Transmembrane transport and intracellular kinetics of amino acids in human skeletal muscle

G. Biolo, R. Y. Fleming, S. P. Maggi and R. R. Wolfe
Department of Internal Medicine, University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston.

We have used stable isotopic tracers of amino acids to measure in vivo transmembrane transport of phenylalanine, leucine, lysine, alanine, and glutamine as well as the rates of intracellular amino acid appearance from proteolysis, de novo synthesis, and disappearance to protein synthesis in human skeletal muscle. Calculations were based on data obtained by the arteriovenous catheterization of the femoral vessels and muscle biopsy. We found that the fractional contribution of transport from the bloodstream to the total intracellular amino acid appearance depends on the individual amino acid, varying between 0.63 +/- 0.02 for phenylalanine and 0.22 +/- 0.02 for alanine. Rates of alanine and glutamine de novo synthesis were approximately eight and five times their rate of appearance from protein breakdown, respectively. The model-derived rate of protein synthesis was highly correlated with the same value calculated by means of the tracer incorporation technique. Furthermore, amino acid transport rates were in the range expected from literature values. Consequently, we conclude that our new model provides a valid means of quantifying the important aspects of protein synthesis, breakdown, and amino acid transport in human subjects.
