using uv-vis spectrophotometic method, the formation constants for interaction of cd2+(aq) andco2+(aq) ions with l-alanine were experimentally studied at ph = 4.1 ± 0.01 (50mm of potassiumhydrogen phthalate buffer), ionic strength of 0.1m potassium nitrate and at 5 differenttemperatures 15,20, 25,30 and 35°c. the optical absorption spectra of mixtures containingconsidered cations and l-alanine ...

Sheikh K, Camejo G, Lanne B, Halvarsson T, Landergren MR, Oakes ND. Beyond lipids, pharmacological PPAR activation has important effects on amino acid metabolism as studied in the rat. Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 292: E1157–E1165, 2007. First published December 12, 2006; doi:10.1152/ajpendo.00254.2006.—PPAR agonists have been characterized largely in terms of their effects on lipids and gluco...

amino acids have been extensively used in several processes of the pharmaceutical and food industries. treatments for the recovery and reuse of the wastewaters generated from these processes are few and little known. this work aims at studying the influence of different variables on the sorption of l-cysteine, contained in aqueous solutions, on clinoptilolite mineral. l-cysteine (cys) was sorbe...

caviar is one of the valuable and most popular fish products all over the world that are obtained from sturgeons. nowadays, the wild resources of these fishes are diminished, therefore, to meet the demand for the product, farming sturgeons has been considered. the chemical composition and the amino acids profiles of the wild and farmed roe obtained from beluga (huso huso) were compared and the ...

an experiment was conducted to determine the dietary digestible lysine requirement of male and female broiler chickens (arian) during the period from 6 to 21 days post-hatching. an amino acid-fortified basal diet containing corn and soybean meal as intact protein sources provided 20 % cp, and 3200 kcal amen / kg. in this experiment 150 male and 150 female chicks were allocated on the basis of b...

To examine the molecular mechanisms by which plasma amino acid elevation impairs insulin action, we studied seven healthy men twice in random order during infusion of an amino acid mixture or saline (total plasma amino acid approximately 6 vs. approximately 2 mmol/l). Somatostatin-insulin-glucose clamps created conditions of low peripheral hyperinsulinemia ( approximately 100 pmol/l, 0-180 min)...

1. The livers of rats were perfused in situ with medium containing mixtures of amino acids in multiples of their concentration in normal rat plasma. The incorporation of labelled amino acid into protein of the liver and of the perfusing medium increased with increasing amino acid concentration. During 60min. perfusions, labelling of liver protein reached a plateau, and labelling of medium prote...

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are important in the regulation of lipid and glucose metabolism. Recent studies have shown that PPARα-activation by WY 14,643 regulates the metabolism of amino acids. We investigated the effect of PPAR activation on plasma amino acid levels using two PPARα activators with different ligand binding properties, tetradecylthioacetic acid (TTA) and...

BACKGROUND & AIM plasma amino acid levels may show differences in regard to physiological changes, diet and diseases. The aim of the study is to measure the amino acid levels in children with celiac disease and compare them with the controls. MATERIAL AND METHODS sixty-two children with classic celiac disease and 62 age and sex matched healthy control were enrolled in this study. Plasma amino...
