Correlation between the urinary excretion of acid-soluble peptides, fractional synthesis rate of whole body proteins, and plasma immunoreactive insulin-like growth factor-l/somatomedin C concentration in the rat
Keyword(s):
The relations between the urinary excretion of acid-soluble peptide (ASP)-form amino acids, the rate of whole body protein synthesis and plasma immunoreactive insulin-like growth factor-1/somatomedin C concentration were investigated in rats. The urinary ASP-form leucine plus valine excretion correlated well with the rate of whole body protein synthesis and with the plasma immunoreactive insulin-like growth factor-1 concentration. The results provide further evidence for the hypothesis that urinary excretion of ASP is an excellent index of the status of protein metabolism in animals.
