Toxicity

IDENTIFICATION AND USE: L-Proline is a solid. It is used in biochemical and nutritional research, microbiological tests, culture media, as a laboratory reagent, and dietary supplement. It is also used in pharmaceutical preparations for injection or infusion. HUMAN EXPOSURE AND TOXICITY: There are no data available. ANIMAL STUDIES: In a 30-day study, a group of seven female rats were given L-proline at a dose of 50 mg/kg bw per day in water. A group of 10 rats served as the control group. After 30 days, all animals were weighed, necropsied, and subjected to a complete gross examination. Histopathology and microscopic examinations of the liver and kidneys were conducted. Samples of serum were obtained for determination of enzyme activities, and concentrations of creatinine and total protein. There were no treatment-related effects in rats given L-proline at 50 mg/ kg bw per day compared with the controls. Of 20 common amino acids only proline enhanced formation of mutagenic activity measured in S typhimurium TA98 with rat liver microsomes. In the assay for reverse mutation in Salmonella typhimurium, negative results were reported for L-proline at concentrations of up to 1000 mg/mL, with and without metabolic activation, in several strains of S. typhimurium (TA92, TA97, TA98, TA100, TA102, TA1530, TA1531, TA1532, TA1535, TA1537, TA1538, and TA1964). ECOTOXICITY STUDIES: Proline-treated plants showed high antioxidant enzymes activities (superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxydase) in roots and leaves as compared to Cd-treated plants. Proline plays an important role in plant response to various environmental stresses. For example, proline supplementation alleviated the deleterious effects of young olive plants exposed to Cd stress.

Proline plays an important role in plant response to various environmental stresses. However, its involvement in mitigation of heavy metal stress in plants remains elusive. In this study, we examined the effectiveness of exogenous proline (10 and 20 mM) in alleviating cadmium induced inhibitory effects in young olive plants (Olea europaea L. cv. Chemlali) exposed to two Cd levels (10 and 30 mg CdCl2/kg soil). The Cd treatment induced substantial accumulation of Cd in both root and leaf tissues and a decrease in gas exchange, photosynthetic pigments contents, uptake of essential elements (Ca, Mg and K) and plant biomass. Furthermore, an elevation of antioxidant enzymes activities (superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxydase) and proline content in association with relatively high amounts of hydrogen peroxide, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances and electrolyte leakage were observed. Interestingly, the application of exogenous proline alleviated the oxidative damage induced by Cd accumulation. In fact, Cd-stressed olive plants treated with proline showed an increase of antioxidant enzymes activities, photosynthetic activity, nutritional status, plant growth and oil content of olive fruit. Generally, it seems that proline supplementation alleviated the deleterious effects of young olive plants exposed to Cd stress.|The ability of exogenous compatible solutes, such as proline, to counteract cadmium (Cd) inhibitory effects in young date palm plants (Phoenix dactylifera L. cv Deglet Nour) was investigated. Two-year-old date palm plants were subjected for five months at different Cd stress levels (0, 10 and 30 mg CdCl2/kg soil) whether supplied or not with exogenous proline (20 mM) added through the irrigation water. Different levels of Cd stress altered plant growth, gas exchanges and chlorophyll content as well as water status, but at different extent among them. In contrast, an increase of antioxidant enzymes activities of Cd-treated plants in association with high amounts of proline content, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and electrolyte leakage (EL) were observed. Interestingly, exogenous proline mitigated the adverse effects of Cd on young date palm. Indeed, it alleviated the oxidative damage induced by Cd accumulation and established better levels of plant growth, water status and photosynthetic activity. Moreover, proline-treated plants showed high antioxidant enzymes activities (superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxydase) in roots and leaves as compared to Cd-treated plants.|Hydroponic experiments were conducted to investigate an effect of exogenous application of proline (Pro; 25 uM) in alleviating arsenate (As(V); 5 and 25 uM) toxicity in Solanum melongena L. (eggplant) seedlings. Exposure of As(V) declined growth of eggplant, which was coincided with an enhanced accumulation of As. However, exogenous Pro application alleviated As(V) toxicity in eggplant seedlings by reducing the accumulation of As. The fluorescence characteristics (JIP-test): phiP0, psi0, phiE0, PIABS, ABS/RC, TR0/RC, ET0/RC, DI0/RC, NPQ and qP were also affected by As(V). However, the effects of As(V) were more prominent on PIABS DI0/RC and NPQ. In Pro treated seedlings, following parameters viz. phiP0, psi0, phiE0 and PIABS were stimulated, while, energy flux parameters (ABS/RC, TR0/RC, ET0/RC and DI0/RC) were inhibited. Toxic effects of As(V) on photochemistry of photosystem II (PS II) were ameliorated by an exogenous application of Pro. Oxidative stress markers: superoxide radical, hydrogen peroxide and malondialdehyde (lipid peroxidation) were enhanced by As(V) exposure, however, their levels were significantly diminished by an exogenous application of Pro. Treatment of As(V) stimulated the activities of superoxide dismutase, peroxidase and catalase except that of glutathione-S-transferase. Exogenous Pro application improved the activities of enzymatic antioxidants. The level of endogenous Pro was higher in As(V) treated as well as in Pro fed seedlings. The activity of a key enzyme of Pro biosynthesis: delta(1)-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthetase was higher in Pro fed seedlings. The activity of Pro dehydrogenase was inhibited under As(V) stress, and its activity was minimum in case of Pro+As(V) combination. These results indicate that Pro metabolism could play a key role in regulating the accumulation of As and levels of antioxidants, which concomitantly result into a better growth of eggplant seedlings when compared to the As(V) treatments alone.|This study was aimed to evaluate protective and therapeutic effects of a specific mixture, containing vitamin C, lysine, proline, epigallocatechin gallate and zinc, as well as alpha-1-antitrypsin protein on lung tumorigenesis induced by benzo(a) pyrene [B(a)P] in mice. Swiss albino mice were divided into two main experiments, experiment (1) the mice were injected with 100 mg/kg B(a)P and lasted for 28 weeks, while experiment (2) the mice were injected with 8 doses each of 50 mg/kg B(a)P and lasted for 16 weeks. Each experiment (1 and 2) divided into five groups, group (I) received vehicle, group (II) received the protector mixture, group (III) received the carcinogen B(a)P, group (IV) received the protector together with the carcinogen (simultaneously) and group (V) received the carcinogen then the protector (consecutively). Total sialic acid, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, vascular epithelial growth factor, hydroxyproline levels, as well as elastase and gelatinase activities showed significant elevation in group (III) in the two experiments comparing to control group (P < 0.001). These biochemical alterations were associated with histopathological changes. Administration of the protector in group IV and group V causes significant decrease in such parameters with improvement in histopathological alterations with improvement in histopathological alterations when compared with group III in the two experiments (P < 0.001). The present protector mixture has the ability to suppress neoplastic alteration and restore the biochemical and histopathological parameters towards normal on lung carcinogenesis induced by benzo(a) pyrene in mice. Furthermore, the present mixture have more protective rather than therapeutic action.|For more Interactions (Complete) data for (L)-PROLINE (8 total), please visit the HSDB record page.

