The efficiency with which dietary protein is used affects the nitrogen excretion by animal and environmental impact of production. Urea uric acid are main products resulting from amino catabolism in mammals birds, respectively. Nitrogen can be reduced using low-protein diets supplemented free acids to ensure that essential not limiting performance. However, there questions whether capacity synt...

Glycine is metabolized in isolated renal cortical tubules to stochiometric qualities of ammonia, CO2 and serine by the combined actions of the glycine-cleavage-enzyme complex and serine hydroxymethyltransferase. The rate of renal glycine metabolism by this route is increased in tubules from acidotic rats, but is not affected in vitro by decreasing the incubation pH from 7.4 to 7.1. Metabolic ac...

This study examined whether two species of Eucalyptus can take up the amino acid glycine from soil and compared the uptake rate of glycine with the uptake rates of nitrate and ammonium. Ectomycorrhizal seedlings of two ecologically disparate species were studied: Eucalyptus regnans F. Muell., a fast-growing forest tree from low altitudes; and Eucalyptus pauciflora Sieber ex Spreng., a slow-grow...

Glycine has the simplest structure among all amino acids. Many attempts have been made to grow different derivative crystals of glycine. However, title compound was not investigated thoroughly understand usability crystal for its device application. In present investigation, using slow evaporation solution growth technique, single glycine grown in presence potassium iodide. Detailed investigati...

The primary catabolic fate of glycine in mammals involves the hepatic glycine-cleavage system in which glycine is sequentially converted to CO,, NH,, NADH + H + , and NS, N"-methylenetetrahydrofolate (Fig. 1) (for review, see Kikuchi, 1973). This multi-enzyme reaction is located exclusively in the mitochondrial compartment (Motokawa 81 Kikuchi, 1971) and can be compared in several respects with...

Glycine is the simplest proteinaceous amino acid and is present in all life-forms on Earth. In aqueous solutions, it appears mainly as zwitterion glycine (+NH3CH2COO-); however, in solid phase, it may be found in amorphous or crystalline (α, β, and γ) forms. The crystalline forms differ from each other by the packing of zwitterions in the unitary cells and by the number of intermolecular hydrog...

Human whole-blood was exposed to 137Cs gamma-rays or 50 keV/microm carbon ions in the presence or absence of glycine betaine, a beer component in vitro. The dicentrics of chromosome aberrations in human lymphocytes were significantly (p < 0.05) reduced by glycine betaine after irradiation with 4 Gy of either gamma-rays or carbon ions. The maximum protection by glycine betaine for gamma-rays or ...
