Methionine, threonine and glutamic acid adapted pathways in captive cheetahs on a glycine-supplemented diet
Glycine supplementation influenced threonine sparing, pyrimidine biosynthesis pathways and bacterial fermentation products, although the implications of these findings on the health of captive cheetahs is unknown. Future studies should use a targeted approach to further elaborate on these pathways.
