Component
Pig intestinal mucosal protein
Context-specific entity; species, compartment and exposure are stated on each claim.
1 recorded relationships. Experimental role, claim status and evidence remain attached to each record.
How nutrients influence it
Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.
Other things that act on it
Enzymes, hormones, genes, and other components with a recorded effect. These are not nutrients, so they do not count toward the arrows above. Each finding names the chapter that recorded it.
How nutrients reach it in more than one step
Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

What it does
Every recorded relationship this component is part of, grouped by its role. Plain wording comes first; the technical statement follows.
What acts on it
Piglet portal-drained viscera used a large fraction of dietary threonine, mainly through incorporation into mucosal proteins; dietary supply was preferentially used over systemic supply under normal-protein feeding.
Experimental context and source evidence
- evidence_access
- Primary abstract
- experimental_model
- 18 piglets, normal or protein-restricted isocaloric feeding; stable-isotope tracing after seven hours of enteral feeding.
- limitations
- Reported 91% versus 85% dietary utilization is specific to this model and feeding interval, not a human universal fraction.
- nutrient_topic
- L-Threonine collection; species, compartment, exposure, co-substrates and manipulation remain explicit. · L-Threonine
- plain_language
- The gut uses much of the incoming amino acid before it reaches other tissues.
