The thermogenic, hormonal, and metabolic effects of intravenous nutrition were examined by administering a complete total parenteral nutrition (TPN) mixture to 11 subjects, and the relative contributions of the glucose and amino acid components of the mixture were evaluated by administering these nutrients separately (n = 7 and n = 6, respectively). The complete TPN mixture caused a 22.9% rise in resting energy expenditure (REE), which significantly exceeded that associated with glucose (10.4% P < 0.02). The rise in REE produced by the amino acids (11.5%) did not differ significantly from that associated with administration of the TPN or glucose. The rise in REE associated with the TPN was almost exactly equal to the sum of the rises associated with the separate components of the mixture (22.9% and 22.0%, respectively), indicating that glucose and amino acids contributed equally to the thermogenic effect of the TPN mixture. In contrast, although the amino acid component of the TPN mixture was associated with small but significant reductions in plasma free fatty acid and glycerol concentration and with small increases in plasma insulin concentration, the effects of the complete TPN mixture were significantly greater and attributable to the glucose component.

Raised plasma free fatty acid (FFA) levels effectively impede glucose uptake in vivo, thereby conserving plasma glucose and sparing glycogen. To test whether FFA have any effect on blood amino acid levels, we infused Intralipid plus heparin or saline into healthy volunteers under four different experimental conditions: A) overnight fast; B) euglycemic hyperinsulinemia (approximately 100 microU/ml); C) hyperglycemic (approximately 200 mg/100 ml) hyperinsulinemia (approximately 50 microU/ml); and D) hyperglycemic (approximately 300 mg/100 ml) normoinsulinemia (approximately 20 microU/ml). In the fasting state (A), lipid infusion was associated with lower blood levels of most amino acids, both branched chain and glucogenic. This effect, however, could not be ascribed to lipid infusion alone, because plasma insulin levels were also stimulated. The clamp studies (B, C, and D) allowed to assess the influence of lipid on blood amino acid levels at similar plasma insulin and glucose levels. It was thus observed that lipid infusion has a significant hypoaminoacidemic effect of its own under both euglycemic (B) and hyperglycemic (C) conditions; this effect involved many glucogenic amino acids (alanine, glycine, phenylalanine, serine, threonine, and cystine) but none of the branched-chain amino acids (leucine, isoleucine, and valine). In marked contrast, normoinsulinemic hyperglycemia (D), with or without lipid infusion, caused no change in the blood level of any measured amino acid. We conclude that lipid infusion has a hypoaminoacidemic action. We also suggest that this action is permitted by insulin and may involve specific metabolic interactions (e.g., reduced availability of glucose-derived pyruvate or glycerophosphate) as well as enhanced uptake by the liver.

Abstract Livestock animals are important dual-purpose models that benefit both agricultural and biomedical research. The neonatal pig is an appropriate model for the human infant to assess long-term effects of early life nutrition on growth and metabolic outcomes. Previously we have demonstrated that prematurity blunts the feeding-induced stimulation of translation initiation and protein synthesis in skeletal muscle of neonatal pigs. The objective of this study was to determine whether reduced sensitivity to insulin and/or amino acids drives this blunted response. Pigs were delivered by caesarean section at preterm (PT, 103 d gestation) or at term (T, 112 d gestation) and fed parenterally for 4 d. On day 4, pigs were subject to euinsulinemic-euaminoacidemic-euglycemic (FAST), hyperinsulinemic-euaminoacidemic-euglycemic (INS), or euinsulinemic-hyperaminoacidemic-euglycemic (AA) clamps for 120 min, yielding six treatments: PT-FAST (n = 7), PT-INS (n = 9), PT-AA (n = 9), T-FAST (n = 8), T-INS (n = 9), and T-AA (n = 9). A flooding dose of L-[4-3H]Phe was injected into pigs 30 min before euthanasia. Birth weight and relative body weight gain were lower in PT than T pigs (P &lt; 0.001). Plasma insulin concentration was increased from ~3 to ~100 µU/mL in INS compared to FAST and AA pigs (P &lt; 0.001); plasma BCAA concentration was increased from ~250 to ~1,000 µmol/L in AA compared to FAST and INS pigs (P &lt; 0.001). Despite achieving similar insulin and amino acid levels, longissimus dorsi AKT phosphorylation, mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR)·Rheb abundance, mTOR activation, and protein synthesis were lower in PT-INS than T-INS pigs (Table 1). Although amino-acid induced dissociation of Sestrin2 from GATOR2 was not affected by prematurity, mTOR·RagA abundance, mTOR·RagC abundance, mTOR activation, and protein synthesis were lower in PT-AA than T-AA pigs. The impaired capacity of premature skeletal muscle to respond to insulin or amino acids and promote protein synthesis likely contributes to reduced lean mass accretion. Research was supported by NIH and USDA.

