Studies of mammary arteriovenous difference were conducted on multiparous lactating Holstein cows (n = 21) on d 35, 70, 105, and 126 of lactation to examine kinetic relationships between arterial concentration and mammary gland extraction of AA. Additionally, these cows were paired by previous lactational performance and assigned to bST-treated or control groups to examine the effect of bST treatment on AA concentration and extraction by lactating mammary glands. Treated cows were injected daily with 40 mg of recombinant bST from d 71 through 126 of lactation. Arterial concentrations of Asp, Ser, Asn, Gly, ß-aminoisobutyrate, and Met were increased. Concentrations of Val, Ile, Leu, Phe, Orn, and Lys were decreased in bST-treated cows compared with controls. Increased extractions of Asp and Met by mammary glands in treated versus control cows were correlated positively with treatment-induced changes in arterial concentrations of these AA. However, increased mammary extractions of Arg, cystathionine, Leu, and Lys by bST-treated compared with control cows were not correlated with bST-induced changes in arterial concentrations of these AA. Extractions of Asn, His, Thr, Arg, Tyr, Met, cystathionine, cystine, Ile, Phe, Orn, Glu, Gly, Tau, Cit, Leu, and Val were correlated linearly with arterial concentrations (r2 >.15) of each AA. Extractions of Asp, Glu, Ser, Asn, Gly, Gln, Tau, His, Cit, Thr, Pro, Tyr, Val, cystine, Ile, Leu, Trp, Orn, and Lys also were correlated with arteriovenous differences of Met.