L-Proline is a major amino acid found in cartilage and is important for maintaining youthful skin as well as repair of muscle, connective tissue and skin damage. It is also essential for the immune system, and for necessary balance of this formula. It is an essential component of collagen and is important for proper functioning of joints and tendons. L-Proline is extremely important for the proper functioning of joints and tendons. Helps maintain and strengthen heart muscles.

L-proline is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Ingested dietary protein is denatured in the stomach due to low pH. Denaturing and unfolding of the protein makes the chain susceptible to proteolysis. Up to 15% of dietary protein may be cleaved to peptides and amino acids by pepsins in the stomach. In the duodenum and small intestine digestion continues through hydrolytic enzymes (e.g. trypsin, chymotrypsins, elastase, carboxypeptidase). The resultant mixture of peptides and amino acids is then transported into the mucosal cells by specific carrier systems for amino acids and for di- and tripeptides. The products of digestion are rapidly absorbed. Like other amino acids L-proline is absorbed from ileum and distal jejeunum.|Absorbed peptides are further hydrolyzed resulting in free amino acids which are secreted into the portal blood by specific carrier systems in the mucosal cell. Alternatively they are metabolized within the cell itself. Absorbed amino acids pass into the liver where a portion of the amino acids are used. The remainder pass through into the systemic circulation and are utilized by the peripheral tissue. L-proline is actively transported across the intestine from mucosa to serosal surface. The mechanism of absorption is that of the ion gradient. All L-amino acids are absorbed by Na+dependant, carrier mediated process. This transport is energy dependant by ATP. Plasma L-proline concentrations in normal subjects are reported to be ca. 168 uM/L +/- 60 mM/L with plasma samples collected from healthy volunteers after an overnight fast. As with most nutrients, plasma concentration of L-proline is subject to homeostasis. A number of hormones (e.g., thyroid hormone, catecholamines, and growth hormone) may affect plasma AA levels in diseases. However, in the physiologic state, their influence is probably marginal. However, there is the counter-regulatory hormone system with cortisol and glucagon which influences the blood level of amino acids involved in gluconeogenesis, such as L-proline.|Body losses of amino acids are minimal because amino acids filtered by the kidneys are actively reabsorbed. Also cutaneous losses are negligible. Since there is no long term storage for amino acids in mammals, excess amino acids are degraded, mainly in the liver. Metabolism of amino acids involves removal of the amino group which is converted to urea and excreted in the urine. After removal of the amino group the rest of the acid is utilized as energy source or in anabolism of other endogenous substances. /Amino acids/

