The effect of β-alanine on the concentration of taurine and other free amino acids during osmotic stress of Mytilus galloprovincialis
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 May 2009
Abstract
The effect of β-alanine on the concentration of taurine and other free amino acids (FAA) in different osmotic conditions in Mytilus galloprovincialis have been investigated. Significant variation of the concentration of FAA as a function of the salinity have been observed.
β-alanine incorporation decreases the level of cysteic acid and taurine as well as the level of other FAA.
