Response of muscle, liver and whole-body protein turnover to two different sources of protein in growing rats.

Martínez JA, Goena M, Santidrián S, Larralde J.

Abstract

A significant impairment in growth rate, food efficiency and weight of the gastrocnemius muscle was observed in rats fed a raw legume as the source of protein compared to casein-fed animals. No appreciable differences in chemical composition of the carcass were found. The source of dietary protein did not influence the ratio protein/DNA, DNA concentration or protein-synthesizing capacity (RNA/protein). The slower weight gain of animals fed the legume diet was attributed to a lower muscle protein synthesis, mediated by a depression of muscle RNA activity (grams protein synthesized/gram RNA) rather than changes in myofibrillar protein breakdown. In contrast liver protein synthesis appeared to be slightly increased in the legume-fed animals.
