Effects of Supplementation of Branched-Chain Amino Acids to Reduced-Protein Diet on Skeletal Muscle Protein Synthesis and Degradation in the Fed and Fasted States in a Piglet Model

Abstract: Supplementation of branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) has been demonstrated to promote skeletal muscle mass gain, but the mechanisms underlying this observation are still unknown. Since the regulation of muscle mass depends on a dynamic equilibrium (fasted losses–fed gains) in protein turnover, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of BCAA supplementation on muscle protein synthesis and degradation in fed/fasted states and the related mechanisms. Fourteen 26- (Experiment 1) and 28-day-old (Experi… Show more

“…The feeding-induced stimulation of muscle protein synthesis in pigs is independently regulated by the increase of insulin and AA (54) . Our previous study has shown that the level of plasma insulin is not affected by BCAA supplementation (55) , which is consistent with results of other studies obtained by the infusion of individual BCAA or mixed EAA (4,56) . Thus, it seems that the anabolic effect of BCAA is unlikely mediated by insulin.…”

“…Muscle growth reflects protein accretion which is a balance between the rates of protein synthesis and degradation [ 104 ]. The mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) pathway plays a decisive role in controlling protein synthesis [ 105 ].…”

“…The result of this work indicated that sulphur amino acids levels in RDP were higher than that of ideal protein of previous studies [16,17,18]. The relative levels of the three branched chain amino acids (Leu, Ile, Val) were high, especially for Ile which could be considered as profitable for meat production and pig immunity owing to specific roles of these amino acids in that metabolisms [27]. Finally, high crude protein and amino acid levels in RDP could thus help to replace expensive protein sources as fishmeal or soybean meal for swine.…”
