The three branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are the most hydrophobic of the amino acids and play crucial roles in determining the structures of globular proteins as well as the interaction of the transmembrane domains of membranous proteins with phospholipid bilayers. However, the three BCAAs do not behave identically. In terms of protein secondary structure, valine and isoleucine exhibit a de...

the purpose of the given work was to study the dairy efficiency of the delivered, local and crossbreed goats in three different generations (f1, f2 and f3), derived from their crosses, as well as the biochemical composition of milk and some bloodplasma hormones, participating in the process of lactopoez. for the biochemical tests of milk we have selected casein and serumproteins, iron in lactof...

Proposed mechanisms by which insulin exerts its effects are discussed. Evidence for a role for the tyrosine kinase activity of the insulin receptor and of a phosphorylation/dephosphorylation cascade is presented. The possible roles of phospholipid breakdown, diacylglycerol, and protein kinase C are discussed. The hypothesis that insulin elicits the hydrolysis of a glycosyl phosphatidylinositol ...

Smith, C. Beebe, C. Eintrei, J. Kang, and Y. Sun. Effects of thiopental anesthesia on local rates of cerebral protein synthesis in rats. Am. J. Physiol. 274 (Endocrinol. Metab. 37): E852–E859, 1998.—We have examined the effects of a surgical level of thiopental anesthesia in adult male rats on local rates of cerebral protein synthesis with the quantitative autoradiographic L-[1-14C]leucine meth...
