Background: Ovarian cancer is a lethal female cancer with a rising incidence that is often diagnosed late due to a lack of symptoms, affecting survival and quality of life. Studies suggest that dietary factors, especially the levels of branched-chain amino acids such as valine, may influence its development. While valine is essential for metabolism, its specific role in ovarian cancer remains unclear, necessitating further research.

This study aimed to investigate the temporal accumulation of odor fatty acids (OFAs) in the dorsal subcutaneous adipose tissue, and uncover their dynamic regulatory metabolic pathways from the transcriptomic perspective in lambs from birth to market. Thirty-two Hulun Buir lambs were selected and randomly assigned to four different sampling stages following their growth trajectories: neonatal (day 1), weaning (day 75), mid-fattening (day 150), and late-fattening (day 180) stages. Results indicated that the contents of three OFAs increased progressively as lambs matured, with the most drastic change occurred at mid-fattening vs.

Backgrounds: Due to the high mortality and hospitalization rate in chronic heart failure (HF), it is of great significance to study myocardial nutrition conditions. Amino acids (AAs) are essential nutrient metabolites for cell development and survival. This study aims to investigate the associations and prognostic value of plasma branched-chain amino acid/aromatic amino acid ratio (Fischer's ratio, FR) in patients with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤ 50%.

The sodium-dependent membrane transporter SLC6A15 (BAT2) belongs to the SLC6 family, which comprises carriers of amino acids and monoamines. BAT2 is expressed in the central nervous system (CNS), including the glutaminergic and GABAergic system. SLC6A15 supplies neurons with neutral amino acids.

Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) is an inborn error of metabolism characterized by the accumulation of branched-chain amino acids (leucine, isoleucine, and valine) caused by a defect in the branched-chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase complex. Liver transplant is an effective therapy for MSUD, and patients can usually tolerate a regular diet after transplant without symptomatic metabolic decompensation. Most post-transplant patients do not follow a sick-day diet.
