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 …

We analyzed the composition of amino acids (AAs) in oligopeptides, proteins, and the free
pool, as well as creatine, agmatine, polyamines, carnosine, anserine, and glutathione, in …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Dietary polyamines and amino acids (AAs) are crucial for human growth, development,
reproduction, and health. However, the scientific literature shows large variations in …

Consumption of high-quality animal protein plays an important role in improving human
