A protein consists of amino acids (AA) linked by peptide bonds. Dietary protein is hydrolyzed
by proteases and peptidases to generate AA, dipeptides, and tripeptides in the lumen of the …

Loss of pregnancy can occur at many different stages of gestation and for a variety of causes
but clearly produces a negative impact for reproductive and economic performances of dairy …

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 …

Amino acids (AA) have enormous physiological importance, serving as building blocks for
proteins and substrates for synthesis of low-molecular-weight substances. Based on growth …

Leucine (Leu) is a nutritionally essential branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) in animal
nutrition. It is usually one of the most abundant amino acids in high-quality protein foods …

Maternal nutrition during gestation, especially dietary protein intake, is a key determinant in
embryonic survival, growth, and development. Low maternal dietary protein intake can …

The mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) is the key signaling hub that
regulates cellular protein homeostasis, growth, and proliferation in health and disease. As a …

Studies of protein nutrition and biochemistry require reliable methods for analysis of amino
acid (AA) composition in polypeptides of animal tissues and foods. Proteins are hydrolyzed …

Protein forms an essential component of a healthy diet in humans to support both growth
and maintenance. During pregnancy, an exceptional stage of life defined by rapid growth …

Reproduction is vital for producing offspring and preserving genetic resources. However,
incidences of many reproductive disorders (eg miscarriage, intrauterine growth restriction …
