Popis: OBJECTIVES: The direct assessment of ileal samples of amino acid (AA) digestibility is invasive in humans. A less invasive but indirect method, namely « dual tracer » was recently developed. It relies on the plasma isotopic enrichment ratio of two labeled protein, a reference protein or alternately AAs labeled with (13)C and the test protein labeled with (15)N. This recent method has not yet been challenged against direct measurement of ileal digestibility. METHODS: Seven healthy volunteers were intubated with naso-ileal tube. Every 30min for 4h, they ingested sunflower biscuits containing a total of 25g of (15)N intrinsically labeled sunflower protein isolate. They also ingested 60g chocolate containing a total of 400mg of a mix of (13)C algal individual AAs. Ileal contents were collected continuously for 8h following the first meal and plasma was sampled every 30min for 4h and hourly between 4 and 8h. (15)N and (13)C indispensable amino acid (IAA) ileal digestibility were determined by measuring (15)N and (13)C enrichment in AAs by GC-C-IRMS and AA content by UHPLC in ileal effluent. Plasma and meal (15)N and (13)C IAA enrichment were measured by GC-C-IRMS. Isotopic (15)N/(13)C ratio were determined using area under the curve value for each isotope. RESULTS: Using direct ileal sampling, average IAA ileal digestibility was: (i) 88.5 ± 5.0% for sunflower isolate ((15)N) with values ranged from 85.8 ± 5.1% for threonine to 91.1 ± 5.8% for methionine, and (ii) 97.6 ± 1.7% for free AAs (13C) with values ranged from 95.9 ± 2.3% for lysine to 98.8 ± 0.8% for phenylalanine. With the “dual tracer” method, digestibility of isoleucine, leucine, threonine and valine was significantly lower than with ileal determination (from 7.9% for threonine to 24.3% for leucine), Methionine and phenylalanine values were aberrant (over 100%) For lysine, the difference between the two methods was not statistically different (4.7%, p = 0.49). CONCLUSIONS: With our methodological conditions, the “dual tracer” method provides physiological values for most IAA except methionine and phenylalanine. However, values were low compared to ileal digestibility (about 10%) and interindividual variability was high. This less invasive method is promising but requires methodological improvements.
