Objective To evaluate the influence of 1.1% amino acid dialysis solution (AADS) on parameters of nutrition in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients. Study Design Studies were performed in 8 men, using AADS for the overnight exchange. Before starting AADS, food intake, nutritional status, and laboratory indices were evaluated and compared to the respective parameters obtained after 3 and 6 months of treatment with AADS, as well as after 3 months of AADS withdrawal. With the start of AADS, doses of antacids were increased and modified during AADS administration; the modified doses were continued through 3 months after cessation of AADS. Another group of CAPD patients using standard dialysis solutions served as controls. In these patients the same parameters were evaluated four times at 3-month intervals. Results Administration of AADS resulted in: (1) 91% absorption of amino acids and improvement of serum amino acid pattern; (2) no change in nutritional intake during the treatment, but after the 3 months of AADS therapy, levels of nutrient intake were lower than those 3 months after withdrawal of AADS with correction of metabolic acidosis; (3) no change in indices of nutritional status, but 3 months after AADS discontinuation, total body weight, lean body mass, and body mass index were significantly higher than those shown after 3 months of treatment; (4) an increase in hemoglobin concentration, hematocrit, BUN, and blood H+. The examined parameters were not significantly changed in patients treated for 9 months with standard dialysis solutions exclusively. The values of nitrogen balance obtained during AADS administration and after 3 months of AADS withdrawal were significantly higher than those obtained in the respective periods in the control group. The blood pH, pCO2, and HCO3– in the last period of the study were higher in the AADS group than in the control group. Conclusion In relatively well-nourished CAPD patients, overnight AADS administration results in increased serum concentration of amino acids without changes in other nutritional parameters. The use of AADS should be associated with increased doses of antacid medication, which abolishes the metabolic effects of acidosis that develop during AADS administration and facilitates positive nitrogen balance.

Effects of supplemental dietary lysine and methionine in a Groundnut Cake (GNC) based diets on meat and bone characteristics of broiler chickens were investigated. In a completely randomized design, a total of 168 one - day – old Arbor acre broiler chicks were randomly allocated to seven dietary treatments each in triplicate of eight birds per replicate. The Seven starter and finishers’ diets were: GNC based diets without any amino acid (lysine or methionine) supplementation (T1); GNC diet + 0.2% lysine (T2); GNC diet + 0.4% lysine (T3); GNC diet + 0.2% methionine (T4); GNC diet + 0.4% methionine (T5); GNC diet + 0.2 lysine and 0.2% methionine (T6) and GNC diet + 0.4% lysine and 0.4% methionine (T7). Experimental diets and water were offered to birds ad libitum in an experiment lasting six-week. At day 42, two birds per replicate were slaughtered, meat and bone characteristics determined. There were significant variations (P<0.05) in the crude protein (%) and ether extract (%), pH1 and pH2 of meat. Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances composition of meat at days 0, 5, and 10 were similar (P<0.05) and were not affected by dietary amino acid supplementation. Tibiotarsal index (mg/mm) of bone (22.10, 27.25, 33.35, 31.40, 28.70, 31.45 and 29.75 for broilers on T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6 and T7, respectively) were increased significantly (P<0.05) by amino acid supplementation. Significantly differences (P<0.05) were observed in the calcium, phosphorus and potassium (%) contents of broilers’ bone across treatments. Supplemental lysine and both lysine and methionine improved meat quality and bone development of broiler chickens in this study.

Over Time

Nutritional follow-up of 20 CAPD patients for 18–24 months showed a decrease in total body nitrogen, increase in total body potassium and body weight, and a decrease in protein intake over time. There was no correlation between changes in TBN and the biochemical parameters measured. Serial dietetic assessments and measurements of total body nitrogen as well as adherence to an adequate protein intake will assist in the prevention of malnutrition in CAPD patients.

The jadomycin family of natural products was first identified and characterized by Vining and co-workers at Dalhousie University in the 1990s. Herein, we report findings from a recently developed co-amino acid supplementation culture method with S. venezuelae ISP5230 using 8-aminooctanoic acid, where the major natural product was a jadomycin variant omitting an E-ring (1). These results reinforce that the 3a position is susceptible to nucleophilic addition by cellular metabolites in jadomycin biosynthesis when intramolecular cyclization is unfavorable. Further, the cytotoxicity data for several unsubstituted E-ring jadomycins are reported and discussed.
