TL;DR: Animal and human studies demonstrate that adequate protein nutrition is crucial for the maintenance of GSH homeostasis, and compelling evidence shows that GSH synthesis is regulated primarily by gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase activity, cysteine availability, and GSH feedback inhibition.

TL;DR: Physiological roles and relationships between the pathways of arginine synthesis and catabolism in vivo are complex and difficult to analyse, owing to compartmentalized expression of various enzymes at both organ and subcellular levels.

TL;DR: In this paper, an optimal nutritional countermeasure against space radiation-induced cytotoxicity is designed for the biological safety of astronauts, where a large body of the literature supports the notion that dietary antioxidants are useful radioprotectors.

TL;DR: Dietary supplementation with one or a mixture of these functional AA, which include arginine, cysteine, glutamine, leucine, proline, and tryptophan, may be beneficial for ameliorating health problems at various stages of the life cycle and optimizing efficiency of metabolic transformations to enhance muscle growth, milk production, egg and meat quality and athletic performance.

TL;DR: Increasing evidence shows that dietary supplementation of specific amino acids to animals and humans with malnutrition and infectious disease enhances the immune status, thereby reducing morbidity and mortality.
