenic amino acids were diminished (p < 0.05) in the T-II experimental group. The data show...

... to production of urea. The sum of all large neutral amino acids in muscle was significantly decreased after dF treatment, indicating a diminished proteolysis. Pair-feeding experiments over 2 days revealed that this was not solely a result of diminished food intake, but also an additional metabolic effect of dF...

...D. López-Tejero; M. Pastor-Anglada; X. Remesar The blood amino acid compartmentalization during pregnancy and lactation of the rat have been studied. Cellular amino acid levels are similar to those of the plasmatic fraction. Important generalized decreases are detected on days 12 and 21...

...), on nitrogen balance and protein nutritional status of morbidly obese patients. Cumulative nitrogen loss, serum albumin, transferrin, prealbumin (PA) and retinol-binding protein (RBP) concentrations, and plasma amino acid profile were determined in two groups of obese patients: 5 subjects (3 women, 2 men: BMI...

... and uric acid were carried out for 8 h. Computer-aided analysis of the kinetics of respiratory 14 CO 2 demonstrated two exponentially decreasing components, ‘fast 14 CO 2 ’ and ‘slow 14 CO 2 ’. Fast 14 CO 2 production represents the immediate oxidation and/or decarboxylation of the 14 C-labeled amino acid...

..., are independent of the nature of the amino acid and of the age (1–3 weeks) of the animal. As supported by investigations in cycloheximide-treated chicks of the oxidative catabolism of glycine, valine and acetate, slow 14 CO 2 is significantly associated with the degradation of short-lived proteins. 19 11...

...Trevor K. Smith; Leena Lindqvist; Liisa Alakuijala; Terho O.

Rats...

... method, and the concentrations of whole blood glucose, oxygen, ammonia, 23 amino acids and plasma urea nitrogen were assessed. The results indicate that free amino acids and glucose comprise the major substrates required by the fetal lamb during both the fed and fasted states. While a number of amino...

Plasma albumin concentrations decreased only in animals fed the low protein diet; with energy restriction a small but significant rise in albumin was seen. Although plasma amino acid concentration fell in both...

...C. Sérougne; A. Rukaj The effect of feeding amino acid-supplemented diets on plasma cholesterol concentration and distribution in the lipoproteins was studied on adult rats. A control diet (without any amino acid addition), and experimental diets supplemented with one of the following L -amino...

...H.A. Lee; S. Talbot; A. Rowlands; M.A. Jackson 6 patients in end-stage renal failure of varying aetiologies have been studied on low protein dietary regimens according to a P 6 formulation.
