Abstract:In two groups of five adults, each adapted to two different dietary regimens for 6 days, the metabolic fate of dietary 1-(13)C]leucine was examined when ingested either together with a mixture of free amino acids simulating casein (extrinsically labeled; condition A), along with the intact casein (extrinsically labeled; condition B), or bound to casein (intrinsically labeled; condition C). Fed state leucine oxidation (Ox), nonoxidative leucine disposal (NOLD), protein breakdown, and splanchnic uptake have been compared using an 8-h oral 1-(13)C]leucine and intravenous (2)H(3)]leucine tracer protocol while giving eight equal hourly mixed meals. Lower leucine Ox, increased NOLD, and net protein synthesis were found with condition C compared with condition A (19.3 vs. 24.9; 77 vs. 55.8; 18.9 vs. 12.3 micromol. kg(-1). 30 min(-1); P < 0.05). Ox and NOLD did not differ between conditions B and C. Splanchnic leucine uptake calculated from 1-(13)C]- and (2)H(3)]leucine plasma enrichments was between 24 and 35%. These findings indicate that the form in which leucine is consumed affects its immediate metabolic fate and retention by the body; the implications of these findings for the tracer balance technique and estimation of amino acid requirements are discussed.
