Leucine-enriched amino acid supplementation and exercise to prevent sarcopenia in patients on hemodialysis: a single-arm pilot study

Frontiers in Nutrition, 2023
BackgroundSarcopenia, which is strongly associated with mortality and quality of life, occurs in up to 40% of hemodialysis patients. Here, we investigated the preventive effects of leucine-enriched amino acid supplementation and resistance exercise in ...

The Effect of Oral Leucine on Protein Metabolism in Adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus [PDF]

, 2010
Lack of insulin results in a catabolic state in subjects with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus which is reversed by insulin treatment. Amino acid supply, especially branched chain amino acids such as leucine, enhances protein synthesis in both animal

Resistance training alone or combined with leucine supplementation improves the serum lipid profile of diabetic rats, whereas leucine alone does not

Endocrine Regulations, 2018
Objectives. Diabetes mellitus is associated with dyslipidemia, which contributes to a higher risk of thrombosis, atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. This study evaluated the effects of leucine and resistance training on the serum lipid profile in

Obese women on a low energy rice and bean diet: effects of leucine, arginine or glycine supplementation on protein turnover

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2001
This study examined if leucine, arginine or glycine supplementation in adult obese patients (body mass index of 33 ± 4 kg/m²) consuming a Brazilian low energy and protein diet (4.2 MJ/day and 0.6 g protein/kg) affects protein and amino acid metabolism ...

Fasting and non‐fasting plasma levels of monomethyl branched chain fatty acids: Implications for maple syrup urine disease

JIMD Reports, 2023
The branched‐chain amino acids (BCAA) leucine, valine, and isoleucine provide precursors for monomethyl branched‐chain fatty acids (BCFA). Established reference ranges for BCFAs are lacking.

Crosstalk between arginine, glutamine, and the branched chain amino acid metabolism in the tumor microenvironment

Frontiers in Oncology, 2023
Arginine, glutamine, and the branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) are a focus of increased interest in the field of oncology due to their importance in the metabolic reprogramming of cancer cells.

Investigations of a compartmental model for leucine kinetics using nonlinear mixed effects models with ordinary and stochastic differential equations

, 2011
Nonlinear mixed effects models represent a powerful tool to simultaneously analyze data from several individuals. In this study a compartmental model of leucine kinetics is examined and extended with a stochastic differential equation to model non-steady

Administration of valine, leucine, and isoleucine improved plasma cholesterol and mitigated the preatherosclerotic lesions in rats fed with hypercholesterolemic diet

Romanian Journal of Laboratory Medicine, 2018
Hypercholesterolemia has a major contribution to the occurrence and progression of atherosclerotic lesions. Recent studies report the involvement of branched-chain amino acids in cholesterol methabolism.
