Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of amino acid composition in proteins of animal tissues and foods as pre-column o-phthaldialdehyde derivatives by HPLC with fluorescence detection.
TL;DR: The OPA method provides a useful tool to determine AA composition in proteins of animal tissues and foods and offers the following advantages: simple procedures for preparation of samples, reagents, and mobile-phase solutions; rapid pre-column formation of OPA-AA derivatives and their efficient separation at room temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glycine is a nutritionally essential amino acid for maximal growth of milk-fed young pigs
Weiwei Wang,Weiwei Wang,Zhaolai Dai,Zhenlong Wu,Gang Lin,Gang Lin,Sichao Jia,Shengdi Hu,Sudath Dahanayaka,Guoyao Wu,Guoyao Wu +10 more
TL;DR: Results indicate, for the first time, that glycine is a nutritionally essential amino acid for maximal protein accretion in milk-fed piglets, and have important implications for designing improved formulas to feed human infants, particularly low birth weight and preterm infants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Amino acids are major energy substrates for tissues of hybrid striped bass and zebrafish
TL;DR: Glutamine plus glutamine plus leucine contribute to ~80% of ATP production in the liver, proximal intestine, kidney, and skeletal muscle of zebrafish and HSB, the first direct evidence that the major tissues of fish use AAs as primary energy sources instead of carbohydrates or lipids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Safety of long-term dietary supplementation with L-arginine in rats
Ying Yang,Ying Yang,Zhenlong Wu,Sichao Jia,Sudath Dahanayaka,Shuo Feng,Cynthia J. Meininger,Catherine J. McNeal,Guoyao Wu +8 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that dietary supplementation with l-arginine is safe in rats for at least 91 days, and these findings help guide clinical studies to determine the safety of long-term oral administration of l- arginine to humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of yeast cell wall on the growth performance and gut health of broilers challenged with aflatoxin B1 and necrotic enteritis
TL;DR: The results suggest that with the concurrent challenges of AF and NE, the YCW can partially protect the growth performance and intestinal health of broilers.
