## Abstract The effects of insulin and insulin‐like growth factor‐I (IGF‐I) on amino acid transport and protein metabolism were compared in myotubes derived from chicken breast muscle satellite cells. Protein synthesis was assessed by continuous labelling with [^3^H]‐tyrosine. Protein degradation w

Abstract
During synchronous differentiation of embryonic chick muscle cells in culture, the Na‐dependent uptake of an amino acid analog, α‐amino isobutyric acid (AIB) undergoes an abrupt, transient increase. The increase in AIB uptake is concomitant with the rapid fusion of mononucleated myoblasts, and precedes the accumulation of muscle‐specific proteins. Subsequently, Nadependent AIB transport diminishes markedly during postfusional differentiation of myotubes. The rate of AIB uptake is increased by insulin both before and after myoblast fusion. This stimulation by insulin is restricted to the Nadependent component of total AIB uptake but is apparently not the result of insulin‐mediated increase in the trans‐membrane Na gradient.

The effects of insulin and glucose on parameters of metabolism were investigated in myoblast-like (MBL) cells, a human myoblast-like cell line derived from a Wilms'tumor. Insulin responses were studied after 4 h r pre-incubation in serum free media, with or without 5 m M glucose. Insulin was added d

We studied the long-terms effects of interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta; 3 to 6 h) on alpha-(methylamino) isobutyric acid (MeAIB), a nonmetabolizable amino acid transported by system A. We found that IL-1beta induced a large decrease in MeAIB uptake by human osteoarthritic synovial cells and a concomitant
