Nutrient proteins

Clathrin-mediated endocytosis is a major vesicular transport mechanism in the neuron, which enables the internalization of plasma membrane-bound proteins, nutrients, hormones and other molecules associated with the plasma membrane into intracellular compartments. Clathrin and various adaptor and accessory proteins work in concert at different stages of clathrin coated vesicle formation and disassembly, and many of these proteins (such as clathrin light chain, AP-2, dynamin 1, synaptojanin 1, and the amphiphysins) are substrates for protein kinases (Korolchuk et al. 2003). In addition, it has been suggested that directing synaptotagmin 1 to the synaptic vesicle is dependent on the N-terminal glycosylation of this protein (Han et al. 2004).

Modern methods of amino-acid and peptide analysis, have enabled the complete amino-acid sequence of a number of proteins to be worked out. The grosser structure can be determined by X-ray diffraction procedures. Proteins have molecular weights ranging from about 6 000 000 to 5 000 (although the dividing line between a protein and a peptide is ill defined). Edible proteins can be produced from petroleum and nutrients under fermentation. 

Spices and herbs can play an important indirect role in good nutrition. They are not high in nutrient values, but they help to increase the appeal and satisfaction of foods that are highly nutritious. Spices do contain fat, protein and carbohydrates, electrolytic minerals, iron and B vitamins, and others, but even the highest calorie spice, poppy seeds, contains only two to three calories per serving in normal use (12). 

Investigations have focused on the content of polyphenoHcs, tannins, and related compounds in various foods and the influence on nutrient availabiHty and protein digestibiHty. It has been estabHshed that naturally occurring concentrations of polyphenoloxidase and polyphenols in products such as mushrooms can result in reduced iron bio availabiHty (75). Likewise, several studies have focused on decreased protein digestibiHty caused by the tannins of common beans and rapeseed (canola) (76—78). 

Somatotropin, the P-adrenergic agonists, and the anaboHc steroids are considered metaboHsm modifiers because these compounds alter protein, Hpid, carbohydrate, mineral metaboHsm, or combinations of these and they partition nutrient use toward greater rates of protein deposition, ie, muscle growth, and lesser rates of Hpid accretion. Historical data leading to understanding of the mechanism (s) of action are found in reviews on anaboHc steroids (1), somatotropin (2—4), and the phenethano1 amines (5—7). 

The nutrient sparing effect of antibiotics may result from reduction or elimination of bacteria competing for consumed and available nutrients. It is also recognized that certain bacteria synthesize vitamins (qv), amino acids (qv), or proteins that may be utilized by the host animal. Support of this mode of action is found in the observed nutritional interactions with subtherapeutic use of antibiotics in animal feeds. Protein concentration and digestibiHty, and amino acid composition of consumed proteins may all influence the magnitude of response to feeding antibiotics. Positive effects appear to be largest... 

The American Dietetic Association, the American Heart Association, and the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute recommend 142—198 g (5—7 02) of lean, trimmed meat daily. It was also pointed out that trimmed meat, especially red meat, provides large amounts of essential nutrients such as iron, 2inc, vitamin balanced protein. The idea that the risk of CHD and cancer can be greatiy reduced by avoiding a meat-centered diet have prompted... 

Potassium is required for enzyme activity in a few special cases, the most widely studied example of which is the enzyme pymvate kinase. In plants it is required for protein and starch synthesis. Potassium is also involved in water and nutrient transport within and into the plant, and has a role in photosynthesis. Although sodium and potassium are similar in their inorganic chemical behavior, these ions are different in their physiological activities. In fact, their functions are often mutually antagonistic. For example, increases both the respiration rate in muscle tissue and the rate of protein synthesis, whereas inhibits both processes (42). 

Proteins and Meals. Nutritional properties of the oilseed protein meals and their derived products are deterrnined by the amino acid compositions, content of biologically active proteins, and various nonprotein constituents found in the defatted meals. Phytic acid (3), present as salts in all four meals, is beheved to interfere with dietary absorption of minerals such as 2inc, calcium, and iron (67) (see Food toxicants, naturally occurring Mineral nutrients). ... 

Nutrition. Zinc is essential to the proper functioning of plants and animals and, as zinc sulfate and oxide, it is used as a feed supplement (49—51) (see Mineral nutrients Feedsand feed additives). Most crops use less than a kilogram of zinc per 1000 m per year, so that zinc salts added at 1.3—4.5 kg/ha gradually build up the zinc reserve (52). Animals, including humans, store relatively Htde available zinc and, thus, require a constant supply in the diet. For instance, beef cattle require 10—30 mg/kg dry feed, dairy cattle 40 mg/kg, and breeding hens 65 mg/kg. Zinc from plants is considered less available to monogastric aminals than zinc from animal protein.
