This study was carried out to analyze age-related changes on amino acid and insulin effects on muscle and liver protein synthesis. Conscious male rats, aged 12 (adult) and 24 (old) mo, were infused for 90 min with either saline, amino acids, or amino acids with insulin and glucose. Protein synthesis was measured during the last 15 min of infusion (flooding dose of valine with L-[2,3,4-3H]valine). Gastrocnemius protein mass was 29% lower in old rats than in adults. However, basal muscle absolute synthesis rates were unchanged with age, and fractional synthesis rates (FSR) were increased. Amino acids significantly stimulated muscle FSR to a similar extent (18-20%) in adult (P < 0.01) and old rats (P = 0.03 when variability introduced by muscle atrophy was taken into account by a variance-covariance analysis). Insulin did not elicit any additional effect. Liver protein synthesis did not change with age or in response to infusions. We conclude that, despite an age-related loss of muscle proteins, capacity of muscle protein synthesis to be stimulated is preserved with age.
