Übersichtsartikel Einfluß alimentärer Faktoren auf den Stoffwechsel von Glycin

Abstract: It can be concluded on the base of data from literature and of our own results, that the metabolism of glycine is localized mainly in liver tissue. The main catabolic pathway of nutritional glycine proceeds via the glycine-cleavage enzyme, serinehydroxymethyltransferase and serinedehydratase or serine-pyruvate aminotransferase and via serine and pyruvate. The physiological significance of this metabolic pathway is estimated. The catabolism via the C1-pool is limited by the regeneration rate of tetrahydrofolic … Show more

Experiments were conducted to determine if hepatic threonine dehydrogenase (TDH) activity is influenced by dietary protein or specific amino acid concentrations. In an initial experiment, young chicks were deprived of feed for 60 h or had access for 72 h to a 22% protein basal diet, a protein-free diet or a 51% high protein diet. TDH activity was determined as aminoacetone and glycine accumulation during incubation of liver mitochondria. TDH activity was significantly (P < 0.01) lower in chicks fed the protein-free diet and significantly greater in chicks fed the high protein diet compared with chicks fed the basal diet. Food deprivation had no effect on TDH activity. A second experiment was conducted using the 22 and 51% protein diets, the 22% protein diet plus 1.14 g/100 g diet threonine (equivalent to the free plus protein-bound threonine content of the high protein diet), and the 51% protein diet containing 0.15 g/100 g diet less threonine. TDH was increased in chicks fed either high protein diet (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in TDH activity, however, between chicks fed the basal diet and the threonine-supplemented diet or between chicks fed the two high protein diets. In two other experiments, the activity of TDH was investigated in chicks fed for 9 d dietary supplements of either serine or glycine (5.5 or 4 g/100 g basal diet, respectively). The supplements were added to the basal diet or the basal diet imbalanced by the addition of 6% branched-chain amino acids. Neither the serine nor the glycine supplement significantly altered TDH activity or the increased activity associated with a branched-chain amino acid-induced threonine imbalance. The results suggest that hepatic TDH activity is influenced by protein level or other amino acids more than by threonine itself.
