D-Vinylglycine (2-amino-3-butenoate) functions as a transamination substrate and irreversible inactivator of the homogeneous pyridoxal phosphate-dependent D-amino acid transaminases from Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus sphaericus. In the absence of alpha-ketoglutarate as co-substrate, vinyl-glycine causes little if any inactivation of either enzyme; in the presence of excess alpha-ketoglutarate,...

An experiment was conducted with 240, unsexed day old Arbor Acre broiler chicks to evaluate the benefit of replacing full fat soya (FFSM) whole kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) seed meal (WKSM) in diets on haematology, serum biochemistry and organs weight chicken a 2 x 3 factorial arrangement, consisting two processing methods (raw RKM roasted HKM) inclusion levels (10%, 20% 30%). Blood samples w...

Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) is a fatal disease caused by feline coronaviruses. The causative agent Virus, mutation of Enteric Coronavirus. Corona Virus very common in the cat population. In infected cats, development FIP depends on cat's immune response. more young and old cats because animals have weaker system. acute phase response complex systemic reaction that occurs as to or chroni...

Boiled coffee contains an unidentified lipid that raises serum cholesterol. We studied the effects of the ingestion of coffee oil fractions of increasing purity in volunteers in order to identify the cholesterol-raising factor. In 15 volunteers who ingested 0.75 g/d of a non-triglyceride-fraction from coffee oil for 4 weeks, mean cholesterol increased by 48 mg/dl (1.2 mmol/l) relative to placeb...

Wistar rats were given a diet with 8% sodium chloride to induce hypertension and subsequently sacrificed. Glycine max powder was used reduce atenolol’s side effects during the trial. Thirty divided into five groups tested over eight weeks. Rats’ blood pressure (BP) measured tail-cuff NIBP monitor. Biochemical markers like TG, TC, HDL, LDL, VLDL, alanine transferase, aspartate lipid peroxide (LP...

Some d-amino acid functions for food production are widely known: d-alanine improves sensory evaluations of sake, beer, and fermented foods. Therefore, the application acids, alanine racemase (ALRase) in Lactobacillus sakei ZH-2, which has strong racemization, was analyzed using molecular biological methods. It had been hypothesized that ALRase coding DNA, alr, ZH-2 strain differs from those ot...

These experiments were undertaken to determine the source of alanine released by skeletal muscle and to clarify the possible relationships between this process and the degradation of branched chain amino acids, the release of glutamine, and protein turnover in this tissue. During incubation in vitro, the rat diaphragm underwent net protein breakdown and released amino acids into the medium at a...
