Results and discussion

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Leucine results in a reduction of cell proliferation of dog cells at concentrations higher than in vivo plasma leucine concentrations.
Executive summary:

Leucine, valine, isoleucine and arginine were tested for their effect on the cell proliferation of canine osteosarcoma,

canine bronchoepithelial carcinoma and

Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. All amino acids tested had anti-proliferative capacities at the highest concentration (100 mM) but leucine and arginine were far more suppressive at lower concentrations at 50 and 10 mM than valine or isoleucine. The concentrations of leucine which result in a reduction in cell proliferation are higher than in vivo leucine plasma concentrations.
