Journal ArticleDOI
Arginine metabolism and nutrition in growth, health and disease
Guoyao Wu,Guoyao Wu,Fuller W. Bazer,Teresa A. Davis,Sung Woo Kim,Peng Li,J. Marc Rhoads,M. Carey Satterfield,Stephen B. Smith,Thomas E. Spencer,Yulong Yin +10 more
TL;DR: The results of both experimental and clinical studies indicate that Arg is a nutritionally essential amino acid (AA) for spermatogenesis, embryonic survival, fetal and neonatal growth, as well as maintenance of vascular tone and hemodynamics and novel and effective therapies for obesity, diabetes, and the metabolic syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relative contributions of acetate, lactate and glucose to lipogenesis in bovine intramuscular and subcutaneous adipose tissue.
Stephen B. Smith,John D. Crouse +1 more
TL;DR: Intramuscular adipose tissue from the fifth-eighth thoracic vertebrae region of the longissimus dorsi muscle, and portions of the overlying subcutaneous adipOSE tissue, were obtained at 16 and 18 months of age from Angus steers fed ad libitum either a corn silage or ground corn diet.
Journal ArticleDOI
Beneficial effects of l-arginine on reducing obesity: potential mechanisms and important implications for human health
Jason R. McKnight,M. Carey Satterfield,Wenjuan S. Jobgen,Stephen B. Smith,Thomas E. Spencer,Cynthia J. Meininger,Catherine J. McNeal,Guoyao Wu,Guoyao Wu +8 more
TL;DR: Recent studies indicate that l-arginine supplementation stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis and brown adipose tissue development possibly through the enhanced synthesis of cell-signaling molecules as well as the increased expression of genes that promote whole-body oxidation of energy substrates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Board-invited review: the biology and regulation of preadipocytes and adipocytes in meat animals.
Gary J. Hausman,M.V. Dodson,Kolapo M. Ajuwon,Michael J. Azain,K. M. Barnes,Le Luo Guan,Zhihua Jiang,Sylvia P Poulos,Roberto Daniel Sainz,Stephen B. Smith,Michael E. Spurlock,Jan E Novakofski,Melinda E. Fernyhough,Werner G. Bergen +13 more
TL;DR: This review is focused on current knowledge about the biology and regulation of the important cells of adipose tissue: preadipocytes and adipocytes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dietary L-arginine supplementation increases muscle gain and reduces body fat mass in growing-finishing pigs.
Bie Tan,Yulong Yin,Zhiqiang Liu,Xinguo Li,Haijun Xu,Xiangfeng Kong,Ruilin Huang,Wenjie Tang,Izuru Shinzato,Stephen B. Smith,Guoyao Wu,Guoyao Wu +11 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that dietary l-arginine supplementation beneficially promotes muscle gain and reduces body fat accretion in growing-finishing pigs is supported and has a positive impact on development of novel therapeutics to treat human obesity and enhance swine lean-tissue growth.
