Phenylalanine kinetics across the leg

	Control	Nutrition
NB – net balance across the leg	−16 ± 5	73 ± 31^*
F_in– delivery to the leg	210 ± 31	788 ± 117^*
F_out– release from the leg	226 ± 34	715 ± 131
F_M,A– transport into muscle free pool	161 ± 27	396 ± 89^*
F_V,M– transport from muscle free pool	176 ± 30	323 ± 78^*
F_M,O– release from proteolysis	63 ± 7	115 ± 44
F_O,M– utilization for protein synthesis	47 ± 4	188 ± 51^*
ICav – intracellular availability	224 ± 33	511 ± 122^*

Control data are an hourly average of basal phenylalanine kinetics in the absence of nutrients. Nutrition data are an hourly average of phenylalanine kinetics following nutrient intake of essential amino acids and carbohydrate. Values are expressed in nmol min⁻¹ (100 ml leg volume)⁻¹.
