A diet containing adequate amounts of protein rapidly suppresses myofibrillar protein degradation in rats and mice. This study determined whether dietary amino acids inhibit postprandial protein degradation in rat skeletal muscle. When rats fed on a 20% casein diet for 1 h after 18 h starvation, the rate of myofibrillar protein degradation measured by N-T-methylhistidine release from the isolated extensor digitorum longus muscle was significantly (p < 0.05) decreased at 4 h after refeeding. A diet containing an amino acid mixture which is the same composition as casein also reduced myofibrillar protein degradation at 4 h after refeeding (p < 0.05). An essential amino acid mixture (15.1%, corresponding to casein composition) and a leucine (2.9%) diets reduced the rate of myofibrillar protein degradation after refeeding (p < 0.05), whereas a protein free diet did not. Administration of leucine alone (0.135 g/100 g body weight) by a feeding tube induced a decrease in the rate of myofibrillar protein degradation at 2 h after administration (p < 0.05), whereas the serum insulin concentration was constant after leucine administration. These results suggested that leucine is one of regulating factors of myofibrillar protein degradation after refeeding of a protein diet. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
