In Heterodera rostochiensis nematode cultures, DL-methionine at 0.1% concentration inhibited cyst formation by 78% and reduced egg hatching by 65% compared to control groups. This nematicidal effect was attributed to disruption of chitin synthesis pathways essential for nematode reproduction [1]
The amount of crude protein (CP) in an animal's diet directly affects how well the animal performs when given DL-methionine supplements. When broiler chicken diets containing 20% crude protein had DLM added, the weight of abdominal fat was reduced; however, when the diets contained 23% CP, this was not the case. With increasing DL-methionine supplementation, breast meat production increased and abdominal fat content reduced in chickens fed on a lower protein level (20.5% CP) compared to a higher protein level (26%) more evident [2]. |

| ln Vivo |
The quantity of male and female potato worms, cysts, and eggs on potato plants is greatly decreased by DL-methionine. Nearly all nematodes can be eliminated by applying DL-methionine three days after inoculation, and it has no negative effects on plant growth [1].
Broiler chickens fed DL-methionine-supplemented diets (0.3% w/w) showed 18% higher body weight gain (p<0.01) and 12% improved feed conversion ratio compared to methionine-deficient controls at 42 days post-hatching. Hepatic glutathione peroxidase activity increased by 35% while plasma malondialdehyde (oxidative stress marker) decreased by 27% [2] Direct comparison trials demonstrated DL-methionine (0.2% dietary inclusion) yielded 5.3% greater weight gain versus equimolar DL-methionine hydroxy analog (p<0.05), with methionine bioavailability calculated at 100% relative to L-methionine standards [3] |
| Animal Protocol |
Broilers (Ross 308, n=240) received basal diets (16% or 22% crude protein) supplemented with DL-methionine at 0.15% or 0.30% concentrations. Feed and water provided ad libitum for 42 days with weekly weight monitoring. Blood samples collected via wing vein puncture at termination [2]
Day-old chicks (n=480) randomly assigned to isonitrogenous diets containing equimolar DL-methionine, DL-methionine hydroxy analog free acid, or L-methionine (0.2% inclusion). Body weight and feed intake recorded weekly over 21-day trial [3] |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Based on weight gain efficiency, the relative bioavailability of DL-methionine in poultry reached 100%, significantly higher than that of DL-methionine hydroxy analogues (bioavailability of 65%). No significant difference was observed compared with L-methionine [3].
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Supplementation with up to 0.3% DL-methionine did not cause hepatotoxicity or nephrotoxicity, and serum ALT/AST and creatinine levels were not abnormal. Plasma homocysteine concentration remained within the normal physiological range [2]
Toxicity Summary The possible anti-hepatotoxic mechanism of L-methionine is not fully understood. It is believed that the liver's metabolism of high doses of acetaminophen leads to a decrease in hepatic glutathione levels and an increase in oxidative stress. L-methionine is a precursor of L-cysteine. L-cysteine itself may have antioxidant activity. L-cysteine is also a precursor of the antioxidant glutathione. The antioxidant activity of L-methionine and its metabolites seems to be the reason for its potential anti-hepatotoxic effect. Recent studies have shown that methionine itself has free radical scavenging activity due to its sulfur content and chelating ability. |

| Additional Infomation |
Methionine is a sulfur-containing amino acid, a structural derivative of butyrate with an amino group at the 2-position and a methylthio group at the 4-position. It is found in Escherichia coli, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, plants, large fleas, and algae, and is an important metabolite. It is an α-amino acid and also a sulfur-containing amino acid. Functionally, it is related to butyrate. It is the conjugate base and conjugate acid of methionine salts. It is a zwitterion of methionine. A methionine preparation containing a mixture of D-methionine and L-methionine isomers is also mentioned. DL-methionine has been reported in Drosophila melanogaster, Mycoplasma gallisepticum, and other organisms with relevant data. See also: Methionine (note moved to)...
Its functions include serving as a methyl donor in protein synthesis and as an antioxidant precursor (cysteine/glutathione pathway). In commercial broiler farming, the optimal addition amount can increase feed conversion ratio by 5-7% [2]. It has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is recognized as "Generally Recognized As Safe" (GRAS) in animal feed. It is synthesized by the Strecker amino acid synthesis method, which ensures stable purity (>99%) [3]. |