Hepatic|L-proline exhibits the same metabolic pathway as several other amino acids do. Metabolism of L-proline is thus described by the entire pathway. This pathway (also known as "Ornithine and Proline Metabolism") describes the co-metabolism of arginine, ornithine, proline, citrulline and glutamate in humans. Arginine is synthesized from citrulline by the sequential action of the cytosolic enzymes argininosuccinate synthetase (ASS) and argininosuccinate lyase (ASL). Citrulline can be derived from ornithine via the catabolism of proline or glutamine/glutamate. Many of the reactions required to generate proline and glutamate from ornithine are located in the mitochondria. Proline is biosynthetically derived from glutamate and its immediate precursor, 1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate. The pathways linking arginine, glutamine, and proline are bidirectional. Thus, the net utilization or production of these amino acids is highly dependent on cell type and developmental stage. On a whole-body basis, synthesis of arginine occurs principally via the intestinal-renal axis, wherein epithelial cells of the small intestine, which produce citrulline primarily from glutamine and glutamate, collaborate with the proximal tubule cells of the kidney, which extract citrulline from the circulation and convert it to arginine, which is returned to the circulation. Consequently, impairment of small bowel or renal function can reduce endogenous arginine synthesis, thereby increasing the dietary requirement. Both proline and arginine are proteinogenic amino acids and are incorporated into proteins by prolyl-tRNA and arginyl-tRNA, which are synthesized by their respective tRNA synthetases. Arginine can also serve as a precursor for the synthesis of creatine and phopshocreatine through the intermediate guanidoacetic acid. A key component of the arginine/proline metabolic pathway is ornithine. In epithelial cells of the small intestine, ornithine is used primarily to synthesize citrulline and arginine, in liver cells surrounding the portal vein, ornithine functions primarily as an intermediate of the urea cycle, in liver cells surrounding the central vein, ornithine is used to synthesize glutamate and glutamine while in many peripheral tissues, ornithine is used for the synthesis of glutamate and proline.

Glycogenic, by L-Proline oxidase in the kidney, it is ring-opened and is oxidized to form L-Glutamic acid. L-Ornithine and L-Glutamic acid are converted to L-Proline via L-Glutamic acid-gamma-semialdehyde. It is contained abundantly in collagen, and is intimately involved in the function of arthrosis and chordae.

An isoleucine auxotrophic mutant of Brevibacterium flavum having resistance to sulfaguanidine and d,l-3,4-dehydroproline (DP) is able to accumulate 40 g/L l-proline. Brevibacterium flavum AP113 is claimed to produce 97.5 g/L l-proline; this mutant is characterized by isoleucine auxotrophy, resistance to DP, and osmotic pressure and incapable to degrade l-proline. A proline oxidase-less strain of Serratia marcescens, having resistance to DP, thiazoline-4-carboxylate and azetidine-2-carboxylate, overproduces 58.5 g/L l-proline into the culture medium. By amplification of the genes proA and proB in this type of regulatory mutant, a construct was obtained which yields 75 g/L l-proline.

Proline is a non-essential amino acid that is synthesized from glutamic acid. /SRP: A non-essential amino acid is considered "non-essential" because it can be made in the human body./ It is an essential component of collagen and is important for proper functioning of joints and tendons.|Non-essential amino acid for human develoment.|Proline composition of selected proteins: 6.3 g/100 g gelatin; 11.3 g/100 g casein; 5.1 g/16 g total nitrogen serum albumin; 8.1 g/100 g gamma-globulin; 8.5 g/100 g horse hemoglobin; 2.5 g/100 g insulin; 2.5 g/100 g clostridium botulinum toxin. /From table/

AOAC method 960.47, Amino Acids in Vitamin Preparations; microbiological method using basal media /amino acids/|AOAC method 979.20, Proline in Honey; ninhydrin reaction|The study compares official spectrophotometric methods for the determination of proline content in honey - those of the International Honey Commission (IHC) and the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC) - with the original Ough method. Results show that the extra time-consuming treatment stages added by the IHC method with respect to the Ough method are pointless. We demonstrate that the AOACs method proves to be the best in terms of accuracy and time saving. The optimized waiting time for the absorbance recording is set at 35 min from the removal of reaction tubes from the boiling bath used in the sample treatment. The optimized method was validated in the matrix: linearity up to 1800 mg/L, limit of detection 20 mg/L, limit of quantification 61 mg/L. The method was applied to 43 unifloral honey samples from the Marche region, Italy.
