The liver plays a central role in amino acid (AA) metabolism in humans and other animals. In
all mammals, this organ synthesizes many AAs (including glutamate, glutamine, alanine …

Abstract trans-4-Hydroxy-l-proline is highly abundant in collagen (accounting for about one-
third of body proteins in humans and other animals). This imino acid (loosely called amino …

As a functional amino acid (AA), L-arginine (Arg) serves not only as a building block of
protein but also as an essential substrate for the synthesis of nitric oxide (NO), creatine …

Aquaculture is increasingly important for providing humans with high-quality animal protein
to improve growth, development and health. Farm-raised fish and shellfish now exceed …

Following its predecessor, the second edition of Amino Acids: Biochemistry and Nutrition
presents exhaustive coverage of amino acids in the nutrition, metabolism and health of …

Both poultry meat and eggs provide high-quality animal protein [containing sufficient
amounts and proper ratios of amino acids (AAs)] for human consumption and, therefore, play …

Consumption of high-quality animal protein plays an important role in improving human
nutrition, growth, development, and health. With an exponential growth of the global …

Amino acids (AAs) are the building blocks of proteins that have both structural and metabolic
functions in humans and other animals. In mammals, birds, fish, and crustaceans …

Abstract Glutamate (Glu) and glutamine (Gln) comprise a large proportion of total amino
acids (AAs) in fish in the free and protein-bound forms. Both Glu and Gln are synthesized de …

Aquatic animals have particularly high requirements for dietary amino acids (AAs) for health,
survival, growth, development, and reproduction. These nutrients are usually provided from …
