Metabolism is one of the corner stones of nutritional science. As biology enters the post-genomic era and with functional genomics beginning to take off, we anticipate that the study of metabolism will play an increasingly important role in helping t

BACKGROUND We proposed previously that the mean lysine requirement value is approximately 30 mg * kg(-)(1) * d(-)(1) rather than the proposed 1985 FAO/WHO/UNU estimate of the upper range of the requirement, which is 12 mg * kg(-)(1) * d(-)(1). OBJECT

The availability of cysteine is thought to be the rate limiting factor for synthesis of the tripeptide glutathione (GSH), based on studies in rodents. GSH status is compromised in various disease states and by certain medications leading to increased

In this introductory paper to the symposium, we consider why L-glutamate (GLU) is such an abundant biomolecule. We begin with a brief discussion of the prebiotic dawn of events and some evolutionary features of GLU in the biological and metabolic wor

L-5-oxoproline (OP), an intermediate of the gamma-glutamyl cycle of glutathione synthesis and degradation, may serve as a probe for the state of glutathione kinetics. We explored the whole-body carbon and nitrogen kinetics of OP in five male healthy

We have investigated whether there is a net contribution of lysine synthesized de novo by the gastrointestinal microflora to lysine homeostasis in six adults. On two separate occasions an adequate diet was given for a total of 11 days, and a 24-h (12
