The effect of dietary lysine to arginine ratio on cholesterol kinetics in rabbits

Atherosclerosis
M J Gibney

Abstract

The effect of varying the compositions of dietary proteins on the relative cholesterolaemic effects of animal and vegetable proteins was investigated in rabbits. In experiments using high fat diets, the amino acid compositions of dietary proteins (soya or casein) were altered by blending them 1:1 (w/w) with gelatin. This reduced the differences in amino acid compositions and also made soya more and casein less hypercholesterolaemic. In experiment 2a, soya protein was compared with dried skim milk in low fat diets and in experiment 2b, these proteins were supplemented with lysine or arginine, respectively, so that the lysine:arginine ratio of soya was similar to dried skim milk and vice-versa. Serum cholesterol was significantly higher in milk-fed than soya-fed rabbits and was not influenced by reversing the lysine:arginine ratio. In the three experiments, parameters of cholesterol kinetics were estimated from the die-away curve of injected [4 14-C]cholesterol. There were no significant effects of diet on the parameters of cholesterol kinetics. It was concluded that the lysine:arginine ratio of the diet is not the major determinant of the cholesterolaemic properties of proteins, but that the overall amino acid composition is pri...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
