Lipoic acid and ascorbic acid affect plasma free amino acids selectively in the teleost fish pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus)
(2004-11-01)
Most studies on the antioxidants, lipoic acid (LA) and ascorbic acid (AA), focused on species that, unlike teleost fish, are not scurvy-prone, and are able to synthesize AA. The antioxidant properties of LA may make it ...
On the Optimization of Hydrolysis Conditions for Simultaneous Determination of Amino Acids and Amino Sugars in Marine Sediments
(SciTecnhol, 2013-07-18)
In the present work different approaches were tested for the optimization of the hydrolysis conditions for the joint determination of amino acids and amino sugars in chitin, an important structural polymer in fungi, ...
Effects of intrauterine malnutrition on brain free amino acids of young rats, after nutritional recovery during lactation period
(1984-01-01)
The effect of protein-calorie malnutrition during gestation on the brain amino acids of rat pups was studied following nutritional recovery during lactation. The brain amino acids of rat pups born to dam rats malnourished ...
The Mycobacterium leprae hsp65 displays proteolytic activity. Mutagenesis studies indicate that the M. leprae hsp65 Proteolytic activity is catalytically related to the HslVU protease?
(2002-06-11)
The present study reports, for the first time, that the recombinant hsp65 from Mycobacterium leprae (chaperonin 2) displays a proteolytic activity toward oligopeptides. The M. leprae hsp65 proteolytic activity revealed a ...
Amino acid composition of processed fish silage using different raw materials
(Elsevier B.V., 2003-03-31)
The objective was to evaluate amino acid composition of silages produced from three raw materials. Commercial marine fish waste, commercial freshwater fish waste, and tilapia filleting residue were used to produce fish ...
Structural insights into selectivity and cofactor binding in snake venom l-amino acid oxidases
(2012-04-27)
l-Amino acid oxidases (LAAOs) are flavoenzymes that catalytically deaminate l-amino acids to corresponding α-keto acids with the concomitant production of ammonia (NH 3) and hydrogen peroxide (H 2O 2). Particularly, snake ...
Estimating Amino Acid Requirement of Brazilian Freshwater Fish from Muscle Amino Acid Profile
(WILEY-BLACKWELL PUBLISHING, INC, 2009)
Information on nutritional requirement of some Brazilian farmed fish species, especially essential amino acids (EAA) requirements, is scarce. The estimation of amino acids requirements based on amino acid composition of ...
Amino acid metabolism conflicts with protein diversity
(Oxford University Press, 2014-08)
The 20 protein-coding amino acids are found in proteomes with different relative abundances. The most abundant amino acid, leucine, is nearly an order of magnitude more prevalent than the least abundant amino acid, cysteine. ...
Apparent digestibility of protein, energy, and amino acids in some selected feed ingredients for pacu Piaractus mesopotamicus
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2008-08-01)
The apparent digestibility coefficients (ADCs) of amino acids (AA), protein, and energy in six feed ingredients (Brazilian fish meal, soybean meal, corn gluten meal, alcoholic yeast, corn, and wheat bran) we evaluated for ...
