Amino acids are organic compounds that serve as building blocks of protein. There are over 700 amino acids found in nature but only 20 are used in protein synthesis. Amino acids are classified as essential, non-essential, and semi-essential depending on an animal's ability to synthesize them. Most amino acids exist in two isomeric forms (L and D) but only the L-form is used in protein synthesis. Imbalances or deficiencies in amino acids can negatively impact animal health and performance. Amino acids interact with each other and have many important functions including protein synthesis, gene expression, hormone production, nutrient metabolism, immune function, and more.
Nutritional importance of proteins (biochemistry)autumnpianist
Proteins are important nutrients that provide the essential amino acids needed to build and repair tissues throughout the body. Animal proteins like eggs, beef and milk have complete amino acid profiles and are highest quality, while plant proteins may be missing some essential amino acids. However, combining different plant proteins can improve their quality through mutual supplementation of amino acids. Maintaining positive nitrogen balance through adequate protein intake is important for growth, tissue maintenance and recovery from illness or injury.

Metabolic effects of taurine on experimentally induced hyperlipidemia in ratsHatem elgemezy
This document summarizes a study that evaluated the effects of taurine supplementation on lipid profiles, glucose, insulin, and antioxidant enzyme activities in rats with diet-induced hyperlipidemia. Male rats were divided into four groups: a control group fed a normal diet, a hyperlipidemic group fed a high-fat diet, a high-fat diet group also given taurine supplementation, and a control group given taurine with a normal diet. Blood and tissue samples were taken at various intervals to analyze metabolic markers and antioxidant levels. The results showed that the high-fat diet increased lipids and oxidative stress markers while decreasing antioxidant enzymes, but taurine supplementation helped prevent these metabolic changes by improving antioxidant activities and cholesterol
Low beneficial effects of short term antidiabetic diet treatment in streptozo...iosrphr_editor
Oxidative stress is currently suggested to play a role in the pathogenesis of Diabetes mellitus. The role of dietary management in diabetes mellitus is to provide a proper balance of total nutrients while meeting the special dietary needs of the patient. The present study was designated to evaluate the effect of special antidiabetic diet treatment upon oxidative stress parameters in the initial stages of the development of diabetes. Male Wistar strain rats were used as an experimental model, divided into five groups. A significant decrease in superoxide dismutase and total glutathione activities were observed in the liver of diabetic rats when compared with control animals. The plasma level of aminotransferases, creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase and urea were significantly increased after induction of diabetes, in all groups under treatment. In contrast, rats fed special diet food, have shown slight different, but not significant changes. The findings of the present study suggest that special diet formula useful for prevention of progressive hyperglycaemia in age induced diabetes in dogs, could not restore the imbalance of cellular defence mechanism provoked by streptozotocin.

Piper crocatum is one of Indonesian medicinal plant that contain flavonoids, tannins, alkaloids, and saponins. Aims of this study were to evaluate the effect of Piper crocatum aqueous extract against a decrease in body weight (BW) and the activity of enzymes involved in lipid metabolism (AMPK, ACC, FAS) in liver obese rats. This study used four groups of Sprague dawley rat (n = 6), including normal group (N), obese controls (OC), Piper crocatum extract dose 1260 mg/kgBW (PcA), and Piper crocatum extract dose of 1890 mg/kgBW (PcB). Measurement of metabolic liver enzyme levels (AMPK, ACC, FAS) are using ELISA kit (CusabioTM). Results of this study showed that the PcA group produce the highest reduction in body weight (4.52%), and the lowest levels of ACC (9.13 ng/g) and FAS (360.68 ng/g) which was significantly different from obese control group (95% CI). Piper crocatum extract can't activate AMPK. The highest levels in rat liver AMPK is in N group with 8.42 ng/g, but this value is not significantly different from other groups.
Masterclass Liver Care - Vitafoods 2016Koen Jacobs
The liver performs many essential functions including detoxification, protein synthesis, production of biochemicals for digestion, storing glycogen, and decomposing red blood cells. Liver disease can result from alcohol use, viruses, autoimmune conditions, genetic disorders, or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). NAFLD occurs when excess fat accumulates in the liver and is increasing worldwide due to the rise in obesity and metabolic syndrome. Poor diet and lifestyle factors contribute to NAFLD progression. Choline plays an important role in liver health by supporting phospholipid membranes, lipoprotein synthesis, and methylation reactions, and higher intakes may be needed to prevent NAFLD.

