Euglycemic hyperinsulinemia augments amino acid uptake by human leg tissues during hyperaminoacidemia

The effect of insulin on leg and whole body protein turnover was determined by leg exchange and plasma kinetics of [15N]phenylalanine and [1-13C]leucine during amino acid (AA) sufficiency. Eight healthy subjects were studied during AA infusion alone and during infusion of glucose and insulin (0.29 nmol.m-2.min-1) with additional AA. Insulin strongly stimulated the positive leg AA balance seen with AA (AA alone, 2.6 +/- 6.1 vs. insulin + AA, 33.1 +/- 5.8 nmol phenylalanine . 100 g leg-1.min-1; P less than 0.001). Phenylalanine uptake by leg tissues rose during insulin plus AA (47.3 +/- 11.5 vs. 73.1 +/- 7.3 nmol. 100 g-1.min-1; P = 0.022) but with only a slight reduction in leg phenylalanine release (44.7 +/- 8.1 vs. 40.0 +/- 7.9 nmol.100 g-1.min-1). Leg nonoxidative leucine plus alpha-ketoisocaproate (KIC) uptake was increased slightly with insulin (129 +/- 26 vs. 146 +/- 21 nmol.100 g-1. min-1), but leg leucine oxidation increased fourfold (P = 0.012). Leg leucine plus KIC release was reduced by insulin (120 +/- 17 vs. 84 +/- 10 nmol.100 g-1.min-1; P = 0.005); endogenous leucine appearance of leucine and phenylalanine decreased with insulin (leucine, 1.97 +/- 0.08 vs. 1.65 +/- 0.10; phenylalanine, 0.76 +/- 0.03 vs. 0.54 +/- 0.08 mumols.kg-1.min-1; P less than 0.02). The results suggest that insulin, given with sufficient amino acids, may stimulate leg and whole body protein balance by mechanisms including stimulation of protein synthesis and inhibition of protein breakdown.
