BACKGROUND: Propionic Acidemia (PROP) is an inherited metabolic disorder, with defect in the enzyme propionyl-CoA carboxylase (PCC) which catalyzes catabolism of two of the branched-chain amino acids (BCAA), valine, isoleucine. Nutritional management in PROP depends on dietary protein restriction and consumption of medical formula depleted of the offending amino acids. Recently, concerns have been raised about medical formula due to imbalanced content of BCAA (high leucine - another BCAA, and no valine/isoleucine), which negatively impacts plasma concentrations of BCAA, and growth in children with PROP.
OBJECTIVES AND METHODS: To determine an optimal BCAA ratio at which total body protein synthesis is optimized in healthy children using the indicator amino acid oxidation method (oxidation of L-13C-Phenylalanine to 13CO2). This was accomplished by reducing leucine intake gradually from the current high dose in medical formula, in order to compare protein synthesis, under different BCAA ratios.
RESULTS: A total of 8 healthy children were studied, completing 42 study days. Significant differences in F13CO2 with different BCAA ratios were found. BCAA ratio (leucine: isoleucine: valine) 1:0:0 was associated with the highest F13CO2 (low protein synthesis) compared to other ratios. By reducing leucine intake, and isoleucine and valine at minimum PROP recommendations, BCAA ratio between1:0.26:0.28 to 1:0.35:0.4 was associated with optimal protein synthesis.
CONCLUSION: BCAA ratio of 1:0:0, present in medical formula limited total body protein synthesis. A balanced BCAA ratio was found between 1:0.26:0.28 and 1:0.35:0.4 (leucine:isoleucine:valine). Future research is needed to test this optimal BCAA ratio for optimizing protein synthesis in patients with PROP.
SYNOPSIS: The article describes a proof-of-concept study done on healthy school-aged children testing different ratios of branched chain amino acid (BCAA, leucine:isoleucine:valine), in order to determine an optimal ratio at which total body protein synthesis is improved and has implications for dietary management of children with Propionic Acidemia (PROP).
