The role of degradation in the acute control of protein balance in adult man: failure of feeding to stimulate protein synthesis as assessed by L-[1-13C]leucin infusion

Metabolism: Clinical and Experimental
S MelvilleP J Garlick

Abstract

The effect of feeding on whole-body protein turnover was measured in six healthy volunteers using the essential amino acid, L-[1-13C]leucine, as a tracer for protein metabolism. Varied lengths of periods of feeding and isotope infusion produced different apparent responses to feeding. When parameters of protein turnover were estimated from 8-hour infusions, the change from post-absorptive in the first four hours to mixed feeding during the final four hours was found to produce positive leucine balance by decreasing degradation from 89.5 +/- 5.0 to 31.7 +/- 7.3 mumol leucine/kg/h (P less than .001), with no apparent change in synthesis. By contrast, when tracer was infused for 24 hours with 12 hours of feeding followed by 12 hours of fasting, the estimate of protein synthesis during feeding was 35% higher than during fasting (P less than .01). However, when tracer infusion during the 12-hour feeding/12-hour fasting protocol was limited to the last four hours of each nutritional period, the estimates of fed and fasted protein synthesis showed no significant difference, 71.3 +/- 6.5 and 66.2 +/- 5.6 respectively, while the calculated rate of protein degradation was 43% lower during feeding (P less than .002). As relatively higher ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.
