Abstrakt: Fractional accretion rates of total body 3-methylhistidine containing proteins (actin and myosin) were elevated 40% to 120% in rats fed a high-carbohydrate diet containing 10 or 100 ppm cimaterol for 1 week. Fractional degradation and fractional synthesis rates of these proteins were examined by measuring total body 3-methylhistidine content and urinary excretion of 3-methylhistidine. Consumption of the diet containing 100 ppm cimaterol for 1 week caused a 25% reduction in fractional degradation rates and a concomitant 32% increase in fractional synthesis rates of 3-methylhistidine containing proteins. Effects of cimaterol on fractional accretion, degradation, and synthesis rates of 3-methylhistidine containing proteins diminished after 1 week. Cimaterol failed to influence plasma insulin, triiodothyronine, or corticosterone concentrations. The dramatic increase in accretion of 3-methylhistidine containing proteins observed during the first week rats are fed diets containing cimaterol is caused by reciprocal action on protein degradation and synthesis.
