RESUMO

BACKGROUND & AIMS: As life expectancy increases, an increasing older population may require surgery with perioperative nutritional management. While little is known about the combined effect of age and stress on amino acid metabolism during enteral nutrition, we hypothesized that blood amino acid bioavailability may be influenced not only by the characteristics of the ingested protein but also by intestinal ageing and splanchnic sequestration of amino acids. Plasma amino acid kinetics were thus evaluated in aged and adult rats receiving continuous enteral nutrition before and after standardized surgical stress. METHODS: Sixteen 5-month-old and sixteen 21-month-old male rats were used. After a gastrostomy, the insertion of a jugular vein catheter and a one-week recovery, the animals were enterally fed with commercially available formulas containing whole milk proteins or a whey hydrolysate for 24 h before (healthy state) and 18 h after a standardized laparotomy (surgical stress). Data were analyzed by 3-factor ANOVA. RESULTS: In all rats, enteral nutrition was associated with a marked increase in plasma alanine, threonine, lysine and proline (+50 to +150 µmol/L; p < 0.001), and a decrease in glycine (≈-80 µmol/L; p < 0.01). For most amino acids, their availability depended first on the amino acid composition of each protein and second on surgical stress. Aging was only associated with higher tyrosine and threonine availability (p < 0.001). There was only limited statistical interaction between age and surgical stress. CONCLUSION: In rats, plasma amino acid availability during continuous enteral nutrition is determined by the nature of the protein source and the occurrence of stress. The effects of aging on plasma amino acid availability seem very limited. Commonly used formulas therefore appear to be as suitable for elderly patients as for adult patients.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Dietary amino acid (AA) requirements increase after a surgical stress while the systemic AA availability from the diet decreases with age, due to splanchnic sequestration. While immune-enhancing diets (IEDs) have been recommended for the nutritional management of surgical patients, the systemic bioavailability of their AA supply has not been evaluated in elderly surgical patients. This was determined in surgically-stressed IED-fed aged rats. METHODS: Thirty-four 5-month- or 21-month-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were used. After a gastrostomy and placement of a jugular vein catheter and a one-week recovery period, the animals underwent two 24 h-enteral feedings with an arginine-enriched IED (Impact®, Nestlé Health Science) before (healthy state) and 18 h after a standardized laparotomy, used as a model of surgical stress. During enteral nutrition, blood samples were repeatedly collected to measure plasma AA bioavailability (incremental areas under the curve) at 2, 5 and 24 h. Surgical stress was evaluated from urinary catecholamines and plasma protein profile. RESULTS: Whatever the age or stress situation, IED feeding was associated with decreased plasma glycine and increased alanine, proline and arginine. Aging was mainly associated with a delayed plasma AA accumulation in the first hours after the initiation of enteral nutrition. Stress was associated with higher plasma arginine increase and lower histidine, methionine, phenylalanine and tyrosine accumulation. Age and stress interactions seem limited. CONCLUSIONS: AA bioavailability from an arginine-enriched IED seems to be maintained whatever age and stress situation. Aging appears to be mainly associated with a delay in plasma AA accumulation probably related to age-associated splanchnic sequestration of AAs. Additional effects of surgical stress per se seem limited.

RESUMO

Supplementation of enteral nutrition (EN) by specific amino acids (AAs) has been proposed to prevent muscle protein loss in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Citrulline (Cit), which has been shown to stimulate muscle protein synthesis in other situations, may be of interest in this setting. Our aim was to assess the effect of Cit in three catabolic models relevant to critical illness: endotoxemia (LPS), traumatic brain injury (TBI), and TBI with infectious complications (TBI-Ec), which are characterized by different alterations in protein homeostasis. Fifty-eight male Sprague-Dawley rats (200-220 g) were randomized to receive a standard diet ad libitum (CON, n = 9) or to undergo catabolic injuries on day 0 (D0, n = 49), and EN (Sondalis HP energy® 290 kcal/kg/d) from day 1 (D1) combined with Cit (2 g/kg/d) or isonitrogenous non-essential AAs (NEAAs) until day 3 (D3). Endotoxemia was induced by IP injection of LPS from E. coli (3 mg/kg), TBI by hydraulic percussion, and infectious complications (TBI-Ec) by administration of luminescent E. coli on D1. Nitrogen balance (ΔN) and 3-methylhistidine (3-MHis) were measured daily. Muscle protein synthesis (MPS, measured by the SUnSET method) and mTORC1 activation (S6K-1 and 4E-BP1 phosphorylation) were measured on D3 2 h after the arrest of enteral nutrition in soleus, extensor digitorum longus (EDL), gastrocnemius and tibialis muscles. ΔN was lower (p < 0.001) in all three models of injury compared with basal and CON from D1 to D3, and more negative in the LPS-CIT (p < 0.05) than in the LPS group. The 3-MHis/creatinine ratio was significantly increased on D1 in all groups compared with CON, and on D2 only in the LPS and TBI groups (p < 0.0001, LPS and TBI vs. CON). MPS was similar in all groups in soleus and tibialis but significantly higher in EDL in LPS-CIT [LPS-CIT: 4.5 ± 1.7 (mean ± SD) vs. CON: 2.3 ± 1.2; and vs. LPS-NEAA: 3.1 ± 2.3] and in gastrocnemius (LPS-CIT vs. CON; p = 0.05). S6K-1 phosphorylation in the EDL was also higher in LPS-CIT vs. CON (LPS-CIT: 0.94 ± 0.51 CON: 0.42 ± 0.28), but not in gastrocnemius. IL-6 plasma level was significantly higher in all the catabolic groups vs. CON (p < 0.005) with no difference between treatments (Cit or NEAAs). In conclusion, the TBI model showed only a rise in muscle proteolysis, whereas the LPS model displayed a rise in both protein synthesis and proteolysis. Secondly, our results show that the Cit effect varies according to the type of injury and to the muscle under study. The stimulation of MPS rate and the mTOR pathway in LPS-treated rats contrasts with degraded ΔN, suggesting that the Cit effect on protein metabolism in critically ill rats is limited at the whole-body level.

