Catabolism Dominates the First-Pass Intestinal Metabolism of Dietary Essential Amino Acids in Milk Protein-Fed Piglets
TL;DR: It is concluded that roughly one third of dietary intake of EAA is consumed in first-pass metabolism by the intestine and that amino acid catabolism by the mucosal cells is quantitatively greater than amino acid incorporation into mucosal protein.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dispensable and Indispensable Amino Acids for Humans
TL;DR: The traditional nutritional definition of the dispensable and indispensable amino acids for humans is compared with categorizations based on amino acid metabolism and function and an argument in favor of the critical importance of nonessential and conditionally essential amino acids to physiological function is developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Do the Differences between the Amino Acid Compositions of Acute-Phase and Muscle Proteins Have a Bearing on Nitrogen Loss in Traumatic States?
Journal ArticleDOI
Intestinal Glutamate Metabolism
TL;DR: The results imply that dietary glutamate has an important functional role in the gut, and these functions are apparently different from those of arterial glutamine, the substrate that has received the most attention.
Journal ArticleDOI
Amino acid composition of human milk is not unique.

TL;DR: The milk amino acid patterns of the human and elephant, both slow-growing species, were dissimilar, and the amino acid pattern of human milk seems unrelated to growth rate.
