This study was
undertaken to determine whether the protein feeding pattern could
induce chronic adaptation of protein turnover. After a 15-day adaptive
period, elderly (68 yr) and young (26 yr) women received, for 14 days,
a diet providing 200 KJ · kg fat-free mass
(FFM)
1 · day
1,
where the daily protein intake (1.7 g protein · kg
FFM
1 · day

was either spread over 4 meals in the spread pattern or mainly (80%)
consumed at noon in the pulse pattern. One day after the end of the
dietary treatment, whole body leucine kinetics were measured by use of
a continuous [13C]leucine infusion, both in the
postabsorptive state and in the same fed state. The pulse pattern was
able to induce, in young as in elderly women, a lower postabsorptive
leucine oxidation and endogenous leucine flux than the spread pattern
and improved the responsiveness of nonoxidative leucine disposal during
4-h oral feeding. Thus the pulse pattern was able to induce chronic regulation of protein metabolism in young as in elderly women.
