Findings Using a randomized crossover design volunteers consumed 4 week eucaloric diets providing either a low g kg-1 d-1 LP moderate g kg-1 d-1 MP or high g kg-1 d-1 HP level of dietary protein. Glucose turnover Ra glucose rate of appearance and Rd glucose rate of disappearance was assessed under fasted resting conditions using primed constant infusions of 6 6-2H2 glucose. Glucose Ra and Rd mg kg-1 min-1 were higher for MP and compared to HP and P and LP and P diets. Glucose levels mmol L were not different P between LP MP and HP diets. Conclusions Level of protein consumption influenced resting glucose turnover in endurance athletes in a state of energy balance with a higher rate of turnover noted for a protein intake of g kg-1 d-1. Findings suggest that consumption of protein in excess of the recommended dietary allowance but within the current acceptable macronutrient distribution range may contribute to the regulation of blood glucose when carbohydrate intake is reduced by serving as a gluconeogenic substrate in endurance-trained men.
