High-dose glucocorticoid treatment results in protein wasting. To determine whether such therapy affects leucine oxidation in the postabsorptive state and the disposal of dietary amino acids, eight normal subjects were studied twice in random order, once after 5 days of prednisone (20 mg three times daily) and on a second occasion without prednisone as a control. In the postabsorptive state prednisone therapy increased (P less than 0.05) plasma concentrations of leucine, alpha-ketoisocaproate, glucose, insulin, and C-peptide, as well as leucine carbon flux and oxidation calculated by means of isotope dilution techniques and [1-13C]leucine. During infusion of a chemically defined meal, total leucine carbon flux and oxidation increased similarly on both study days, but leucine oxidation was greater (P less than 0.01) during prednisone treatment; net leucine balance became positive on the control day but remained negative or zero on the prednisone study day despite higher (P less than 0.05) plasma insulin concentrations. These studies demonstrate that high-dose glucocorticoid treatment impairs the balance of the essential amino acid leucine in both the postabsorptive and absorptive states in humans.
