The migration of Arctic char Salvelinus alpinus from freshwater to seawater requires a substantial reorganization of the osmoregulatory tissues to regulate plasma ion levels. These modifications have an inherent metabolic cost, which must be met through the upregulation of intermediary metabolism. Arctic char intermediary metabolism was monitored during the initial 96 h of seawater acclimation ...

an experiment was conducted to reevaluate the digestible lysine requirement of arian male broilers by comparing the performance of chicks fed different levels of cottonseed meal (csm) on a total amino acid (aa) versus a digestible aa basis. four hundred and thirty two (432) arian male broiler chicks were allotted to 18 treatments with four repli-cates of six chicks each in a completely randomiz...

Disruptions in gut microbiota composition and function are increasingly implicated in the pathogenesis of obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The functional output of the gut microbiota, including short-chain fatty acids and amino acids, are thought to be important modulators underlying the development of these disorders. Gut bacteria can alter the bioavailability of amin...

Tumor glucose metabolism and amino acid metabolism are usually enhanced, 18F-FDG for tumor glucose metabolism PET imaging has been clinically well known, but tumor amino acid metabolism PET imaging is not clinically familiar. Radiolabeled amino acids (AAs) are an important class of PET/CT tracers that target the upregulated amino acid transporters to show elevated amino acid metabolism in tumor...

Betula platyphylla Suk (Asian white birch) is an economically important tree species in the paper-pulping and biofuel industries. To investigate mechanism of wood formation at metabolic level, we evaluated responses associated with tension-wood formation. Four-year-old trees were subjected to artificial bending treatment for 6 weeks. The xylem growth rate tension (TW) was significantly faster t...

The effects of protein deficiency on the metabolism of ribonucleic acid in the liver have already been described (Munro, Naismith & Wikramanayake, 1953; Clark, Naismith & Munro, 1957). The amount of ribonucleic acid in the liver falls rapidly during the first day of protein depletion and then becomes adjusted at a lower level. During the initial phase of reduction, uptake of 32p and of [14C]gly...

The transepithelial electrical potential difference across the isolated midgut of Bombyx mori larvae is dependent on the presence of potassium and is unaffected by the addition of hexoses to perfusion media, whereas it is enhanced by alanine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid and the corresponding 2oxoacids, glutamine and malate. The midgut enzyme profile indicates that the substrates for the tricar...

In addition to controlled expression of genes by specific regulatory circuits, the abundance proteins and transcripts can also be influenced physiological states cell such as growth rate metabolism. Here we examine control gene metabolism, analyzing a multi-omics dataset consisting absolute-quantitative abundances transcriptome, proteome, amino acids in 22 steady-state yeast cultures. We find t...

Small RNAs in Penicillium digitatum were identified and analyzed via transcriptome sequencing on the BGISEQ-500 platform. A total of 15 predicted miRNAs 10718 novel siRNAs found. Their length distribution, sequence, construction, base bias, expression levels potential targets determined as well. Through pathway KEGG enrichment analysis, miRNA target genes mostly involved carbohydrate metabolism...
