“The present findings demonstrate that intravenous infusion of leucine (not infusion of valine or isoleucine) results in marked reductions in the concentrations of the aromatic amino acids and methionine.”
“Our results showed that leucine and pantothenate starvation metabolically blocked the sterilization mechanisms of methionine starvation but not those of arginine starvation.”
“Competition of methionine uptake by leucine , efflux of radiolabeled methionine from preloaded oocytes into medium containing methionine and uptake of methionine in medium with low sodium ion concentration was observed.”
“Coexpression … L and M led to greater regulation than either L alone or L and S. Coexpression of all three envelope proteins was also found to limit completion of plus-strand DNA synthesis, and the degree of this effect correlated with the level of the proteins and virion secretion.”
“Prominent among the 78 genes down-regulated in L relative to M were alcohol dehydrogenases 1alpha-gamma, tryptase, dermatopontin, thrombospondin, coxsackievirus receptor, nur77, and c-kit.”
“Plasma concentrations of essential amino acids, including threonine, methionine , isoleucine, valine, tyrosine, and phenylalanine were significantly decreased by leucine infusion.”
