Effects of dietary long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids on plasma amino acids and indices of protein metabolism in infants: Results from a randomized clinical trial [PDF]

, 1998
Background/Aim: Previous studies in vitro and in animals in vivo found that alpha-linolenic acid (C18:3 omega 3) may enhance oxidative damage of essential amino acids.

Branch chain amino acid and melanogenesis [PDF]

Immunopharmacology and Immunotoxicology, 2011
Sir, the recent publication on branch chain amino acid (BCAA) and melanogenesis is very interesting. Cha et al. report that “a complex of BCAAs inhibited melanin production without changes in intercellular tyrosinase activity,” and they propose further that “the complex of BCAAs may be used in the development of safe potential depigmenting agents ...

Plasma Amino Acid Concentrations Predict Mortality in Patients with End-Stage Liver Disease. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
The liver plays a key role in amino acid metabolism. In former studies, a ratio between branched-chain and aromatic amino acids (Fischer's ratio) revealed associations with hepatic encephalopathy.

The Effect of Amino Acids on Production of SCFA and bCFA by Members of the Porcine Colonic Microbiota

Microorganisms, 2022
Functional amino acids supplementation to farm animals is considered to not only be beneficial by regulating intestinal barrier, oxidative stress, and immunity, but potentially also by impacting the gut microbiota.

Genome-wide association studies reveal the genetic basis of amino acid content variation in tea plants

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2023
Tea is one of the most popular non-alcoholic beverages in the world, and free amino acids, especially theanine, make a major contribution to the umami taste of tea.

Disorders of branched chain amino acid metabolism

Translational Science of Rare Diseases, 2016
The three essential branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), leucine, isoleucine and valine, share the first enzymatic steps in their metabolic pathways, including a reversible transamination followed by an irreversible oxidative decarboxylation to coenzyme-A derivatives.

The catalytic subunit of the system L1 amino acid transporter (Slc7a5) facilitates nutrient signalling in mouse skeletal muscle [PDF]

, 2014
The System L1-type amino acid transporter mediates transport of large neutral amino acids (LNAA) in many mammalian cell-types. LNAA such as leucine are required for full activation of the mTOR-S6K signalling pathway promoting protein synthesis and cell ...

Postprandial Glucose and Gastrointestinal Hormone Responses of Healthy Subjects to Wheat Biscuits Enriched with L-Arginine or Branched-Chain Amino Acids of Plant Origin

, 2022
The study investigates the effects of wheat biscuits supplemented with plant flours originating from legumes/seeds enriched either in L-arginine (L-arg) or branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) on postprandial glucose response of healthy subjects ...

Neutrophils as a source of branched-chain, aromatic and positively charged free amino acids

Cell Adhesion & Migration, 2019
Neutrophils release branched-chain (valine, isoleucine, leucine), aromatic (tyrosine, phenylalanine) and positively charged free amino acids (arginine, ornithine, lysine, hydroxylysine, histidine) when adhere and spread onto fibronectin.

Leucinosis, or maple syrup urine disease (lecture and a clinical case)

Alʹmanah Kliničeskoj Mediciny, 2020
Maple syrup urine disease (leucinosis, short-chain ketoaciduria, branched-chain disease, branched-chain ketonuria) is an autosomal recessive disorder which is a consequence of the deficient branched-chain alpha ketoacid dehydrogenase complex.