Intravenous infusion of 1� 5 mg adrenaline over 30 min into adult Merino wethers (50 kg body weight), increased glucose, lactate, and free fatty acid (FFA) concentrations in plasma much more than did a single rapid intravenous injection of the same amount. There was no increase in plasma insulin concentration during adrenaline infusion or after adrenaline injection.

Abstract The oocytes of the marine goby Pomatoschistus minutus were analyzed for their amino acid content. Most of the amino acids exist as protein, only a little part is free or peptide-bound. Among the protein-bound amino acids, high levels of glutamic acid, proline, alanine, aspartic acid, valine and leucine were detected. These represent more than 60% of the protein amino acids. Among the free acids, glutamic acid, serine and alanine, are dominant. There are no certain proofs of the occurrence of peptide pools in the oocytes of Pomatoschistus minutus.

We studied the effectiveness, tolerance to, and beneficial metabolic effects of amino acid dialysate over an intermediate period in six CAPD patients. Two liters of 1% amino acid solution (Amino-Dianeal) were alternated with dialysate containing glucose. After four weeks there were significant increases in BUN (from 64 to 102 mg%), total body nitrogen (from 1333 to 1380 g), serum transferrin (from 175 to 222 mg%) and anion gap (from 15.1 to 17.3). Initially, there was a significant rise in HDL cholesterol, however, this was not sustained. No significant change was detected in total-body potassium, fasting serum albumin, triglyceride, insulin, glucagon, electrolytes, anthropometric measurements and daily ingestion of calories and proteins. During the study individual fasting, plasma amino acid levels showed significant increments in respect to histidine, tryptophan and glycine but alanine decreased. Several essential amino acids continued to show values below normal. Two hours after consumption of breakfast and concurrent infusion of the amino acid solution, the plasma levels of the amino acids in the dialysate peaked at emia, which develops in almost onehalf of the CAPD patients (7), and the significant weight gain observed in some of them. Furthermore, the daily losses of albumin and amino acids in the dialysate may induce protein malnutrition, especially if these losses are not replaced by an adequate daily protein intake. The presence of protein malnutrition in CAPD patients is indicated by the low serum albumin and total protein, and by the decrease in total body nitrogen over one year of CAPD (8).

1 Rates of protein synthesis have been measured from the incorporation of 57 mg of l-[1-13C]leucine/kg for 90 min into muscle tissue and colorectal tumours removed at surgery from cancer patients. 2. For the 20 h preceding surgery and during the measurement of protein synthesis, the patients received intravenous saline, conventional intravenous nutrition (0.2 g of N and 103 non-protein kJ/kg body weight) or intravenous nutrition enriched with the branched-chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine and valine (0.2 g of N with 30% from branched-chain amino acids and 103 non-protein kJ/kg body weight). 3. Conventional intravenous nutrition resulted in a significant stimulation of the rate of protein synthesis in both muscle tissue (2.64 ± 0.75%/day versus 1.78 ± 0.51%/day in saline control, means ± SD) and tumour tissue (43.9 ± 10.3%/day versus 22.6 ± 5.6%/day in saline control). 4. Pre-operative nutrition enriched with branched-chain amino acids was less effective than conventional intravenous nutrition in stimulating protein synthesis in both muscle and tumour. The rates of protein synthesis were 2.12 ± 0.41%/day in muscle and 33.7 ± 5.3%/day in the tumours. 5. The expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen in sections of the tumours showed changes with intravenous feeding of the two different amino acid mixtures that were similar to the changes in protein synthesis, and these two variables were significantly correlated. This is evidence that feeding with conventional mixtures and mixtures enriched with branched-chain amino acids stimulates tumour growth. 6. In this study the mixture enriched with branched-chain amino acids provided no clear advantage for cancer patients, since a smaller response to branched-chain amino acids was observed in both tumours and host muscle tissue.

