Plasma somatomedin C (Sm-C)/insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) concentrations reflect changes in N balance induced by manipulation of nutrient intake. To assess the Sm-C/IGF-I response to refeeding a protein restricted diet in which the N source was supplemented with essential amino acids, 6 normal adults were fasted for 5 days, then refed for 9 days diets consisting of 35 kcals/kg and 0.48 g protein/kg body wt. In one diet, 80% of the N was supplied as essential amino acids, and in the other, 80% was supplied as nonessential amino acids. Following the first fast/refeed cycle, a control diet was eaten for 2 wk before the fast was repeated and the other test diet was ingested. The refeeding diets were given a random order. Plasma Sm-C/IGF-I fell from a pre-fast mean of 1.64 .+-. 0.24 U/ml (mean .+-. 1 SEM [standard error of the mean]) to 0.67 .+-. 0.18 (P < 0.001) following fasting, and rose to 1.41 .+-. 0.19 U/ml (P < 0.001) following ingestion of the diet with supplemental essential amino acids. When the same subjects were refed a diet in which 80% of the N was in the form of nonessential amino acids, the plasma Sm-C/iGF-I concentrations rose from 0.74 .+-. 0.17 to 1.15 U/ml (P < 0.01). This increase was significantly less than that observed after ingestion of the essential amino acids supplemented diet (0.74 .+-. 0.10 U/ml vs. 0.40 .+-. 0.11 U/ml P < 0.02). Changes in estimated N balance correlated with changes in Sm-C/IGF-I (r = 0.81). The mean daily estimated N balance on the diet with supplemental essential amino acids was -1.62 .+-. 0.20 g/day, whereas subjects fed the diet high in nonessential amino acids had significantly more negative estimated N balance (-3.4 .+-. 0.18 g/day, P < 0.001). Serum prealbumin concentrations also declined with fasting and rose with refeeding. As with Sm-C/IGF-I the increase in prealbumin concentrations was significantly greater when subjects were refed the diet supplemented with essential amino acids. Plasma Sm-C/IGF-I measurements may be a useful method for monitoring the response to nutritient intake, and may be helpful in contructing diets which provide more favroable N balance during protein restriction.
