Our previous in vitro studies with rat tissues have suggested that ketone bodies may regulate the oxidation of branched-chain amino acids. To investigate the physiological and clinical significance of this observation, we determined the effect of starvation-induced ketosis on leucine metabolism in obese subjects. Rates of turnover, plasma clearance, and expiratory14CO2production (indicator of oxidation) after intravenous infusion of a trace amount of [1-14C]-leucine were measured before and one week after starvation (80 cal/day). This dietary treatment caused a significant increase in the rate of14CO2production, but significantly reduced the turnover (9.1 versus 7.0 mmole/hr) and plasma clearance (65 versus 34 L/hr) of leucine. When ketosis was prevented by a daily intake of 300 calories of carbohydrate, the rate of14CO2production was significantly decreased. On the other hand, starvation-induced decreases in turnover and plasma clearance of leucine, increases in plasma concentrations of branched-chain amino acids (marker for heightened proteolysis), decreases in plasma concentrations of alanine (marker for stimulated hepatic gluconeogenesis), and decreases in plasma concentrations of glucose and insulin were not prevented until carbohydrate intake was increased to 500 or 800 calories per day. Increases in daily carbohydrate intake (up to 500 calories) were accompanied by decreases in urinary excretion of nitrogen, but not 3-methylhistidine (marker for muscle proteolysis). Our data suggest that: (1) ketosis directly or indirectly enhances oxidation of leucine, (2) starvation-induced ketosis, proteolysis, and gluconeogenesis can be prevented sequentially by carbohydrate diets providing fro 300–800 calories per day, (3) the reduced turnover of leucine in starvation is most likely the result of reduced protein synthesis, and (4) diminution of branched-chain amino acid catabolism is a component of the nitrogen-sparing effect of carbohydrate.
