title: On the potential of amino acids to support survival and energy status of Nippostrongylus brasiliensis in vitro.
abstract: Aerobically but not anaerobically, amino acids can sustain motility as well as glycogen and ATP levels of N. brasiliensis as effectively as glucose can. Proline is the most active amino acid and in combination with lysine, cysteine and phenylalanine, can completely replace glucose.
