We determined whether the steady-state levels of intestinal mucins are more sensitive than
total proteins to dietary threonine intake. For 14 d, male Sprague-Dawley rats (158±1 g, n=
32) were fed isonitrogenous diets (12.5% protein) containing 30%(group 30), 60%(group
60), 100%(control group), or 150%(group 150) of the theoretical threonine requirement for
growth. All groups were pair-fed to the mean intake of group 30. The mucin and mucosal
protein fractional synthesis rates (FSR) did not differ from controls in group 60. By contrast …
