For more than a decade, there has been a wide debate about the branched-chain amino
acids (BCAA) leucine, valine, and isoleucine, with, on the one hand, the supporters of their …

Insulin resistance (IR) is a key pathological feature of metabolic syndrome and subsequently
causes serious health problems with an increased risk of several common metabolic …

Peripheral resistance to insulin action is the major mechanism causing the metabolic
syndrome and eventually type 2 diabetes mellitus. The metabolic derangement associated …

Abstract Purpose of Review Elevations in circulating branched chain amino acids (BCAAs)
have gained attention as potential contributors to the development of insulin resistance and …

Branched chain amino acids (BCAA) and their derivatives are bioactive molecules with
pleiotropic functions in the human body. Elevated fasting blood BCAA concentrations are …

Dysregulation of insulin action is most often considered in the context of impaired glucose
homeostasis, with the defining feature of diabetes mellitus being elevated blood glucose …

Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs; valine, leucine, and isoleucine) are essential amino
acids with protein anabolic properties, which have been studied in a number of muscle …

Dietary proteins have an insulinotropic effect and thus promote insulin secretion, which
indeed leads to enhanced glucose clearance from the blood. In the long term, however, a …

Branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) have increasingly been studied as playing a role in
diabetes, with the PubMed search string" diabetes" AND" branched chain amino acids" …

The available findings concerning the association between branched-chain amino acids
(BCAAs)—particularly leucine—and insulin resistance are conflicting. BCAAs have been …
