Abstract
Noise pollution is increasingly prevalent in aquatic ecosystems, causing detrimental effects on growth and behavior of marine fishes. The physiological responses of fish to underwater noise are poorly understood. In this study, we used RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) to study the transcriptome of the sonic muscle in small yellow croaker (Larimichthys polyactis) after exposure to a 120 dB noise for 30 min. The behavioral experiment revealed that noise exposure resulted in accelerated tail swimming behavior at the beginning of the exposure period, followed by loss of balance at the end of experiment. Transcriptomic analysis found that most highly expressed genes in the sonic muscle, including parvalbumin, slc25a4, and troponin C were related with energy metabolism and locomotor function. Further, a total of 1261 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, including 284 up-regulated and 977 down-regulated genes in the noise exposure group compared with the control group. Gene ontology (GO) analysis indicated that the most enriched categories of DEGs included protein folding and response to unfolding protein. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis found over-represented pathways including protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum, chaperones and folding catalysts, as well as arginine and proline metabolism. Specifically, many genes related to fatty acid and collagen metabolism were up-regulated in the noise exposure group. Taken together, our results indicate that exposure to noise stressors alters the swimming behavior of croaker, inducing endoplasmic reticulum stress, disrupting lipid metabolism, and causing collagen degradation in the sonic muscle of L. polyactis.

Abstract
Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate whether supplementation of carbohydrate together with peptide glutamine would prevent anaerobic power decrease during repeated competitions. Methods Twenty eight physical education male students voluntarily participated in the study. Subjects were randomly divided on a maximal power (Max power) output value basis into four groups: 1) G group (oral ingestion of glutamine at the dose of 0.25 g/kg body mass in 250 ml of water), 2) M group (a single carbohydrate at a concentration of 50g of maltodextrin in 250 ml of water), 3) GM group (carbohydrate at a concentration of 50g of maltodextrin + glutamine at the dose of 0.25 g/kg body mass in 250 ml of water) and, 4) P group (just 250 ml of water and 30 gram sweetener). Each subject performed three times Running-based Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST) with intervals of 1 hour. Max power, Minimal power (Min power) and fatigue were calculated for each participant. Results There was a significant decrease in Max and Min power in P group in time series (P<0.05). Furthermore, regarding the Max and Min power, there was significant difference between P and GM group in third bout indicating stronger influence of combination of maltodextrin and glutamine in comparison with pure consumption of glutamine and maltodextrin (P< 0.05). Conclusions It seems acute supplementation of glutamine and maltodextrin combination, 2 hours before exercise is more efficient in prevention of anaerobic power decrease than consumption of a pure carbohydrate or glutamine in repeated bouts of RAST protocol. Thus, supplementation with both carbohydrate and peptide glutamine improved the physical performance of athletes during repeated competitions. Obviously, it is necessary to do further studies.

