  3. L-Lysine

L-lysine is an essential amino acid for humans with orally activity. L-lysine can inhibit the occurrence of HSV infections and is used in herpes research. L-lysine increases calcium absorption, reduces diabetes-related diseases, improves gut health, and alleviates pancreatic inflammation. L-lysine can be used in research on metabolism, infection, and inflammation.

Description

L-lysine is an essential amino acid for humans with orally activity. L-lysine can inhibit the occurrence of HSV infections and is used in herpes research. L-lysine increases calcium absorption, reduces diabetes-related diseases, improves gut health, and alleviates pancreatic inflammation. L-lysine can be used in research on metabolism, infection, and inflammation[1][2][3][4].

In Vivo

L-lysine (5 or 10 mg/kg, p.o., single dose) ameliorates sepsis-induced acute lung injury in a lipopolysaccharide (HY-D1056)-induced mouse model[3]. L-lysine (10 mg/kg, p.o., once daily for 45 days) treatment attenuates pancreatic tissue injury by inhibiting the release of the inflammatory cytokine IL-6, and enhances antioxidant activity in L-Arginine hydrochloride (HY-N0455A)-induced acute pancreatitis mice model[4].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: L-Arginine hydrochloride (HY-N0455A)-induced acute pancreatitis mice model[4]
Dosage: 10 mg/kg
Administration: Oral gavage (p.o.), single dose, pre-treated or post-treated
Result: Led to significant decreases in the levels of malondialdehyde and nitric oxide, while significant enhancement was observed in the activities of antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase) and glutathione (p < 0.001).
Animal Model: Lipopolysaccharide (HY-D1056) -induced mouse model[4]
Dosage: 5 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg
Administration: Oral gavage (p.o.), once daily for 45 days
Result: Significantly reduced lipid peroxidation, total protein content, lung tissue wet/dry ratio, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-8, and macrophage inhibitory factor levels, myeloperoxidase activity, as well as total cell, neutrophil, and lymphocyte counts.
Increased the levels of reduced glutathione and the activities of glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, and catalase.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
