RESUMO

A number of clinical situations may benefit from intravenous supplements of tyrosine (Tyr). In total parenteral nutrition (TPN), the supply of Tyr is limited by its poor solubility. In both rats and infants maintained on pediatric TPN, plasma Tyr levels are approximately 30% of normal, and in rat brains Tyr concentrations are similarly reduced. We reported previously that supplementing a TPN solution with the soluble peptide, gamma-glutamyl-Tyr [Glu(Tyr)], normalizes plasma Tyr and doubles brain Tyr in rats. To assess more fully the behavior of intravenous Glu(Tyr) in vivo, 20 mmol/L Glu(Tyr) was infused into the inferior vena cava of rats at rates increased every 2 hours over an 8-hour period (300 to 450 mumol Glu(Tyr)/kg body weight/h). The surgical procedure for catheterization is described. At the maximum rate of infusion, plasma Tyr and Glu(Tyr) concentrations reached mean plateau values of 326 and 252 mumol/L, respectively. Brain Tyr concentrations were 71 and 264 nmol/g wet weight in control rats infused with heparinized saline (SAL group) and rats infused with Glu(Tyr) (PEP group) respectively. No differences were found in concentrations of norepinephrine (NE), dopamine (DA), or homovanillic acid (HVA) in prefrontal cortex (PFC), striatum (STR), or remaining brain (RB) tissue in PEP and SAL rats. We did not detect undergraded Glu(Tyr) in the brain, and less than 0.5% of infused Glu(Tyr) appeared in the urine.