Abstract
The tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle is the major final common pathway for oxidation of carbohydrates, lipids and some amino acids, which produces reducing equivalents in the form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and flavin adenine dinucleotide that result in production of large amounts of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) via oxidative phosphorylation. Although regulated primarily by the products of ATP hydrolysis, in particular adenosine diphosphate, the rate of delivery of reducing equivalents to the electron transport chain is also a potential regulatory step of oxidative phosphorylation. The TCA cycle is responsible for the generation of approximately 67% of all reducing equivalents per molecule of glucose, hence factors that influence TCA cycle flux will be of critical importance for oxidative phosphorylation. TCA cycle flux is dependent upon the supply of acetyl units, activation of the three non-equilibrium reactions within the TCA cycle, and it has been suggested that an increase in the total concentration of the TCA cycle intermediates (TCAi) is also necessary to augment and maintain TCA cycle flux during exercise. This article reviews the evidence of the functional importance of the TCAi pool size for oxidative metabolism in exercising human skeletal muscle. In parallel with increased oxidative metabolism and TCA cycle flux during exercise, there is an exercise intensity-dependent 4- to 5-fold increase in the concentration of the TCAi. TCAi concentration reaches a peak after 10-15 minutes of exercise, and thereafter tends to decline. This seems to support the suggestion that the concentration of TCAi may be of functional importance for oxidative phosphorylation. However, researchers have been able to induce dissociations between TCAi pool size and oxidative energy provision using a variety of nutritional, pharmacological and exercise interventions. Brief periods of endurance training (5 days or 7 weeks) have been found to result in reduced TCAi pool expansion at the start of exercise (same absolute work intensity) in parallel with either equivalent or increased oxidative energy provision. Cycloserine inhibits alanine aminotransferase, which catalyses the predominant anaplerotic reaction in exercising human muscle. When infused into contracting rat hindlimb muscle, TCAi pool expansion was reduced by 25% with no significant change in oxidative energy provision or power output. Glutamine supplementation has been shown to enhance TCAi pool expansion at the start of exercise with no increase in oxidative energy provision. In summary, there is a consistent dissociation between the extent of TCAi pool expansion at the onset of exercise and oxidative energy provision. At the other end of the spectrum, the parallel loss of TCAi, glycogen and adenine nucleotides and accumulation of inosine monophosphate during prolonged exercise has led to the suggestion that there is a link between muscle glycogen depletion, reduced TCA cycle flux and the development of fatigue. However, analysis of serial biopsies during prolonged exercise demonstrated dissociation between muscle TCAi content and both muscle glycogen content and muscle oxygen uptake. In addition, the delay in fatigue development achieved through increased carbohydrate availability does not attenuate TCAi reduction during prolonged exercise. Therefore, TCAi concentration in whole muscle homogenate does not seem to be of functional importance. However, TCAi content can currently only be measured in whole muscle homogenate rather than the mitochondrial subfraction where TCA cycle reactions occur. In addition, anaplerotic flux rather than TCAi content per se is likely to be of greater importance in determining TCA cycle flux, since TCAi content is probably merely reflective of anaplerotic substrate concentration. Methodological advances are required to allow researchers to address the questions of whether oxidative phosphorylation is limited by mitochondrial TCAi content and/or anaplerotic flux.

Abstract
While transport processes for amino acids and glucose have long been known to be expressed in the luminal and abluminal membranes of the endothelium comprising the blood-brain and blood-retinal barriers, it is only within the last decades that endothelial and smooth muscle cells derived from peripheral vascular beds have been recognized to rapidly transport and metabolize these nutrients. This review focuses principally on the mechanisms regulating amino acid and glucose transporters in vascular endothelial cells, although we also summarize recent advances in the understanding of the mechanisms controlling membrane transport activity and expression in vascular smooth muscle cells. We compare the specificity, ionic dependence, and kinetic properties of amino acid and glucose transport systems identified in endothelial cells derived from cerebral, retinal, and peripheral vascular beds and review the regulation of transport by vasoactive agonists, nitric oxide (NO), substrate deprivation, hypoxia, hyperglycemia, diabetes, insulin, steroid hormones, and development. In view of the importance of NO as a modulator of vascular tone under basal conditions and in disease and chronic inflammation, we critically review the evidence that transport of L-arginine and glucose in endothelial and smooth muscle cells is modulated by bacterial endotoxin, proinflammatory cytokines, and atherogenic lipids. The recent colocalization of the cationic amino acid transporter CAT-1 (system y(+)), nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), and caveolin-1 in endothelial plasmalemmal caveolae provides a novel mechanism for the regulation of NO production by L-arginine delivery and circulating hormones such insulin and 17beta-estradiol.

