Rates of Lysine Catabolism Are Inversely Related to Rates of Protein Synthesis When Measured Concurrently in Adult Female Rats Induced to Grow at Different Rates1,2,3

Mark J. Gahl,*^4 N. J. Benevenga*^5 and Thomas D. Crenshaw^

ABSTRACT To test the effect of changes in the rate of protein synthesis on amino acid oxidation, both were studied concurrently in individual 200-g female Sprague-Dawley rats. In a growth trial (Experiment 1), recombinant bovine somatotropin (rbST) was injected subcutaneously (0, 2 or 12 mg/d) over 6 d (n = 4 rats per rbST level). Weight gain increased with rbST level ...
