Branched-chain α-keto acid dehydrogenase (BCKDH) complex, the enzyme catalyst for the
second step of the BCAA catabolic pathway, plays a central role in the regulation of BCAA …

It has been shown that BCAAs, especially leucine, regulate skeletal muscle protein metabolism.
However, it remains unclear how BCAAs regulate muscle protein metabolism and lead …

This study was designed to evaluate the effects of enriching an essential amino acid (EAA)
mixture with leucine on muscle protein metabolism in elderly and young individuals. Four (2 …

Background Nutritional supplementation may be used to treat muscle loss with aging (sarcopenia).
However, if physical activity does not increase, the elderly tend to compensate for the …

Background:Previous evidence suggests that aging in healthy persons does not result in
decreased incorporation of muscle proteins after a bolus ingestion of 15 g essential amino …

Objectives To evaluate the effectiveness of exercise and amino acid supplementation in
enhancing muscle mass and strength in community‐dwelling elderly sarcopenic women. …

BCAA catabolism in skeletal muscle is regulated by the branched-chain α-keto acid
dehydrogenase (BCKDH) complex, located at the second step in the BCAA catabolic pathway. The …

BACKGROUND & AIMS: With advancing age there is a gradual decline in muscle mass,
strength and function. The aim of this study was to determine if regular intake of a nutritional …

The authors examined the effect of branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) supplementation on
squat-exercise-induced delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) using 12 young, healthy, …

We have examined the effect of a hemodialysis-induced 40% reduction in plasma amino
acid concentrations on rates of muscle protein synthesis and breakdown in normal swine. …
