One of the features of liver cirrhosis is an abnormal metabolism of methionine—a characteristic that was described more than a half a century ago. Thus, after an oral load of methionine, the rate of clearance of this amino acid from the blood is markedly impaired in cirrhotic patients compared with that in control subjects. Almost 15 y ago we observed that the failure to metabolize methionine i...
The possible involvement of opioid system in the regulation of hemolymph glucose level in the fresh water crab Oziotelphusa senex senex Fabricius, was investigated. Opioid agonist and antagonist was also used in addition to methionine-enkephalin itself. Injection of the opioid, methionine-enkephalin and FK 33-824 significantly elevated hemolymph glucose level. In contrast, injection of naloxone...
The full utilization of legumes as human food is limited by a deficiency of sulfur amino acids, low protein digestibility, low methionine bioavailability and the presence of anti-nutritional factors. A new cultivar of Phaseolus vulgaris (Carioca 80) has 56.8% available methionine, compared with 29.3% availability in the parent cultivar Carioca. The total methionine content, denaturing gel elect...
Treatment of amino acids, peptides, and proteins with aqueous solution of dimethyl sulfoxide (Me2SO) and hydrochloric acid (HCl) resulted in the oxidation of methionine to methionine sulfoxide. In addition to methionine, SH groups are also oxidized, but this reaction proceeds after a lag period of 2 h. Other amino acids are not modified by aqueous Me2SO/HCl. The reaction is strongly pH-dependen...
A large proportion of human tumor-derived cell lines and primary tumor cells show methionine-dependent growth. This phenomenon refers to the ability of cells to grow in media containing methionine and the inability of cells to grow in media supplemented with methionine’s precursor, homocysteine (Hcy). Methionine can be formed by two different pathways, the recycling pathway and the salvage path...
Methionine synthase (EC2.1.1.14) catalyses the final step in methionine synthesis, i.e. methylation of homocysteine. A search of the Schizosaccharomyces pombe genomic database revealed a gene designated SPAC9.09, encoding a protein with significant homology to methionine synthase. Disruption of SPAC9.09 caused methionine auxotrophy, and thus the gene was identified as a methionine synthase and ...
Volatile sulfur compounds such as methanethiol, dimethyl disulfide, dimethyl trisulfide, and hydrogen sulfide constitute an important fraction of Cheddar cheese flavor. These compounds are products of the catabolism of methionine and cysteine by bacteria in the cheese matrix. The objectives of this study were to examine the levels and types of volatile sulfur compounds produced from methionine ...
In the present study, we evaluated the effects of individual administration of methionine or glucosamine (GlcN) and compared with the combined administration of methionine and GlcN on the adjuvant arthritis model of rheumatoid arthritis in rats. Adjuvant arthritis was induced in female Lewis rats by injecting Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA) into the right hind paws, and methionine (200 mg/kg b...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of natural and alternative sources of methionine and choline which can be allowed to use in organic livestock systems to feed broilers produced in Brazil. Seven hundred and twenty one-d-old male Cobb broilers were randomly allocated to four treatments with six replicates of 24 birds each. The treatments consisted in substituting the commonly u...
BACKGROUND/AIMS Ethanol consumption and pathological conditions such as cirrhosis lead to a reduction of hepatic glutathione. Hepatic methionine adenosyltransferase, the enzyme that synthesizes S-adenosylmethionine, the major methylating agent, is regulated in vivo by glutathione levels. We have previously shown that nitric oxide inactivates methionine adenosyltransferase in vivo by S-nitrosyla...
