BRANCHED-CHAIN ALPHA-KETO ACID EXCHANGE ACROSS THE PORTAL-DRAINED VISCERA AND HINDLIMB OF FED AND FASTED STEERS

Abstract
Fasting (6 day) steers increased (P < 0.05) arterial alpha-ketoisocaproate concentration and decreased (P < 0.05) the net release of alpha-ketoisovalerate from the portal-drained viscera. The net release of all three branched-chain alpha-keto acids from the hindlimb was decreased (P < 0.05) after fasting. Key words: Branched-chain, alpha-keto acids, steers
