The indicator amino acid oxidation (IAAO) method is minimally invasive; therefore, it is applicable to study the amino acid (AA) requirements of individuals in various age groups. However, the accuracy of this method has been criticized because of the 8 h (1 d) protocol, which has been suggested to be too short an adaptation time for estimating AA requirements.
The IAAO method was used to determine whether 3 or 7 d of adaptation to each threonine intake alters the threonine requirement in adult men compared to 1 d of adaptation.
Eleven healthy adult men (19-35 y, body mass index (BMI) 23.4 in kg⋅m) were studied at 6 threonine intakes; each intake was studied over a 9 d period. Following 2 d of pre-adaptation to adequate protein intake (1.0 g·kg⋅d), subjects received experimental diets containing the randomly assigned test threonine intake (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, or 35 mg·kg·d) for 7 d. IAAO studies were performed on days 1, 3, and 7 of adaptation to the experimental diet. The rate of release of CO from the oxidation of L-[1-C]phenylalanine (FCO) was measured, and the threonine requirement was determined by applying mixed-effect change-point regression to the FCO data in R version 4.0.5. The 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated using parametric bootstrap, and the requirement estimates on days 1, 3, and 7 were compared using analysis of variance (ANOVA).
The mean threonine requirements (upper, lower 95% CI) for days 1, 3, and 7 were 10.5 (5.7, 15.9), 10.6 (7.5, 13.7), and 12.1 (9.2, 15.0 mg·kg·d), respectively; and these requirements were not statistically different (P = 0.213).
We demonstrated that the short, 8 h IAAO protocol results in a threonine requirement that is not statistically different from that obtained on days 3 or 7 of adaptation in healthy adult males. This trial was registered at www.

指示剂氨基酸氧化(IAAO)法具有微创性;因此,它适用于研究不同年龄组个体的氨基酸(AA)需求。然而,由于 8 小时(1 天)方案,该方法的准确性受到了批评,因为该方案对于估计 AA 需求来说,适应时间太短。
本研究使用 IAAO 法来确定 3 或 7 天适应每个苏氨酸摄入量是否会改变成年男性的苏氨酸需求,与 1 天适应相比。
11 名健康成年男性(19-35 岁,体重指数(BMI)为 23.4 kg·m)在 6 个苏氨酸摄入量下进行研究;每个摄入量都在 9 天的时间内进行研究。在 2 天适应充足蛋白质摄入(1.0 g·kg·d)后,受试者接受实验饮食,其中包含随机分配的测试苏氨酸摄入量(5、10、15、20、25 或 35 mg·kg·d),持续 7 天。在适应实验饮食的第 1、3 和 7 天进行 IAAO 研究。测量 L-[1-C]苯丙氨酸(FCO)氧化释放的 CO 速率,并通过在 R 版本 4.0.5 中应用混合效应变化点回归来确定苏氨酸需求。使用参数自举法计算 95%置信区间(CI),并使用方差分析(ANOVA)比较第 1、3 和 7 天的需求估计值。
第 1、3 和 7 天的平均苏氨酸需求(上、下 95%CI)分别为 10.5(5.7,15.9)、10.6(7.5,13.7)和 12.1(9.2,15.0)mg·kg·d;这些需求没有统计学差异(P=0.213)。
我们证明,短至 8 小时的 IAAO 方案导致的苏氨酸需求与健康成年男性适应 3 或 7 天获得的需求没有统计学差异。本试验在 www.clinicaltrials.gov 上注册,编号为 NCT04585087。
