Proline and arginine are each indispensable during parenteral feeding due to limited interconversion by an atrophied gut. Commercial amino acid parenteral products designed for neonates contain proline concentrations that differ by almost 4-fold. To assess the adequacy of the lowest concentration of proline provided in commercial total parenteral nutrition (TPN) products, we compared rates of tissue-specific protein synthesis and nitrogen balance in neonatal piglets provided TPN at 2 different proline concentrations. Yucatan miniature piglets (9–11 d old, n = 12) were randomized to complete isonitrogenous TPN diets with low proline (LP; L-proline as 3% of amino acids) or proline supplemented (PS; 9%). After 7 d of receiving TPN, rates of protein synthesis in liver, gastrocnemius muscle, jejunal mucosa, and skin were determined by the flooding dose technique and tissue free amino acids were measured. Nitrogen balance was assessed during the last 3 d. The LP TPN resulted in lower free proline concentrations in plasma, muscle, and skin (P < 0.05) and lower rates of protein synthesis in the jejunum (by 25%; P = 0.02), muscle (by 45%; P = 0.015), and skin (by 60%; P = 0.01); there was no difference in liver. Nitrogen retention was 20% lower in the LP group (P = 0.01). In conclusion, muscle and skin protein synthesis was profoundly sensitive to parenteral proline supply and the reduced protein synthesis in the intestine could affect intestinal integrity. Low-proline TPN solutions that are currently in wide use in neonatal care may result in impaired tissue growth.
