    Product Description

    L-Lysine-d3 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of L-lysine by GC- or LC-MS. L-Lysine is an essential amino acid.1 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.2 L-Lysine (400 mg/kg per day) reduces viral shedding in cats latently infected with feline herpesvirus type 1 (FHV-1).3 Administration of an L-lysine-deficient diet increases fecal pellet excretion induced by restraint stress, indicating increases in anxiety, in rats.4 Formulations containing L-lysine have been used as dietary supplements.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
