A multitracer stable isotope quantification of the effects of arginine intake on whole body arginine metabolism in neonatal piglets. Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 293: E811-E818, 2007. First published June 26, 2007; doi:10.1152/ajpendo.00290.2007.- We have previously shown that deficient arginine intake increased the rate of endogenous arginine synthesis from proline. In this paper, we report in vivo quantification of the effects of arginine intake on total endogenous arginine synthesis, on the rates of conversion between arginine, citrulline, ornithine, and proline, and on nitric oxide synthesis. Male piglets, with gastric catheters for diet and isotope infusion and femoral vein catheters for blood sampling, received a complete diet for 2 days and then either a generous (+ Arg; 1.80 g center dot kg(-1) center dot day(-1); n = 5) or deficient (-Arg; 0.20 g center dot kg(-1) center dot day(-1); n =5) arginine diet for 5 days. On day 7, piglets received a primed, constant infusion of [guanido-N-15(2)] arginine, [ureido-C-13; 5,5-H-2(2)] citrulline, [U-C-13(5)] ornithine, and [N-15; U- C-13(5)] proline in an integrated study of the metabolism of arginine and its precursors. Arginine synthesis (mu mol center dot kg(-1)center dot h(-1)) from both proline (+Arg: 42, -Arg: 74, pooled SE: 5) and citrulline (+ Arg: 67, - Arg: 120; pooled SE: 15) were higher in piglets receiving the -Arg diet ( P < 0.05); and for both diets proline accounted for similar to 60% of total endogenous arginine synthesis. The conversion of proline to citrulline (+Arg: 39, - Arg: 67, pooled SE: 6) was similar to the proline-to-arginine conversion, confirming that citrulline formation limits arginine synthesis from proline in piglets. Nitric oxide synthesis (mu mol center dot kg(-1) center dot h(-1)), measured by the rate conversion of [guanido-N-15(2)] arginine to [ureido-N-15] citrulline, was greater in piglets receiving the - Arg diet ( 105) than in those receiving the - Arg diet ( 46, pooled SE: 10; P < 0.05). This multi-isotope method successfully allowed many aspects of arginine metabolism to be quantified simultaneously in vivo.
