... and is predominantly found in the reduced form (GSH) as a tripeptide of cysteine, glycine and glutamic acid [l]. The oxidized form of glutathione (GSSG) consists of two tripeptide molecules linked by a disulphide bridge. Glutathione is synthesized Key words: cysteine, dietary protein, endotoxin, y-glutamylcysteine...

...Z. A. H. Yayha; D. Joe Millward 1. We report here studies of the interrelationship of bone and muscle growth in the rat and the regulatory role of dietary protein. Two experiments were undertaken. In experiment 1, growth inhibition was induced by ad libitum feeding of low protein diets containing 7...

...D. L. Vaughan; G. I. Russell 1. The binding of angiotensin II to glomerular receptors was studied in spontaneously hypertensive and normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats in response to 7, 16 and 32% isocaloric, isonatraemic protein diets. 2. Increased dietary protein elevated the systemic angiotensin II...

A randomized, controlled trial was carried out to examine whether changes in type and amount of dietary protein were responsible for earlier observations of blood-pressure-lowering effects of lacto-ovo...
