Twelve young men, six subjects in each group studied in two phases, participated in an experiment to explore the relationships between valine intake, plasma valine concentrations, and valine kinetics, using 1-[13C]valine as a tracer. Below a valine intake of about 20 mg.kg-1.day-1 plasma valine concentrations reached a low and relatively constant level. The rate of valine oxidation fell with the decline in the intake of amino acid. Below valine intakes of 16 mg.kg-1.day-1, the mean daily rate of oxidation was estimated to be generally higher than the intake level, implying a negative valine balance during the 24 h day. These findings indicate that an intake of 10 mg valine kg-1.day-1 would not be adequate to maintain protein nutritional status. Our results are discussed in relation to the currently accepted 1973 FAO/WHO value of 10 mg.kg-1.day-1 as being the upper range of the valine requirement in healthy adult humans.
