Notes: L-Lysine is an essential amino acid.{62381} It is catabolized via the saccharopine pathway to produce acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA; Item No. 16160) in liver mitochondria. L-Lysine is also a precursor in the biosynthesis of L-carnitine (Item No. 21489), a conditionally essential nutrient that has roles in energy production and fatty acid metabolism.{62382} L-Lysine (400 mg/kg per day) reduces viral shedding in cats latently infected with feline herpesvirus type 1 (FHV-1).{62383} Administration of an L-lysine-deficient diet increases fecal pellet excretion induced by restraint stress, indicating increases in anxiety, in rats.{62384} Formulations containing L-lysine have been used as dietary supplements.
