Tryptophan (Trp) is an essential amino acid that cannot be synthesized by animals. It has
been characterized into two different isomers, levorotation-Trp (L-Trp) and dextrorotation-Trp …

Little is known whether a combination Ile and added Val improves the growth of pigs offered
very low protein (VLP) diets through changes in nutrients digestibility and gut microbiota …

The 5-hydroxytryptamine 3 (5-HT3) receptor belongs to the pentameric ligand-gated cation
channel superfamily. Humans have five different 5-HT3 receptor subunits: A to E. The 5-HT3 …

Objective Angiotensin‐converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) plays a vital role in regulating intestinal
tryptophan (Trp) transport and maintaining Trp homeostasis. This study aimed to investigate …

Valine (Val) alone or in combination with isoleucine (Ile) improves the growth under severe
protein restriction; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. In this study, we …

Gut microbiome and heredity are two important factors affecting the intramuscular fat (IMF) of
cattle, excluding age, sex, and nutrition. This study aimed at deciphering these two …

Alginate oligosaccharides (AOS) derived from sodium alginate are novel prebiotics with
multiple biological functions. Low birth weight (LBW) is a public health concern worldwide …

Prepartum exercise (PA) has been proposed as a strategy for the peripartum management
of dairy cows; however, the mechanism by which PA affects metabolism has not been …

The aim of this experiment was to elucidate the metabolic ramifications of tryptophan
supplementation in the context of high-carbohydrate diet-feeding, which is important for …

Ketosis, a commonly observed energy metabolism disorder in dairy cows during the
peripartal period, is distinguished by increased concentrations of β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) in …
