Impact of Short‐Chain Fatty Acids on Glucose, Fatty Acid and Leucine Metabolism in Primary Human Myotubes [PDF]

Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism
Introduction Short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are small molecule metabolites mainly produced during microbial fermentation of dietary fibre in the gut and have been shown to have a beneficial impact on human health.

Leucine Aminotransferase

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1966
Abstract A simple colorimetric assay for measuring leucine-α-ketoglutarate transamination is described. It is reproducible, sensitive, and specific for α-ketoisocaproate. α-Ketoglutarate interferes only in that high concentrations decrease the color yield.

Early lean mass sparing effect of high-protein diet with excess leucine during long-term bed rest in women

Frontiers in Nutrition, 2022
Muscle inactivity leads to muscle atrophy. Leucine is known to inhibit protein degradation and to promote protein synthesis in skeletal muscle. We tested the ability of a high-protein diet enriched with branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) to prevent ...

Acetyl-leucine slows disease progression in lysosomal storage disorders [PDF]

, 2020
Acetyl-DL-leucine is a derivative of the branched chain amino acid leucine. In observational clinical studies acetyl-DL-leucine improved symptoms of ataxia, in particular in patients with the lysosomal storage disorder, Niemann-Pick disease type C1. Here,

Animal source foods, rich in essential amino acids, are important for linear growth and development of young children in low‐ and middle‐income countries

Maternal and Child Nutrition, 2022
Growth faltering under 5 years of age is unacceptably high worldwide, and even more children, while not stunted, fail to reach their growth potential. The time between conception and 2 years of age is critical for development.

Plasma Amino Acid Response to Whey Protein Ingestion Following 28 Days of Probiotic (Bacillus subtilis DE111) Supplementation in Active Men and Women

Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology, 2020
We sought to determine if 28 days of probiotic supplementation influenced the plasma amino acid (AA) response to acute whey protein feeding. METHODS: Twenty-two recreationally active men (n = 11; 24.3 ± 3.2 yrs; 89.3 ± 7.2 kg) and women (n = 11; 23.0 ± 2.
