Diet and Genetics: Trp-ing Over Food Sensitivity
نویسنده
چکیده
Laboratory-reared Caenorhabditis elegans eat Escherichia coli. A new study demonstrates a strong diet-gene interaction: worms with reduced nhr-114 activity are fertile when fed E. coli K-12 strains but are sterile on E. coli B. Surprisingly, tryptophan supplementation of E. coli B restores worm fertility.

Background and Aim: Production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) increases during oxidative stress conditions, which stimulates diabetes, inflammatory reactions, rheumatism and anemia. Some antioxidant properties of turmeric rhizome powder (TRP) were revealed by previous researchers. The present study was conducted to evaluate the influence of TRP on decreasing effects of oxidative stress resu...
متن کاملEffect of Tryptophan Supplementation in Protein Deficient Diets on Performance, Gut Development and Immune Responses in Broiler Chickens
The current trial was conducted to investigate effects of tryptophan (Trp) supplementation in crude protein (CP) deficient diets on performance, gut development and immune responses in broiler chickens. A total of 420 day-old broiler chicks (Ross 308) were assigned to one of 6 dietary treatments, comprising 5 replicates in a completely randomized design including: 1) control diet (CTL) (diet ...

This study was conducted to determine the effect of dietary turmeric rhizome powder (TRP) as a natural antioxidant, and soybean oil, canola oil and tallow on lipid metabolism, blood metabolites, immune system, and antioxidant status of broiler chickens before (BHS, 28 d) and after exposure to heat stress (AHS, 42 d). Seven hundred and ninety two d-old male Arian broilers were randomly allotted ...
متن کاملExcess dietary lysine increases growth of chicks fed niacin-deficient diets, but dietary quinolinic acid has no niacin-sparing activity.
Catabolism of Trp and Lys produces alpha-ketoadipic acid as an intermediary metabolite. An alternate pathway of Trp turnover leads to NAD synthesis. We hypothesized that excess Lys might improve the conversion of Trp to niacin by causing a buildup of alpha-ketoadipic acid, thereby endproduct inhibiting the main Trp catabolic pathway and resulting in more niacin synthesis from Trp. Six bioassays...
متن کاملThe effect of diet composition on tryptophan requirement of young piglets.
The aim of the study was to evaluate the requirement for Trp in relation to diet composition in piglets in the period after weaning (BW range of 9 to 24 kg). Two Trp-deficient [relative to the Dutch (CVB, 1996) and NRC (NRC, 1998) requirement values for piglets of 10 to 20 kg of BW] basal diets were formulated: one based on corn and soybean meal and a second one based on wheat, barley, soybean ...
