Dendritic cells (DCs) play a central role in inducing both immunity and tolerance as specialized antigen-presenting cells (APCs). The immunometabolic firestorm in recent years has focused our attention on how DCs use energy and respond to nutritional changes that affect immune functions. Like in eve...

The extraction and comparison of soil amino acids using different extractants (deionized water, K2SO4, Na2SO4, NaCl, KCl) were reported. Results showed that 0.5 mol L−1 K2SO4 with a 5 times extraction was a better method to assess the concentration of extractable amino acids in soils. The total amin...

Of the three primary macronutrients, protein requirements vary the most because of different factors that make them change the requirements when we calculate them. The utilization and degradation of amino acids (AAs) may vary according to the pathology or condition of the patient. A better understan...

Sarcopenia is the age-related degeneration of skeletal muscle. Healthy skeletal muscle secretes metabolites and macromolecules that are systemically important for the immune system (e.g. myokines) and the central nervous system (e.g. BDNF). Exercise interventions to stimulate skeletal muscle are the...
