For decades, great strides have been made in the field of immunometabolism. A plethora of
evidence ranging from basic mechanisms to clinical transformation has gradually embarked …

Metabolic pathways have been studied for a while in eukaryotic cells. During glycolysis,
glucose enters into the cells through the Glut1 transporter to be phosphorylated and …

Sir David Cuthbertson was the first to define metabolic alterations in post-aggression
syndrome (PAS). From basic measurements of nitrogen loss and total protein …

A growing body of evidence indicates that cellular metabolism is involved in immune cell
functions, including cytokine production. Serine is a nutritionally non-essential amino acid …

This book represents the proceedings of the 37th Symposium of the Biological Council and
its Coordinating Committee for Symposia on Drug Action. In recent years the excitatory …

Posttranslational modifications of proteins often perform a key role in the biological
functioning of proteins. Some of these modifications also change the immunogenicity of …

There is little wonder in the fact that the investigation of amino acids is of fundamental
interest to scientists from so many diversified fields. If amino acids were only basic …

A deficiency of dietary protein or amino acids has long been known to impair immune
function and increase the susceptibility of animals and humans to infectious disease …

In this chapter, we discuss in detail our investigations on the potential for neuropeptide
regulation of tnucosal immunity. This includes both in vitro and in vivo studies involving …

The breakdown of nutrients into the critical energy source ATP is the general purpose of
cellular metabolism and is essential for sustaining life. Similarly, the immune system is …
