Dietary glycine supplementation enhances syntheses of creatine and glutathione by tissues of hybrid striped bass (Morone saxatilis × Morone chrysops) fed soybean meal-based diets
Published: June 5, 2024
Summary
Introduction Creatine (essential for energy metabolism) and glutathione (GSH; an important non-enzymatic antioxidant) are major metabolites of glycine [the simplest amino acid (AA)] in animals (Fig. 1). Specifically, arginine:glycine amidinotransferase (AGAT) and guanidinoacetate N-methyltransferase (GAMT) convert glycine into creatine in the presence of arginine and methionine, whereas &g...

Glycine is the most abundant amino acids in animal bodies but is deficient in the diets of growing pigs and hybrid striped bass. Thus, glycine is a nutritionally essential amino acid for them, in contrast to the traditional concept.
