Arginine impact in immune regulation and microbial homeostasis in poultry
Beyond protein synthesis: the emerging role of arginine in poultry nutrition and host-microbe interactions
Published: April 3, 2024
Summary
1 Introduction Amino acids are organic compounds containing both amino (—NH 2 ) and carboxyl (—COOH) groups. Due to the presence of asymmetric carbon, all amino acids except glycine exhibit optical activity and exist as D- and L-isoforms or enantiomers (Lehninger et al., 2005). The asymmetric α-carbon imparts chirality, a phenomenon where the molecule is not superimposable to i...

Your definition of amino acids applies only to proteinogenic amino acids, but not all amino acids. For example, taurine, does not have either an alpha-amino group or any carboxyl group, but is a well-recognized amino acid in animals.

Arginine is a powerful vasodilator which increases blood circulation and also helps in modulation of protective immune response. Under heat stress conditions arginine has the ability to alleviate heat induced stress & normalize the growth performance.

@Sumit Sipany That is an interesting comment & observation. I doubt that many poultry producers know about this use of arginine to alleviate heat-induced stress & improve growth performance.

Thank you for your comment ! You're absolutely right—arginine's role in alleviating heat-induced stress and enhancing growth performance isn't widely known among poultry producers. It's fascinating how nutritional strategies can impact poultry health and productivity in such specific ways. Moreover, our discussion can definitely provide valuable insights for readers, nutritionists, and poultry producers alike. Exploring lesser-known benefits of nutrients like arginine in poultry farming can lead to innovative practices that enhance animal welfare and productivity. It's exciting to contribute to this exchange of knowledge !
