The effects of minor surgery on dynamic aspects of whole-body nitrogen metabolism were explored in healthy children aged 4--15 yr. A continuous administration of 15N-glycine was used to estimate rates of whole-body protein synthesis and breakdown both before reconstructive surgery of the skin and 5 days afterward. Mean preoperative values for protein synthesis and protein breakdown were 3.9 and 3.4 g protein/kg body weight/day, respectively. Protein synthesis decreased by 15% (p less than 0.05) postoperatively, but body weight, intake of protein and calories, nitrogen balance, and protein breakdown did not differ significantly between the two periods. Protein synthetic rate correlated (p less than 0.05) with protein (r = +0.75) and calorie (r = +0.58) intake. These results indicate that minor surgery causes a small decrease in the rate of whole-body protein synthesis even though calorie and nitrogen balance are maintained.
