Lysine aids cold adaptation
Cold exposure accelerates lysine catabolism to promote cold acclimation via remodeling hepatic histone crotonylation.
Most Relevant Research
We focused on understanding how lysine, an essential amino acid, plays a role in cold acclimation. Our study involved twenty male participants who underwent three months of natural cold exposure, during which we measured cold-induced vasodilation (CIVD) and analyzed plasma amino acid levels.

After the three-month cold exposure, we observed that continuous exposure led to quicker CIVD responses and better finger temperature regulation. Notably, we found decreases in plasma levels of lysine and glycine in both humans and mice. Lysine emerged as the key amino acid showing significant changes that correlated strongly with improved CIVD outcomes.

To delve deeper, we conducted an experiment where mice were given lysine supplements during a week of cold exposure. These mice maintained higher core and surface temperatures, indicating a protective effect against cold. Additionally, lysine supplementation seemed to promote certain liver functions by increasing levels of specific histones and gene expressions related to metabolism.

Overall, our findings highlight lysine not only as a critical player in adapting to cold conditions but also suggest its potential importance for metabolic health during such challenges.

L-lysine shows anxiety-reducing effects
Anxiolytic, anti-nociceptive and body weight reducing effects of L-lysine in rats: Relationship with brain serotonin an In-Vivo and In-Silico study.
Most Relevant Research
We explored how L-lysine, an essential amino acid, impacts anxiety and body weight management in rats. During our study, we treated the animals with doses of L-lysine for 20 days and then assessed their behavior. Interestingly, we noted that L-lysine had a significant anxiolytic effect, meaning it helped reduce anxiety-like behaviors in the rats.

While the treatment did not impact their food intake, we observed a reduction in body weight. Measurements showed that after repeated L-lysine treatment, levels of serotonin in key brain areas increased, which is often associated with improved mood and reduced anxiety. We also found that a metabolite of serotonin decreased, suggesting that L-lysine might help in preventing the breakdown of serotonin, thus supporting its uplifting effects on mood.

The in-silico analysis reinforced our findings, indicating that L-lysine has a strong connection with monoamine oxidases—enzymes involved in serotonin degradation. These insights suggest that L-lysine may inhibit the breakdown of serotonin, contributing to its calming effects. Overall, our study indicates that L-lysine holds promise as a natural anxiolytic agent and might aid in body weight reduction through its influence on serotonin levels.

Miracle cure for canine papilloma virus. Our 6-month-old boxer puppy had been suffering from canine papilloma virus for almost 3 months.
