The effect of the lipidic composition of the diet on the proteic synthesis of the male Sprague-Dawley rats fed parenterally for four days has been studied. All animals received identical nitrogen and caloric intake, but the ratio of medium to long-chain triglycerides (MCT/LCT) varied: group 1, control (0/100); group 2 (30/70); group 3 (50/50) and group 4 (70/30). Hepatic and jejunal protein synthesis were determined with L-(1-14C)-leucine. In groups 1, 3 and 4 muscle protein synthesis was measured with L-(3,4-3H)-phenylalanine. In liver, there were no significant differences in the fractional synthesis rate among the groups. In jejunum, the control group showed a higher fractional synthesis rate with statistically significant differences among the groups. In muscle, group 3 presented the highest fractional synthesis rate with statistically significant differences (p less than 0.05).

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
