The metabolism ofd- andl-lysine has been studied in the chicken using both14C and15N labels. In contrast to the rat, the chicken actively metabolizedd-lysine andl-pipecolate. The data indicate thatd-lysine is degraded via conversion to pipecolate, α-aminoadipate, α-ketoadipate, and eventually to CO2. The α-nitrogen atom ofd-lysine is the first one removed from the carbon skeleton by this route.l-Lysine is metabolized by two alternate pathways which converge at α-aminoadipate. The major pathway, which results in the retention of the α-nitrogen atom ofl-lysine in α-aminoadipate, includes saccharopine as a precursor of α-aminoadipate and is thus identical tol-lysine catabolism in rats. The pathway which is indicated to be the minor one includesl-pipecolate as a precursor of α-aminoadipate and results in the retention of the ϵ-nitrogen atom ofl-lysine in α-aminoadipate. Even though saccharopine is indicated to be an intermediate inl-lysine breakdown, a large percentage of an intramuscularly injected dose is excreted unchanged in the urine.
