Lack of methionine in diets leads to a decrease in the level of plasma proteins (albumins), causes anemia (decrease in the level of hemoglobin in the blood); with simultaneous lack of vitamin E and selenium, contributes to the development of muscular dystrophy. Insufficient amount of methionine in the diet causes retarded growth of young animals, loss of appetite, decreased productivity, increased feed costs, fatty degeneration of the liver, impaired renal function, anemia and exhaustion.
Excess of methionine impairs the use of nitrogen, causes degenerative changes in the liver, kidneys and pancreas and increases the need for arginine and glycine. Large excess of methionine causes an imbalance (the balance of amino acids is disturbed, which is based on sharp deviations from the optimal ratio of essential amino acids in the diet), which is accompanied by metabolic disorders and inhibition of the growth rate in young animals.
Cystine is a sulfur-containing amino acid, interchangeable with methionine; it participates in redox processes, the exchange of proteins, carbohydrates and bile acids, promotes the formation of substances that neutralize intestinal poisons, activates insulin. Together with tryptophan, cystine participates in the synthesis of bile acids in the liver necessary for absorption of the products of digestion of fats from the intestines and is used for the synthesis of glutathione. Cystine can absorb UV rays. Lack of cystine causes cirrhosis of the liver, delayed feathering and feather growth in young animals, fragility and loss (plucking).
