TL;DR: Predictive functional profiling of microbial communities by PICRUSt confirmed that dietary lysine restriction affected gut microbiome, which might further mediate amino acid metabolism, membrane transport, and endocrine system.

TL;DR: YP supplementation in the diets of weaned piglets appears to increase the incidence of diarrhea and has adverse effects on intestinal morphology and barrier function.

TL;DR: It is suggested that Lys deficiency impairs AA metabolism and causes apoptosis, and Lys-Lys dipeptide serves as a Lys source and alleviates Lys deficiency induced cellular imbalance.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the pigs feeding the MP diet could catch up to the growth performance and the LDM weight of the pigs fed the AP diet, and the underlying mechanism may be partly due to the alteration in energy status, modulation of muscle fiber characteristics and mTORC1 activation as well as its downstream effectors in skeletal muscle of different locations in growing-finishing pigs.

TL;DR: The results indicate that a 14% CP diet supplemented with crystalline AA may not transport enough AA into the body and maintain growth performance of piglets, however, a reduction of dietary 17% CP may reduce the excretion of nitrogen into the environment while supporting the development of piglet.
