“Intakes of TN were positively correlated with plasma concentrations of VAL , LEU, ILE, tyrosine (TYR), histidine (HIS), and SUN (r=0.38-0.64, p<0.05-0.001), and negatively correlated with plasma arginine concentrations (r=-0.41, p<0.05).”
“Fecal (P less than .05) and urinary (P less than .01) nitrogen decreased with increasing valine , yielding greatest (P less than .01) nitrogen retention (excluding milk nitrogen) at .53% dietary valine.”
