Therefore, we studied the effects of three isocaloric diets with identical protein content and low-carbohydrate\/high-fat (2% and 83% of total energy, respectively), intermediate-carbohydrate\/intermediate-fat (44% and 41% of total energy, respectively), and high-carbohydrate\/low-fat (85% and 0% of total energy, respectively) content in six healthy men. Whole body protein metabolism was assessed by 24-h urinary nitrogen excretion, postabsorptive leucine kinetics, and fibrinogen and albumin synthesis by infusion of [1-13C]leucine and [1-13C]valine.<\/jats:p><jats:p>The low-carbohydrate\/high-fat diet resulted in lower absorptive and postabsorptive plasma insulin concentrations, and higher rates of nitrogen excretion compared with the other two diets: 15.3 \u00b1 0.9 vs. 12.1 \u00b1 1.1 (P = 0.03) and 10.8 \u00b1 0.5 g\/24 h (P = 0.005), respectively. Postabsorptive rates of appearance of leucine and of leucine oxidation were not different among the three diets. In addition, dietary carbohydrate content did not affect the synthesis rates of fibrinogen and albumin.<\/jats:p><jats:p>In conclusion, eucaloric carbohydrate deprivation increases 24-h nitrogen loss but does not affect postabsorptive protein metabolism at the hepatic and whole body level. By deduction, dietary carbohydrate is required for an optimal regulation of absorptive, rather than postabsorptive, protein metabolism.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1210\/jc.2002-021087","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,8,14]],"date-time":"2003-08-14T22:54:13Z","timestamp":1060901653000},"page":"3801-3805","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["Dietary Carbohydrate Deprivation Increases 24-Hour Nitrogen Excretion without Affecting Postabsorptive Hepatic or Whole Body Protein Metabolism in Healthy Men"],"prefix":"10.1210","volume":"88","author":[{"given":"P.
