Chemical compound and disease context of methionine

 

Biological context of methionine

 

Anatomical context of methionine

  • These results provide a biochemical explanation of equimolar incorporation of HMB and DL-methionine (DL-Met) into chick hepatocyte protein in that the two HMB enzymes can simultaneously convert both HMB isomers to L-Met while only one enzyme, D-2-amino acid oxidase, converts D-Met to L-Met [21].
  • A direct relationship between dietary copper, and the concentration of copper in livers or plasmas was demonstrated in chicks fed either the basal diet or the basal diet supplemented with 1.5% DL-methionine [1].
  • Performance, breast meat yield and abdominal fat deposition of male broiler chickens fed diets supplemented with DL-methionine or DL-methionine hydroxy analogue free acid [22].
  • In week 21, all goats were injected intraperitoneally with 1 g/d DL-methionine for 5 d to establish the effects of methionine under the conditions of udder stress induced by hand milking on the second day [23].
  • These results indicate that DL-methionine and ammonium sulfate accelerated urinary Ca excretion and reduced Ca retention in the extracellular fluid [24].
 

Associations of methionine with other chemical compounds

  • L-Cystine was substituted for DL-methionine to supplement the casein component [25].
  • Therefore, Met2 is not essential for biologic activity and substitution of Lys is synthetically advantageous [26].
  • Chicks fed the basal diet had increased growth when given supplements of either folic acid, choline Cl, or DL-methionine, but not vitamin B12 [27].
  • L-Lysine monohydrochloride was supplemented with or without DL-methionine twice daily through the reticular groove, except in Trial 4, in which N supplements were infused through duodenal cannulas [28].
  • Male and female weanling Sprague-Dawley rats were fed either an AIN-76A diet or a modification of the AIN-76A diet containing no added DL-methionine but with higher levels of vitamins, fluoride and magnesium than in the AIN-76A diet [29].
  • There were no significant differences in homocysteine remethylation or methionine transsulfuration and transmethylation between the groups at clinical phase 1 [30].
  • Elucidating the relationship between lysine and methionine synthesis may lead to new ways of producing transgenic crop plants containing increased methionine and lysine levels, thus improving their nutritional quality [31].
  • The methionine used by the GIT was metabolized into homocysteine (31%), CO(2) (40%), or tissue protein (29%) [32].
  • In certain species, the fidelity of translation of methionine codons requires a discrimination mechanism that is independent of the information contained in the anticodon [33].
 

Gene context of methionine

  • Most chromaffin cells which stained for tyrosine hydroxylase contained VIP-like immunoreactivity, whereas methionine- (Met-) and leucine- (Leu-) enkephalin-like immunoreactivity was detected in about 40% of the cells revealed by the anti-tyrosine hydroxylase serum [34].
  • D. alata feeding did not significantly change hepatic superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and glutathione reductase, which were adaptively enhanced by Met feeding [14].
  • In addition, Met- and Leu-enkephalins (10(-5) M) did not alter the production of corticosterone induced by ACTH [34].
  • The hepatic catalase in the Met + D2 and Met + D3 groups was significantly elevated compared to that in the Met group [14].
  • Protein quality measured as protein efficiency ratio (PER) gave low values for the non-supplemented lupin proteins (1.34 semi-sweet variety; 1.53 water-extracted seeds; 1.19 oil-cake; 3.09 casein), but the PER's were improved by the addition of 0.2% DL-methionine to the diets (3.05, 2.69, 2,81, respectively) [35].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of methionine

  • In accordance, a significant decrease of FIGLU excretion was observed in the patients after oral administration of DL-methionine for 4 days [36].
  • At birth, the pups from dams fed the low-protein diets supplemented with 0.2% dl-methionine or greater were significantly smaller than those of the dams fed the diet containing 18% protein [37].
  • In Trial 1, postruminal administration of 6 g of DL-methionine/d increased ADG, feed intake, gain/feed, and N retention compared with a control group receiving N-free supplement [38].
  • In the first experiment, Met (dl-methionine) and Lys (l-lysine-HCl) were added to diets used in continuous culture bioreactors to estimate optimal concentrations for use in subsequent in vivo experiments [39].
