The Absolute

A method described by McFarlane (1963a) for the measurement of the absolute rate of synthesis of liver-made plasma proteins was used to show that, within a few hours of giving bovine growth hormone to rats, fibrinogen synthesis increased significantly without a change in albumin synthesis.

Evidence suggests that the albumin gene contains a growth hormone (GH) responsive element. Our purpose was to determine if GH administration to older men increases the rate of albumin synthesis and whether this is related to the increase in nitrogen retention observed during short-term recombinant human GH (rhGH) administration. Five older men (60-75 yr) received daily injections (40 micrograms/kg) of rhGH for 2 wk, whereas four others received daily injections (10 micrograms/kg) for 4 wk. In both the 2- and 4-wk recipients, rhGH administration increased (P < 0.05) fasting plasma insulin-like growth factor I levels and reduced (P < 0.05) 24-h urinary nitrogen excretion. However, during an overnight fast, the fractional rate of albumin synthesis determined by the in vivo rate of incorporation of intravenously infused L-[1-13C]leucine into plasma albumin was unchanged after 2 or 4 wk of treatment. The average plasma albumin fractional synthetic rate was 8.6 +/- 0.6%/day before and 9.4 +/- 0.7%/day after rhGH treatment (P = 0.12). We conclude that short-term rhGH administration and the subsequent increase in urinary nitrogen retention does not result in an increase in the rate of plasma albumin synthesis in older men.
