Kinetic aspects of threonine (Thr) metabolism were examined in eight pigs fed hoursly with a diet containing either 0.68% (LT group) or 0.81% (HT group) of Thr (wt/wt), a corresponding to 10 and 30% Thr excess, respectively, compared with an "ideal" diet. Primary production (PR) and disposal (DR) rates were obtained for Thr, glycine (Gly), and 2-ketobutyrate (KB) after a 12-h continuous infusion of L-[U-14C]-Thr together with [1-13C]Gly and a 6-h continuous infusion of [1-14C]KB. Transfer of Thr into secondary pools was also monitored, and from these the rates of Thr oxidation through the catabolic pathways of L-Thr 3-dehydrogenase (DRThr-Gly) and threonine dehydratase (DRThr-KB) were estimated. For the LT group the results were (.mu.mol .cntdot. kg-1 .cntdot. h-1) PRThr 314 .+-. 3, PRGly 551 .+-. 24, PRKB 41 .+-. 3, DRThr-Gly 22 .+-. 2, and DRThr-KB 7 .+-. 1. For the HT group they were PRThr 301 .+-. 23, PRGly 598 .+-. 55, PRKB 39 .+-. 4, DRThr-Gly 32 .+-. 2, and DRThr-KB 8 .+-. 1. The increase in Thr intake (14 .mu.mol .cntdot. kg-1 .cntdot. h-1, P < 0.01) induced a commensurate increase in the sum of DRThr-Gly and DRThr-KB (14 .mu.mol .cntdot. kg-1 .cntdot. h-1, P < 0.01) when liver was used as the precursor pool. This was mainly due to the increased DRThr-Gly (13 .mu.mol .cntdot. kg-1 .cntdot. h-1, P < 0.01); the change in DRThr-KB was not statistically significant. By comparison of intracellular-to-plasma ratios of specific activities (or enrichments) for different tissues with each type of infusion, liver was shown to be the major site of production of Gly and KB from Thr. These data suggest that in fed growing pigs a 30% excess of Thr in the diet does not alter the partition of Thr oxidation, since 80% of Thr oxidation occurs throughout the L-Thr 3-dehydrogenase pathway for both LT and HT groups.