Отрасль птицеводства играет ведущую роль в обеспечении населения полноценными продуктами питания. Признавая тот факт, что продуктивность сельскохозяйственной птицы напрямую зависит от уровня кормления, учёным приходится изыскивать резервы кормовой базы для полноценного обеспечения гранулы комбикорма всеми необходимыми питательными элементами. Нами был изучен аминокислотный профиль многокомпонентного регуляторного комплекса «Байпас», который полностью восполняет потребность птицы в аминокислотах. Нашими исследованиями установлено, что ядро аминокислотной составляющей кормовой добавки представляют три аминокислоты: аргинин, глицин и лизин. В целом кормовая добавка содержит 13 аминокислот, что положительно отразится на усвоении питательных элементов комбикорма, а, следовательно, на продуктивности сельскохозяйственной птицы. The poultry-rearing industry plays a leading role in providing the population with balanced food products. Recognizing the fact that the productivity of agricultural poultry directly depends on the level of feeding, scientists have to find reserves of the fodder base to fully provide the compound animal feedstuff pellets with all the necessary nutrients. We have studied the amino acid profile of the multicomponent regulatory complex "Baipas", which fully meets the need for amino acids in poultry. Our researches have found that the nucleus of the amino acid component of the feed additive is represented by three amino acids: arginine, glycine and lysine. In general, the feed additive contains 13 amino acids, which will positively affect the absorption of nutritional elements of compound animal feedstuff, and, therefore, the productivity of poultry.

Abstract Colostrum intake potentiates piglet survival by transfer of immune factors. Additionally, colostrum also contains nutritional and bioactive molecules which could promote piglet’s growth and development. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of colostrum intake amount during the first 24h on plasma insulin, glucose, protein, and amino acid (AA) concentrations. Two female piglets were selected from 8 litters (n = 16) at birth and fed 10% (COL10) or 20% (COL20) colostrum based on birth weight over 12 bottle feedings occurring every 2h. Colostrum was collected from multiple sows and mixed to create a homogeneous pool. At birth and 24h, blood sample were collected, plasma separated and used to measure insulin, glucose, total protein, and AA concentrations. Analysis of the variance (PROC MIXED, SAS v.9.4) was used to evaluate significant (P≤0.05) differences between colostrum dose and time (birth vs. 24h). Colostrum intake did not influence plasma insulin at 24h (P=0.54). Glucose was higher at 24h (P&lt; 0.001), but did not differ between COL10 and COL20 piglets (P=0.74). Total protein was greater at 24h (P&lt; 0.001) as well as in COL20 compared to COL10 (P=0.006). Non-essential AAs (Ala, Asn, Asp, Cys, Gly and Glu) were reduced at 24h compared to birth (P&lt; 0.03), while essential AAs (His, Ile, Met, Phe, Trp and Val) were increased after 24h of colostrum feeding (P&lt; 0.05). At 24h, COL20 piglets had greater Ile and Met (P&lt; 0.03) and tended (P=0.08) to have greater Leu and Phe. In conclusion, colostrum intake increases glycemia as well as total circulating proteins, and the dose of colostrum is related with greater circulation of total protein and essential AAs.
