Interaction Information:
Comment | Among a total of 16 amino acids measured in the serum, 7 were not different in obese versus lean subjects (citrulline, histidine, methionine, ornithine, proline, serine, tryptophan). Eight other amino acids were dramatically elevated in obese versus lean participants (alanine, valine, leucine/isoleucine, phenylalanine, tyrosine, glutamate/ glutamine, aspartate/asparagine, arginine), whereas glycine levels were lower in obese subjects. |
