Effect of protein-bound lysinoalanine, N epsilon-DL-(2-amino-2-carboxyethyl)-L-lysine on fetal and neonatal rats. 1978

B J Struthers, and D T Hopkins, and E E Prescher, and R R Dahlgren

Diets containing 5% to 30% of an alkali-treated isolated soybean protein (ATSP) containing 1% lysinoalanine (LAL) were fed to female Sprague-Dawley rats during gestation and lactation to provide 500, 1,000, 2,000, or 3,000 ppm LAL in the diet. An isolated soybean protein containing no LAL was used as control. No teratological effects were observed. No significant differences in birth weight, mortality, live births/litter, or number of pups/litter was found at any LAL level fed. However, significantly decreased weight gains were observed in pups from dams fed either 2,000 or 3,000 ppm LAL. No LAL was found in the milk, and protein content of all milks was similar. The decreased weight gains appeared to be due to reduced milk production in dams fed high levels of ATSP.

The proliferation of the mammary glandular tissue, milk synthesis, and milk expulsion or let down are regulated by the interactions of several hormones including ESTRADIOL; PROGESTERONE; PROLACTIN; and OXYTOCIN.

D000409 Alanine A non-essential amino acid that occurs in high levels in its free state in plasma. It is produced from pyruvate by transamination. It is involved in sugar and acid metabolism, increases IMMUNITY, and provides energy for muscle tissue, BRAIN, and the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM.
