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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inflammatory Links Between High Fat Diets and Diseases.
TL;DR: This paper will review the recent scientific literature about HFD-induced inflammation and subsequent development of diseases and cancer, with an emphasis on mechanisms involved.
Journal ArticleDOI
Leucine nutrition in animals and humans: mTOR signaling and beyond.
TL;DR: Leucine activates signaling factor of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) to promote protein synthesis in skeletal muscle and in adipose tissue, and is also a major regulator of the mTOR sensitive response of food intake to high protein diet.
Journal ArticleDOI
L-Arginine stimulates proliferation and prevents endotoxin-induced death of intestinal cells
Bie Tan,Yulong Yin,Xiangfeng Kong,Xiangfeng Kong,Peng Li,Xilong Li,Haijun Gao,Xinguo Li,Ruilin Huang,Guoyao Wu +9 more
TL;DR: A protective effect of Arg is demonstrated against LPS-induced enterocyte damage through mechanisms involving mTOR and TLR4 signaling pathways, as well as intracellular protein turnover.
Journal ArticleDOI
