The effect of diabetes (streptozotocin, 65 mg/kg i.p.), dietary protein intake (15-60%), and plasma amino acid concentrations on brain large neutral amino acid levels in rats was examined. After 20 days, the plasma concentrations of Met and the branched chain amino acids (BCAA), Val, Ile, and Leu were increased in diabetic rats. In brain tissue, Met and Val levels were increased but Thr, Tyr, and Typ concentrations were depressed. Increased protein consumption promoted a diabetic-like plasma amino acid pattern in normal rats while enhancing that of diabetic animals. With the exception of Thr, Gly, Val and Tyr, there was little effect on brain amino acid levels. A good association was found between the calculated brain influx rate and the actual brain concentration of Thr, Met, Tyr, and Try in diabetic animals. There was no correlation between brain influx rate and brain BCAA levels. The brain amino acid pattern in diabetes represents the combined effect of insulin insufficiency and composition of the diet ingested on plasma amino levels as well as metabolic adaptation within the brain itself.
