A model of leucine metabolism in the hind-limb muscles of the milk-fed lamb was developed which permitted simultaneous estimation of the rates of protein synthesis (Ks, days-1), degradation (Kd) and therefore gain (Kg) of muscle in vivo. The conclusions drawn from the model were: the rate of protein synthesis in muscle was related to uptake of leucine; the rate of degradation of protein was related to leucine output, as leucine, or its corresponding oxo acid, 4-methyl-2-oxopentanoic acid, or CO2. These findings support findings drawn from a wide range of studies in vitro. There was no correlation between rate of protein synthesis and rate of protein degradation, which suggests that the method can allow independent estimates of each. Estimates of protein synthesis obtained from the model (of leucine metabolism in muscle) were compared with those obtained simultaneously by constant infusion of radioisotope and analysis of incorporation into tissue. There were no significant differences between the mean values obtained for synthesis (Ks), gain (Kg) and degradation (Kd) by either method (Ks 0.051 +/- 0.002, 0.046 +/- 0.007; Kg 0.016 +/- 0.002, 0.004 +/- 0.008; Kd 0.035 +/- 0.004, 0.041 +/- 0.008 day-1, respectively, for tissue analysis and the model). However, Ks obtained from the model was significantly and positively correlated with uptake of leucine from plasma, whereas Ks obtained from tissue analysis was not.
