1. After surgery three groups of six female pigs weighing on average 52.2 kg (SD 3.5) received vehicle, recombinant insulin-like factor-1 (364.4 micrograms day-1 kg-1) or recombinant human growth hormone (467.7 m-i.u. day-1 kg-1) for two post-operative days. Vehicle and peptides were infused intravenously together with total parenteral nutrition providing 129 kJ day-1 kg-1 non-protein calories and 0.35 g N day-1 kg-1. 2. On both post-operative days the mean concentration of insulin-like growth factor-1 in arterial blood samples was clearly below presurgical levels in animals receiving vehicle or recombinant human growth hormone, whereas recombinant human insulin-like growth factor-1 infusions more than restored insulin-like growth factor-1 concentrations. These last samples, however, contained significantly (P < 0.05) less insulin than those from other animals. 3. Infusion of recombinant human growth factor was often associated with higher circulating levels of amino acids compared with recombinant human insulin-like growth factor-1 infusions. Despite this, both hormones significantly (P < 0.05) increased the hind limb net balance of total amino acids on post-operative day 1. Net balances of -44.2, +69.5 and +100.9 mumol/min (pooled SE 35.3) were associated with infusion of vehicle, recombinant human insulin-like growth factor-1 and recombinant human growth hormone respectively. This response was also closely reflected in the group of non-essential amino acids. 4. The net efflux of alanine from the hind limbs was also significantly (P < 0.002) reduced, whereas glutamine was less affected.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
