The fluxes of arginine and citrulline through plasma and the rate of conversion of labeled citrulline to arginine were estimated in two pilot studies (with a total of six adult subjects) and in a dietary study with five healthy young men. These latter subjects received an L-amino acid-based diet that was arginine-rich or arginine-free each for 6 days prior to conduct, on day 7, of an 8-hr (firs...

Arginine is conditionally indispensable in the neonate, and its synthesis in the intestine is not sufficient to meet requirements. It is not known how neonatal endogenous arginine synthesis is regulated and the degree to which proline and glutamate are used as precursors. Primed, constant intraportal and intragastric infusions of L-[U-14C]proline and L-[3,4-3H]glutamate, and intragastric L-[gua...

Abstract The aim of the present study was to prepare ZnS nanoparticles co-doped with Li + -Cs , were synthesized using a chemical co-precipitation method. ZnS-(Li ) nanoparticle’s capped L- Arginine and reduced sodium sulphide. main advantage this method is semiconductor nanomaterial wide band gap are chemically stable over long time. as prepared characterised by X-Ray Diffraction technique for...

Lymphoblast cell lines established from individuals with juvenile Batten disease (JNCL) bearing mutations in CLN3 and yeast strains lacking Btn1p (btn1-Delta), the homolog to CLN3, have decreased intracellular levels of arginine and defective lysosomal/vacuolar transport of arginine. It is important to establish the basis for this decrease in arginine levels and whether restoration of arginine ...

Strain SR, a monensin-sensitive, ammonia-producing ruminal bacterium, grew rapidly on arginine and lysine, but only if sodium was present. Arginine transport could be driven by either an electrical potential or a chemical gradient of sodium. Arginine was converted to ornithine, and it appeared that ornithine efflux created a sodium gradient which in turn drove arginine transport. There was a li...

Streptococcus lactis metabolizes arginine via the arginine deiminase pathway to ornithine, CO2, NH3, and ATP. The translocation of arginine and ornithine has been studied using membrane vesicles of galactose/arginine-grown cells of S. lactis fused with cytochrome c oxidase proteoliposomes by the freeze/thaw--sonication procedure earlier described. In the presence of reduced cytochrome c the fus...

The arginine deiminase pathway enables Bacillus licheniformis to grow anaerobically on arginine. Both the presence of arginine and anaerobiosis are needed to trigger induction of the pathway. In this study we have cloned and sequenced the arc genes encoding the pathway. They appear clustered in an operon-like structure in the order arcA (arginine deiminase), arcB (ornithine carbamoyltransferase...
