Proline plays important roles in protein synthesis and structure, metabolism (particularly the
synthesis of arginine, polyamines, and glutamate via pyrroline-5-carboxylate), and nutrition, …

Dietary supplementation of glutamine prevents intestinal dysfunction and atrophy in weanling
piglets, but the underlying mechanism(s) are largely unknown. This study was conducted …

Strigolactones ( SLs ) are carotenoid-derived phytohormones that control many aspects of
plant development, including shoot branching, leaf shape, stem secondary thickening, and …

Embryonic loss and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) are significant problems in humans
and other animals. Results from studies involving pigs and sheep have indicated that …

Dietary amino acids (AA) are crucial for animal growth, development, reproduction, lactation,
and health. However, there is a scarcity of information regarding complete composition of “…

Hydrogel electrolytes have spurred the development of flexible energy storage devices by
endowing them with liquid‐like ion transport and solid‐like mechanical elasticity. However, …

Nutrients in uterine secretions are essential for development and survival of conceptuses (embryo
and associated extraembryonic membranes) during pregnancy; however, little is …

This study tested the hypothesis that l-arginine (Arg) may stimulate cell proliferation and
prevent lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced death of intestinal cells. Intestinal porcine epithelial …

Objectives: Hyperchloremia is frequently observed in critically ill patients in the ICU. Our
study aimed to examine the association of serum chloride (Cl) levels with hospital mortality in …

This study tested the hypothesis that L-glutamine (Gln) or L-alanyl-L-glutamine (Ala-Gln)
prevents oxidant- or endotoxin-induced death of neonatal enterocytes. Enterocytes of neonatal …
