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 …

In Pisum sativum, distinct chloroplast and cytosolic forms of glutamine synthetase (GS) are
encoded by homologous nuclear genes that are differentially expressed in vivo (Tingey, SV …

Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have proven themselves to be useful in biomedical
research; however, previous reports were insufficient to address the potential dangers of …

L-glutamine (Gln) is the most abundant amino acid (AA) in the plasma and skeletal muscle
of poultry, and L-glutamate (Glu) is among the most abundant AAs in the whole bodies of all …

The glutamine synthetase isozymes of Drosophila melanogaster offer an attractive model for
the study of the molecular genetics and evolution of a small gene family encoding enzymatic …

In the adult CNS, axons fail to regenerate after injury. Among the cell interactions that lead to
this failure are those developed with astrocytes. In an effort to elucidate the mechanisms …

Mitochondrial glutamine synthetase (EC 6.3. 1.2) is the primary ammonia-detoxifying
enzyme in avian liver and is therefore analogous in function to carbamoyl-phosphate …

This study determined the oxidation of amino acids, glucose and fatty acid in enterocytes of
developing chickens. Jejunal enterocytes were isolated from 0-, 7-, 21-, and 42-d-old broiler …

The expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)‐mRNA during mouse brain
development and in astroglial primary cultures has been investigated by using two …

Most studies in molecular evolution have focused on how gene mutations, and the
consequent amino acid substitutions in the enzymes they encode, may alter the metabolism …
