Document Summary
Need to know mechanisms for full marks. Not predicting things, that was emphasized during the rest of the course, just looking at metabolism knowledge on the final. In a study of amino acid (aa) nutrition, grad student pedro de pacas infused growing hereford steers into the abomasum with 700 g/d of either a complete aa mix or a mix lacking the essential aa histidine. The aa infusions provided more than half of the total aa supply to the animals. After 2 weeks on treatment, pedro collected blood samples from the tail vein and measured the following concentrations of metabolites and hormones in plasma: insulin (pm) glucagon (ng/l) total aa (mm) alanine glutamine histidine threonine leucine glucose urea complete. 3. 6b a,b means within a row with different superscripts are significantly different. Inhibited utilization to make concentration go up. Non-essentials can be synthesized, have another source for those ones. Essentials only coming from diet, ala, etc. are not being used as much.