Abstract
We have cloned a new subtype of the amino acid transport system N2 (SN2 or second subtype of system N) from rat brain. Rat SN2 consists of 471 amino acids and belongs to the recently identified glutamine transporter gene family that consists of system N and system A. Rat SN2 exhibits 63% identity with rat SN1. It also shows considerable sequence identity (50-56%) with the members of the amino acid transporter A subfamily. In the rat, SN2 mRNA is most abundant in the liver but is detectable in the brain, lung, stomach, kidney, testis, and spleen. When expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes and in mammalian cells, rat SN2 mediates Na(+)-dependent transport of several neutral amino acids, including glycine, asparagine, alanine, serine, glutamine, and histidine. The transport process is electrogenic, Li(+) tolerant, and pH sensitive. The transport mechanism involves the influx of Na(+) and amino acids coupled to the efflux of H(+), resulting in intracellular alkalization. Proline, alpha-(methylamino)isobutyric acid, and anionic and cationic amino acids are not recognized by rat SN2.

Abstract
The objectives of the present study were to determine the splanchnic extraction of glutamine after ingestion of glutamine-rich protein ((15)N-labeled oat proteins) and to compare it with that of free glutamine and to determine de novo glutamine synthesis before and after glutamine consumption. Eight healthy adults were infused intravenously in the postabsorptive state with L-[1-(13)C]glutamine (3 micromol x kg(-1) x h(-1)) and L-[1-(13)C]lysine (1.5 micromol x kg(-1) x h(-1)) for 8 h. Four hours after the beginning of the infusion, subjects consumed (every 20 min) a liquid formula providing either 2.5 g of protein from (15)N-labeled oat proteins or a mixture of free amino acids that mimicked the oat-amino acid profile and contained L-[2,5-(15)N(2)]glutamine and L-[2-(15)N]lysine. Splanchnic extraction of glutamine reached 62.5 +/- 5.0% and 66.7 +/- 3.9% after administration of (15)N-labeled oat proteins and the mixture of free amino acids, respectively. Lysine splanchnic extraction was also not different (40.9 +/- 11.9% and 34.9 +/- 10.6% for (15)N-labeled oat proteins and free amino acids, respectively). The main conclusion of the present study is that glutamine is equally bioavailable when given enterally as a free amino acid and when protein bound. Therefore, and taking into consideration the drawbacks of free glutamine supplementation of ready-to-use formulas for enteral nutrition, protein sources naturally rich in this amino acid are the best option for providing stable glutamine.

Abstract
The aims of the present study were twofold: first to investigate whether TCA cycle intermediate (TCAI) pool expansion at the onset of moderate-intensity exercise in human skeletal muscle could be enhanced independently of pyruvate availability by ingestion of glutamine or ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate, and second, if it was, whether this modification of TCAI pool expansion had any effect on oxidative energy status during subsequent exercise. Seven males cycled for 10 min at approximately 70% maximal O2) uptake 1 h after consuming either an artificially sweetened placebo (5 ml/kg body wt solution, CON), 0.125 g/kg body wt L-(+)-ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate dissolved in 5 ml/kg body wt solution (OKG), or 0.125 g/kg body wt L-glutamine dissolved in 5 ml/kg body wt solution (GLN). Vastus lateralis muscle was biopsied 1 h postsupplement and after 10 min of exercise. The sum of four measured TCAI (SigmaTCAI; citrate, malate, fumarate, and succinate, approximately 85% of total TCAI pool) was not different between conditions 1 h postsupplement. However, after 10 min of exercise, SigmaTCAI (mmol/kg dry muscle) was greater in the GLN condition (4.90 +/- 0.61) than in the CON condition (3.74 +/- 0.38, P < 0.05) and the OKG condition (3.85 +/- 0.28). After 10 min of exercise, muscle phosphocreatine (PCr) content was significantly reduced (P < 0.05) in all conditions, but there was no significant difference between conditions. We conclude that the ingestion of glutamine increased TCAI pool size after 10 min of exercise most probably because of the entry of glutamine carbon at the level of alpha-ketoglutarate. However, this increased expansion in the TCAI pool did not appear to increase oxidative energy production, because there was no sparing of PCr during exercise.
