The mortality and morbidity rate of hemodialysis patients (HD) remain high. Among many factors, protein and calorie malnutrition has been shown to be a major risk factor for increased mortality in the HD patients population. Malnutrition can be caused by insufficient amino acid intake, nutrient losses in dialysate, oxidant stress and muscle catabolism. In this study, we evaluated the association of markers of nutritional status and essential amino acids intake in HD patients. We investigated nutritional status of 41 HD patients (mean age: $64.2\;{\pm}\;11.5\;y$, men: 24, women: 27) by measuring anthropometric, biochemical parameters and food intakes by using 24 hr recall methods. Subject's total energy intake and total protein intake were $1,648.0\;{\pm}\;397.31\;kcal/day,\;79.2\;{\pm}\;27.2\;g/day$:, respectively. The animal protein intake was $42.7\;{\pm}\;22.1\;g/day$, essential amino acids intake was $23.4\;{\pm}\;9.92\;g/day$, and the ratio of essential amino acids to total protein intake was $29.6\;{\pm}\;5.42%$. There were significantly positive correlation between muscle mass and lean body mass with serum creatinine level (r=0.435, p<0.01; r=0.435, p<0,01). There were also significant positive correlation in muscle mass and lean body mass with pre hemodialysis blood urea nitrogen (preHD BUN) (r=0.329, p<0.05; r=0.329, p<0.05). There were no significant correlation in total energy intake and total protein intake per kg ideal body weight (IBW) to muscle mass and lean body mass. However, there were significantly positive correlation between the ratio of essential amino acids and muscle mass and lean body mass (r=0.368, p<0.05; r=0.405, p<0.01). And serum hematocrit concentration was positively correlated with the ratio of essential amino acids (r=0.032, p<0.05). The results of this study indicate that strong associations exist in essential amino acid intakes with malnutrition than total protein intakes in HD patient. In conclusion, specialized nutrition education should be necessary to efficiently improve the quality of protein intakes.

In this study, we analyzed the amino acid contents of corn to provide basic data for promoting the use of proteins in livestock. The present study was done to examine the amino acid contents of the corn 'Gwangpyungok' grown in a natural field at the National Institute of Animal Science, Cheonan province, Korea, in 2016. Gwangpyungok, which is Korean corn cultivar, was used as the sample to provide basic data for promoting the use of proteins in livestock by analyzing the amino acid contents of each part of corn as a breed that is adaptable to the environment of Korea. The asparagine acid content was the highest in the leaf blade among the parts of corn, and the glutamic acid content was the highest in the corn ear, stem, leaf sheath, corn bract and inflorescence. The essential amino acids in the corn ear, leaf blade and inflorescence revealed that their contents were in the following order: leucine > phenylalanine > valine > threonine > lysine > isoleucine, and in the inflorescences and stem, leaf sheath and corn bract, their contents were in following order: leucine > valine > phenylalanine > threonine > lysine > isoleucine. Therefore, further research on the nutritional aspects of forage must be performed because livestock growth is influenced by the nutritive value of the various parts of forage.

The aim of this study was conducted to investigate the proximate and nutritional compositions including mineral, vitamin, amino acids and fatty acids in Korean yam (Dioscorea batatas $D_{ECNE}.$). Carbohydrate (68.1%) possessed the large single constituent of yam. Small amounts of crude protein (16.9%), crude ash (5.8%) and crude fat (2.0%) contents were found. Yam was found to be good sources of essential minerals such as K (1295.5 mg/100 g), Mg (115.3 mg/100 g), Na (99.0 mg/100 g) and Ca (56.5 mg/100 g) but Zn (0.3 mg/100 g) content was low. Relatively abundant vitamin $B_1$ (11.5 mg/100g) could be observed while vitamin A, $B_3$ and $B_6$ were not found. The amino acid analysis revealed that the yam was superior with respect to glutamic acid (1770.6 mg%), lysine (1210.6 mg%) and urea (550.9 mg%). Essential amino acids were calculated to be 2954.5 mg%. The amino acid profiles showed that yam to be limiting in valine and leusine. Palmitic acid and linoleic acid were the most predominant fatty acids with the value of 31.5% and 41.5%, respectively. And the polyunsaturated fatty acids including linoleic acid and linolenic acid were present in a large quantities in yam.

발아현미를 생산하기 위하여 현미를 물에 침지, 키토산을 젖산에 용해하여 침지, 키토산을 글루탐산에 용해하여 침지 하였으며, 발아시키지 않은 현미와 아미노산 및 총 단백질 함량을 비교 분석하였다. 키토산을 50 ppm 되게 5 mM glutamic acid에 용해하여 침지액으로 사용한 경우 가장 높은 alanine, serine, lysine, isoleucine, methionine 함량의 증진과 총 유리아미노산 함량의 증진을 보였다. 또한 total soluble protein의 함량은 발아하지 않은 현미에 비하여 발아한 현미가 모두 낮았다. 특히 CG구는 물발아나 CL 발아시 현저히 감소되던 serine의 함량을 오히려 증진시겼다. 모든 발아구에서 aspartic acid 함량은 현저히 감소하였다. 이는 발아 과정에 의해 aspartic acid가 alanine, lysine, isoleucine, methionine 등으로 전환된 것에 기인된 것이라 여겨진다. 이상의 결과를 종합하면 현미발아시 키토산을 글루탐산에 용해하여 침지액으로 사용하면 유용한 아미노산인 alanine, serine 및 필수아미노산인 lysine, isoleucine, methionine 함량을 현저히 증진시킬 수 있어 영양성이 보강된 발아현미를 얻을 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

[Purpose] This study aimed to investigate the effects of leucine-enriched essential amino acid (LEAA) supplementation on muscle fatigue and the level of inflammatory cytokines in wheelchair basketball players after a basketball game and interval training. [Methods] Of the ten recruited wheelchair basketball players (aged 34.5±8.9 years; lean body mass of 34.3±10.0 kg) who had spinal cord injury (SCI) and had undergone amputation, nine participated in the final test. These nine athletes received LEAA supplements (3 times 4.0 g/day) or placebo treatment in a double-blind, randomized, crossover study. We measured variables related to muscular fatigue and inflammatory response before the intense exercise and 4 days after recovery. [Results] The significant effect of LEAA supplementation was inhibition of circulating IL-6 levels in the LEAA-treated group compared with the placebo group (P < .05). However, no changes were observed in the TNF-α and creatinine kinase levels. Moreover, analysis of variance analysis showed no significant difference in the relative values of muscle soreness. However, the effect size analysis with Cohen's d reported a significant improvement in the relative values of whole body and back muscle soreness. [Conclusion] Our results revealed that LEAA supplementation before and after intense exercise could help reduce muscle soreness and IL-6 levels in wheelchair basketball players.

The amino acids found in plants play important roles in protein biosynthesis, signaling processes, and stress responses, and as components in other biosynthesis pathways. Amino acid degradation helps maintain plant cells' energy states under certain carbon starvation conditions. Branched-chain amino acid transferases (BCATs) play an essential role in the metabolism of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) such as isoleucine, leucine and valine. In this paper, we performed genome-wide RNA-seq analysis using CsBCAT7-overexpressing Arabidopsis plants. We observed significant changes in genes related to flowering time and genes that are germination-responsive in transgenic plants. RNA-seq and RT-qPCR analyses revealed that the expression levels of some BCAA catabolic genes were upregulated in these same transgenic plants, and that this correlated with a delay in their senescence phenotype when the plants were placed in extended darkness conditions. These results suggest a connection between BCAT and the genes implicated in BCAA catabolism.
