Interactions among the branched-chain amino acids and their effects on methionine utilization in growing pigs: effects on plasma amino- and keto-acid concentrations and branched-chain keto-acid dehydrogenase activity.

TL;DR: Compared with those on the balanced diet, pigs fed on methionine-limiting diets had significantly lower plasma methionin concentrations in the postprandial but not in thePostabsorptive state, and there was no effect of either leucine or a mixture of all three BCAA fed in excess on plasma methamphetamineionine concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effects of branched-chain amino acid interactions on growth performance, blood metabolites, enzyme kinetics and transcriptomics in weaned pigs.

TL;DR: Excess dietary Leu increased the catabolism of BCAA mainly through posttranscriptional mechanisms, and linear increases in the activity of basal branched-chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase in the liver confirmed these findings.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of dietary amino acid patterns on the free amino acid contents of blood and muscle of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdnerii R.).

TL;DR: Although both diets apparently met the essential amino acid requirements of the trout and were isoenergetic, they nevertheless had different nutritional values for trout, which were affected differently by changes in dietary amino acids.

Isoleucine requirement of growing (25 to 45 kg) pigs

TL;DR: The results of these experiments suggest that the true digestible Ile requirement of grower (25 to 45 kg) pigs is 0.50% of the diet, or 1.46 g/Mcal of metabolizable energy, somewhat higher than the 1.38 g/ Mcal metabolizableEnergy estimated by the 1998 National Research Council Subcommittee on Swine Nutrition.
