It is widely known that branched chain amino acids (BCAA) are not only elementary
components for building muscle tissue but also participate in increasing protein synthesis in …

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 …

Abstract l-Glutamate (Glu) has traditionally not been considered as a nutrient needed in
diets for humans and other animals (including swine) due to the unsubstantiated assumption …

Amino acids (AA) are not only building blocks of protein but are also key regulators of
metabolic pathways in animals. Understanding the fate of AA is crucial to optimize utilization …

Background Under current dietary regimens, milk production by lactating sows is insufficient
to sustain the maximal growth of their piglets. As precursors of glutamate and glutamine as …

Dietary supplementation with branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) to lactating sows has
been reported to enhance their milk production, but the underlying mechanisms remain …

The mammary gland, a unique exocrine organ, is responsible for milk synthesis in
mammals. Neonatal growth and health are predominantly determined by quality and …

Background Branched‐chain amino acids (BCAAs: isoleucine, leucine, and valine) and
aromatic amino acids (AAAs: phenylalanine and tyrosine) are hypothesized to influence …

Background: Reducing dietary Crude Protein (CP) and supplementing with certain Amino
Acids (AAs) has been known as a potential solution to improve Nitrogen (N) efficiency in …

The mammary gland requires the uptake of AA for milk protein synthesis during lactation.
The L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1, encoded by SLC7A5), found in many different …
