Dietary amino acids fed in free form and as protein components do not differently affect postprandial plasma insulin, glucagon, growth hormone and corticosterone responses in rats
Abstract:This study examined, whether the postprandial fate of dietary amino acids from different amino acid sources is regulated by the responses of insulin, glucagon, corticosterone and growth hormone (GH). Male Wistar rats were cannulated in the vena jugularis and assigned to dietary groups. The diets contained 21% casein or the same amino acids in free form. In the free amino acid diets, methionine level was varied between the groups. The feed was supplied in two distinct meals. In previous experiments it was estab… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
