To study the effect of insulin on leucine kinetics, three groups of conscious dogs were studied after an overnight fast (16-18 h). One, saline-infused group (n = 5), served as control. The other two groups were infused with somatostatin and constant replacement amount of glucagon; one group (n = 6) received no insulin replacement, to produce acute insulin deficiency, and the other (n = 6) was constantly replaced with 600 μU/kg per min insulin, to produce twice basal hyperinsulinemia. Hepatic and extrahepatic splanchnic (gut) balance of leucine and α-ketoisocaproate (KIC) were calculated using the arteriovenous difference technique. l,4,5,[3H]Leucine was used to measure the rates (micromoles per kilogram per minute) of appearance (Ra) and disappearance (Rd), and clearance (Cl) of plasma leucine (milliliters per kilogram per minute).

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
