RESUMO
To study the effect of insulin on leucine kinetics, three groups of conscious dogs were studied after an overnight fast (16-18 h). One, saline-infused group (n = 5), served as control. The other two groups were infused with somatostatin and constant replacement amount of glucagon; one group (n = 6) received no insulin replacement, to produce acute insulin deficiency, and the other (n = 6) was constantly replaced with 600 μU/kg per min insulin, to produce twice basal hyperinsulinemia. Hepatic and extrahepatic splanchnic (gut) balance of leucine and α-ketoisocaproate (KIC) were calculated using the arteriovenous difference technique. l,4,5,[3H]Leucine was used to measure the rates (micromoles per kilogram per minute) of appearance (Ra) and disappearance (Rd), and clearance (Cl) of plasma leucine (milliliters per kilogram per minute).
