Anabolic response to insulin

We hypothesize that sex influences whole-body protein anabolism in the postabsorptive state and in response to hyperinsulinemia. Kinetics of 3-(3)H-glucose and (13)C-leucine were studied in 16 men and 15 women after energy- and protein-controlled diets, before and during a hyperinsulinemic, euglycemic, isoaminoacidemic clamp. In the postabsorptive state, women had 20% higher rates of leucine Ra … Read more