RESUMO

Low calorie diets are designed to reduce body weight and fat mass, but they also lead to a detrimental loss of lean body mass, which is an important problem for overweight people trying to lose weight. In this context, a specific dietary intervention that preserves muscle mass in people following a slimming regime would be of great benefit. Leucine (LEU) and Citrulline (CIT) are known to stimulate muscle protein synthesis (MPS) in post-prandial and post-absorptive state, respectively. This makes them interesting bioactive components to test in the context of dietary restriction. We tested the concept of combining LEU and CIT in adult female rats. We postulated that the sequential administration of LEU (mixed in chow) and CIT (given in drinking water before a rest period) could be beneficial for preservation of muscle function during food restriction. Sixty female rats (22 weeks old) were randomized into six groups: one group fed ad libitum with a standard diet (C) and five food-restricted groups (60 % of spontaneous intake for 2 weeks) receiving a standard diet (R group), a CIT-supplemented diet (0.2 or 1 g/kg/day, CIT0.2 group and CIT1 group, respectively), a LEU-supplemented diet (1.0 g/kg/day) or a CIT + LEU-supplemented diet (CIT + LEU 1.0 g/kg/day each). At the end of the experiment, body composition, muscle contractile properties and muscle protein synthesis (MPS) rate were studied in the tibialis anterior muscle. Dietary restriction tended to decrease MPS (R: 2.5 ± 0.2 vs. C: 3.4 ± 0.4 %/day, p = 0.06) and decrease muscle strength (R: 3,045 ± 663 vs. C: 5,650 ± 661 A.U., p = 0.03). Only CIT administration (1 g/kg) was able to restore MPS (CIT1: 3.4 ± 0.3 vs. R: 2.5 ± 0.2 %/day, p = 0.05) and increase muscle maximum tetanic force (CIT1: 441 ± 15 vs. R: 392 ± 22 g, p = 0.05) and muscle strength (CIT1: 4,259 ± 478 vs. R: 3,045 ± 663 A.U., p = 0.05). LEU had no effect and CIT + LEU supplementation had few effects, limited to adipose mass and fatigue force. The results of this study highlight the ability of CIT alone to preserve muscle function during dietary restriction. Surprisingly, LEU antagonized some effects of CIT. The mechanisms involved in this antagonistic effect warrant further study.

RESUMO

Arginine (Arg) and glutamine (Gln) utilization is greatly increased during catabolic stress. While the supply of both amino acids has been advocated in this situation, arginine administration is possibly associated with deleterious effects. From a metabolic point of view, these two amino acids are reciprocal precursors via ornithine aminotransferase (OAT). We hypothesized that OAT plays a key role in the interconversion between Arg and Gln. To test this hypothesis, we evaluated the influence of OAT activity in a model of septic shock induced by intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in wild-type (WT) and transgenic mice overexpressing OAT (OAT) in the liver, kidney and intestine, i.e. the three main organs of OAT expression. Plasma and tissue amino acid concentrations and tissue OAT expression and activity were measured. Five hours after LPS injection, WT and OAT mice showed a similar response to LPS in terms of inflammatory cytokine production and protein catabolism, suggesting that the interconversion between Arg and Gln through this pathway remains limited. Endotoxemia led to a significant decrease in plasma Orn levels and an increase in liver Orn levels. Of note, Orn levels were always lower in OAT mice. While only plasma Arg and Gln remained unaffected by LPS treatment, hepatic Gln was significantly increased without any difference between the two genotypes. In this model of early endotoxemia, arginine and glutamine maintained their metabolic homeostasis. Our results show an inhibition of OAT activity and expression in the liver following LPS treatment. These data highlight the importance of OAT in ornithine metabolism, especially in the liver, and suggest a post-transcriptional regulation of OAT by LPS in the liver.
