Variations in nitrogen isotopic abundances under starvation depending on associated metabolic changes (Simulation #4). by Nathalie Poupin (195134)

“…<p>Predicted variations in nitrogen isotopic abundances (δ¹⁵N) of tissue proteins, urine and faeces were obtained when mimicking starvation conditions, by simulating a zero nitrogen intake for 7 d and altered muscle nitrogen fluxes causing a loss of muscle protein mass. We compared several scenarios under which an identical 45% decrease in muscle protein mass was obtained by increasing, to varying degrees, the muscle protein breakdown rate (k_dM, corresponding to the protein degradation efficiency) and/or the proportion of muscle amino acid oxidized rather than utilized for protein synthesis (%ox_M = f_oxM/(f_oxM+f_sM), see <a href="http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1003865#pcbi-1003865-g002" target="_blank">Figure 2</a>). …”