1. The study investigated the effects of a high-fat diet, corn oil supplementation, and omega-3 fatty acid supplementation on nerve conduction velocity and markers of oxidative stress and inflammation in the sciatic nerves of rats.
2. Rats fed a high-fat diet for 12 weeks developed obesity and showed slowed nerve conduction velocity, increased oxidative stress and inflammation in the sciatic nerve, compared to controls.
3. Rats that were obese and continued on a high-fat diet, or were given corn oil or omega-3 supplements alongside the high-fat diet for 5 additional weeks, showed improvements in some markers like nerve conduction velocity, oxidative stress and inflammation compared to rats that remained on just the high-fat
The global prevalence of obesity is increasing rapidly and high dietary fat intake is major risk factor for the development of obesity. The present study was taken undertaken to evaluate the effect of Argyreia Nervosa Burn.F leaf ethanol extract on serum lipid profile in Wistar male albino rat fed with high fat diet and to compare it with a standard hyperlipidemic drug Sibutramine (10mg/kg). Fifty four health Wistar albino male rats were randomized in to 9 groups of 6 animals each. The groups were followed as follows Group I: Sham operated Normal (Normal Diet), Group II: Control (High fat diet), Group III: Sibutramine 10 mg/kg + HFD, Group IV: EEAN (100mg/kg) + HFD, Group V: EEAN (200mg/kg) +HFD, Group VI: EEAN
(400mg/kg) + HFD, Remaining groups have received different types of extracts at various doses. Lipid profile in serum with high triglyceride (TG) and cholesterol levels were significantly reduced by treatment of 0.5g/day A. nervosa. The A. nervosa markedly lowers the levels of serum cholesterol and VLDL. The present investigation shows that all triton induced rats
displayed hyperlipidemia as shown by their elevated levels of serum and liver cholesterol, triglyceride, PL, VLDL, LDL and the reduction in the HDL level. It can be concluded that 0.5g/day of A. nervosa treatment was effective in reduction of cholesterol, PL, TG, VLDL, LDL and HDL in a dose dependant manner.

Intermittent fasting is an Interventional strategy where in individuals are subjected to varying periods of fasting.
It doesn’t specify which foods you should eat but rather when you should eat them.
Intermittent fasting (IF) is an eating pattern that cycles between periods of fasting and eating.
It’s currently very popular in the health and fitness community.
Recently attracted attention because:
1- Its Evidence-Based Health Benefits
2- Its potential for correcting metabolic Abnormalities
3- Better adherence than other methods
Intermittent fasting involves alternating between periods of fasting and eating. Common methods include daily 16-hour fasts or fasting for 24 hours twice per week. Fasting allows the body to burn fat when blood sugar drops after 14-16 hours without food. The body starts breaking down protein for energy after 36-48 hours of fasting. Popular intermittent fasting methods are the 16/8 method of fasting 16 hours daily and restricting eating to an 8-hour window, and the eat-stop-eat method of fasting for 24 hours twice a week. Intermittent fasting has potential health benefits and is easier to adhere to than conventional diets.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

11. Conclusion
Lupine protein is rich in
protein, as a proportion
30-40%, which is also
rich in arginine.
As it works to lower
cholesterol and fats in
the blood and thus
reduces the risk of
cardiovascular disease.
12. Recommendations
Lupine protein can be considered as a
valuable source of vegetable protein.
Adding modest amounts of lupine protein
in the diet can provide approach to reduce
high cholesterol in the blood, and thus
reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease.
13. Why it called
Lupin?
"Lupinus" (Latin for "Wolf")
was named because of
it's strong ability to absorb
the metals from
contaminated soils.
