Dietary protein digestion and absorption rates and the subsequent postprandial muscle protein synthetic response do not differ between young and elderly men.

20 Jul 2009 Impaired digestion and/or absorption of dietary protein lowers postprandial plasma amino acid availability and, as such, could reduce the postprandial muscle protein synthetic response in the elderly. We aimed to compare in vivo dietary protein ... Read more...

Competitive displacement of serum protein binding of radiopharmaceuticals with amino acid infusion investigated with N-isopropyl-p-123I-iodoamphetamine.

15 Jul 2009 When a therapeutic drug is competitively displaced at the binding sites of serum proteins, the free fraction of the drug will be increased, with an increase in the manifestation of pharmacologic properties. In the case of molecular imaging probes, ... Read more...

Prolonged maternal amino acid infusion in late-gestation pregnant sheep increases fetal amino acid oxidation.

12 Jul 2009 Protein supplementation during human pregnancy does not improve fetal growth and may increase small-for-gestational-age birth rates and mortality. To define possible mechanisms, sheep with twin pregnancies were infused with amino acids (AA group, n ... Read more...
