Branched-Chain Amino Acids and Branched-Chain Keto Acids in Hyperammonemic States: Metabolism and as Supplements

Metabolites, 2020
In hyperammonemic states, such as liver cirrhosis, urea cycle disorders, and strenuous exercise, the catabolism of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs; leucine, isoleucine, and valine) is activated and BCAA concentrations decrease.

Immunomodulatory role of branched-chain amino acids [PDF]

Nutrition Reviews, 2018
Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) have been associated with immunomodulation since the mid-1970s and 1980s and have been used in the nutritional therapy of critically ill patients.

Setting the Stage for Branched-Chain Amino Acids Use in Neurological Pathologies: Does a Single Oral Dose Provide Hours of Elevated Systemic Levels?

Diseases
Background: Recent studies have demonstrated that branched-chain amino acids are neuroprotective and neurorestorative. Branched-chain amino acid supplements are now being recommended to be taken before contact sports to reduce concussions.

The Effects of Branched Chain Volatile Fatty Acids on Reduced Sugar and Branched Chain Amino Acid Concentration of Substrates that Fermented by Aspergillus oryzae

Animal Production: Indonesian Journal of Animal Production, 2002
A study was conducted to know the reduced sugar and branched chain amino acids concentration in substrate that fermented by Aspergillus oryzae. Branched chain amino acids represent amino acids that are very important for microorganism development ...

Branched‐chain amino acids [PDF]

Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2000
AbstractThe branched‐chain amino acids (BCAA), isoleucine, leucine and valine, are unique in that they are principally metabolized extrahepatically in the skeletal muscle. This observation led to the investigation of these nutrients in a number of clinical scenarios.

Xenogeneic, extracorporeal liver perfusion in primates improves the ratio of branched-chain amino acids to aromatic amino acids (Fischer's ratio) [PDF]

, 1999
In fulminant hepatic failure (FHF), the development of hepatic encephalopathy is associated with grossly abnormal concentrations of plasma amino acids (PAA).

Association between Excessive Dietary Branched-Chain Amino Acids Intake and Hypertension Risk in Chinese Population

, 2022
The dietary intake of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) has been reported to be associated with both elevated blood pressure (BP) and hypertension risk, while published findings were inconsistent, and the causality has never been well disclosed.

Ca2+-dependent inhibition of branched-chain α-ketoacid dehydrogenase kinase by thiamine pyrophosphate [PDF]

, 2018
Catabolism of the branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs: leucine, isoleucine, and valine) is regulated by the branched-chain α-ketoacid dehydrogenase (BCKDH) complex, which in turn is regulated by phosphorylation catalyzed by BCKDH kinase (BDK).

Branched-Chain Amino Acids and Immunity , [PDF]

The Journal of Nutrition, 2006
Although there has been great interest in the effects of amino acids on immune function, little is known about the impact of changes in BCAA availability on the ability of the immune system to function. Human immune cells incorporate BCAA into proteins and are able to oxidize BCAA.
