Amino acid supply and protein metabolism in isolated perfused rat skeletal muscle. 1982

L C Ward, and K N Boorman, and P J Buttery

The uptake of amino acids by the perfused rat hind-limb at increasing perfusate amino acid concentrations was studied both in the presence and absence of insulin. The uptake of the essential amino acids could be correlated with their concentrations in muscle protein. A net protein synthetic rate was calculated from the predicted incorporation of phenylalanine and was 33 nmol h-1g-1, a value in good agreement with those obtained in other studies. The possible significance of the supply of leucine in the regulation of muscle protein synthesis is considered.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).
