Circulating Branched Chain Amino Acids and Cardiometabolic Disease

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) are essential for protein homeostasis, energy balance, and signaling pathways. Changes in BCAA homeostasis have emerged as pivotal contributors in the pathophysiology of several cardiometabolic diseases, including type ...

Therapeutic Effect of Targeting Branched-Chain Amino Acid Catabolic Flux in Pressure-Overload Induced Heart Failure. [PDF]

, 2019
Background Branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) catabolic defect is an emerging metabolic hallmark in failing hearts in human and animal models. The therapeutic impact of targeting BCAA catabolic flux under pathological conditions remains understudied ...

The response of diatom central carbon metabolism to nitrogen starvation is different from that of green algae and higher plants [PDF]

, 2011
The availability of nitrogen varies greatly in the ocean and limits primary productivity over large areas. Diatoms, a group of phytoplankton that are responsible for about 20% of global carbon fixation, respond rapidly to influxes of nitrate and are ...

A Depolarizing Leak in Sodium Bicarbonate Cotransporter NBCe1 Causes Brain Edema

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives SLC4A4 encodes electrogenic sodium bicarbonate cotransporter NBCe1, prominently expressed in kidney and brain. Recessive loss‐of‐function variants in SLC4A4 cause proximal renal tubular acidosis, no brain edema. In the brain, NBCe1 is expressed by astrocytes, where it regulates pH and mediates astrocyte volume changes.

Insights into Protein and Amino Acid Metabolism of Thermoanaerobacter mathranii

Fermentation
Few investigations have been carried out into the members of the genus Thermoanerobacter for protein and amino acid metabolism compared to carbohydrates, mostly due to the intense interest in bioethanol and biohydrogen in recent decades.

Dihydrotestosterone treatment rescues the decline in protein synthesis as a result of sarcopenia in isolated mouse skeletal muscle fibres [PDF]

, 2016
Background Sarcopenia, the progressive decline in skeletal muscle mass and function with age, is a debilitating condition. It leads to inactivity, falls, and loss of independence.

Harnessing Fungal Biowelding for Constructing Mycelium‐Engineered Materials

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Mycelium‐bound composites (MBCs) offer low‐carbon alternatives for construction, yet interfacial bonding remains a critical challenge. This review examines fungal biowelding as a biocompatible adhesive, elucidating mycelium‐mediated interfacial mechanisms and their role in material assembly. Strategies to optimize biowelding are discussed, highlighting

Depletion of branched‐chain aminotransferase 2 (BCAT2) enzyme impairs myoblast survival and myotube formation

Physiological Reports, 2019
Much is known about the positive effects of branched‐chain amino acids (BCAA) in regulating muscle protein metabolism. Comparatively much less is known about the effects of these amino acids and their metabolites in regulating myotube formation.

Aminosäuren – Leitlinie Parenterale Ernährung, Kapitel 4 [PDF]

, 2009
Protein catabolism should be reduced and protein synthesis promoted with parenteral nutrion (PN). Amino acid (AA) solutions should always be infused with PN. Standard AA solutions are generally used, whereas specially adapted AA solutions may be required
