Abstract
The effect of dietary protein on eIF4E phosphorylation was examined in rats starved for 18 h and then fed on either a 20% casein diet (20C) or a protein-free diet (0C). Refeeding with the 20C diet, but not the 0C diet, resulted in partial dephosphorylation of eIF4E in both the skeletal muscle and liver. The results suggest that the dephosphorylation of eIF4E in response to food intake was regulated by the increase in plasma amino acid concentration that occurred after feeding with the 20C diet.
