Journal ArticleDOI
Arginine metabolism and nutrition in growth, health and disease
Guoyao Wu,Guoyao Wu,Fuller W. Bazer,Teresa A. Davis,Sung Woo Kim,Peng Li,J. Marc Rhoads,M. Carey Satterfield,Stephen B. Smith,Thomas E. Spencer,Yulong Yin +10 more
TL;DR: The results of both experimental and clinical studies indicate that Arg is a nutritionally essential amino acid (AA) for spermatogenesis, embryonic survival, fetal and neonatal growth, as well as maintenance of vascular tone and hemodynamics and novel and effective therapies for obesity, diabetes, and the metabolic syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glutamine, arginine, and leucine signaling in the intestine
J. Marc Rhoads,Guoyao Wu +1 more
TL;DR: Evidence from both in vitro and in vivo animal studies shows that glutamine and arginine promote cell proliferation and exert differential cytoprotective effects in response to nutrient deprivation, oxidative injury, stress, and immunological challenge.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arginine deficiency in preterm infants: biochemical mechanisms and nutritional implications.
TL;DR: It is proposed that intestinal citrulline and arginine synthesis is limited in preterm neonates owing to the limited expression of the genes for key enzymes (e.g., pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthase, argininosuccinate synthase and lyase), thereby contributing to hypoargininemia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Altered fecal microflora and increased fecal calprotectin in infants with colic.
J. Marc Rhoads,Nicole Y. Fatheree,Johana Norori,Yuying Liu,Joseph F. Lucke,Jon E. Tyson,Michael J. Ferris +6 more
TL;DR: Infants with colic, a condition previously believed to be nonorganic in nature, have evidence of intestinal neutrophilic infiltration and a less diverse fecal microflora.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serum citrulline levels correlate with enteral tolerance and bowel length in infants with short bowel syndrome.
J. Marc Rhoads,Emily Plunkett,Joseph A. Galanko,Steven N. Lichtman,Lesli Taylor,Angela Maynor,Timothy Weiner,Katherine Freeman,J. Lindhe Guarisco,Guoyao Wu +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, serum levels of CIT (a nonprotein amino acid synthesized by the intestine) correlate with total parenteral nutrition independence in children with short bowel syndrome (SBS).
