Protein metabolism in the lactating sow
… is associated with a high plasma tryptophan to branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) ratio. High plasma tryptophan to the branched chain amino acids is associated with increased tryptophan entry in the brain and serotonin secretion which in turn is involved in the depression of feed intake in other …

The effect of branched-chain amino acid ingestion on physical performance during prolonged exercise
… in the ratio of plasma tryptophan (TRP) to branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) concentrations may mediate an increase in cerebral serotonin synthesis, through an increased cerebral tryptophan uptake. It is postulated that the increased brain serotonin content may induce central fatigue during …

Factors influencing ammonia metabolism during prolonged exercise in man
… and duration, (2) carbohydrate ingestion and (3) branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) feeding. A total of 25 subjects participated in these three studies. The first study utilised active, untrained subjects who cycled at approximately 38 and 70% peak oxygen consumption (V02peak) for 40 min. These …

Mapping And Directing Branched-Chain Amino Acid Metabolism In Health And Insulin Resistance
… in human serum have identified changes in branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) levels as biomarkers of diabetes, heart failure, and some forms of cancer. However, the changes in BCAA metabolism in each of these cases, and even in the normal state, have remained elusive. Using novel …

Leucine and exercise improve skeletal muscle function in the mdx mouse
… therapies. We hypothesized that leucine, a branched chain amino acid (BCAA) with anabolic properties, given to sedentary and exercised x-linked dystrophic mice (mdx) over 4 weeks would improve skeletal muscle function and decrease markers of skeletal muscle degradation. In sedentary mdx …

The Effect of a Bcaa Supplement with and without Cho on Performance in Recreationally Trained Cyclists
… the current study was to examine the effect of a branched- chain amino acid (BCAA) supplement with and without carbohydrate (CHO) on performance in competitive cyclists. Subjects were recruited from the GSU cycling team (n=6). Each subject's maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max) was determined on an …

A PROTEIN IN SEARCH OF FUNCTION: NIPSNAP1 IN MITOCHONDRIAL BRANCHED-CHAIN AMINO ACID METABOLON, BRAIN AND APOPTOSIS
… that contains the first two enzymes in branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) catabolism, the mitochondrial branched-chain aminotransferase (BCATm) and the branched-chain α-keto-acid dehydrogenase complex (BCKDC). Dysregulation of BCAA metabolism results in neurologic dysfunction. Studies in …

Chronic Dietary Supplementation of Branched-Chain Amino Acids Does Not Attenuate Muscle Torque Loss in a Mouse Model of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
… were provided either a control or elevated branched chain amino acid (BCAA) diet nocturnally for 25 weeks to determine if the elevated BCAAs would attenuate muscle torque loss. Twenty-five weeks of chronic, elevated BCAA supplementation had no impact on muscle function measures. …

The Influence of Heat Stress on Milk Yield, Gastrointestinal Permeability, and Nutrient Partitioning in Lactating Dairy Cattle
… the last study had the objective of assessing branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) requirements during HS. BCAA are oxidized for ATP synthesis in extrahepatic tissues and provide precursors for the biosynthesis of non-essential amino acids. They are also taken up by the mammary gland at a rate …

Roles of Small Rnas and Paralogous Proteins In Bacillus Anthracis Virulence Gene Regulation
… targets were chromosome genes associated with branched-chain amino acid metabolism, proteolysis, and transmembrane transport. <em>In silico</em> analysis revealed complementarity between XrrA and the 5’ UTR of seven mRNA transcripts whose expression is affected by the sRNA, suggesting …

Protein quality and distribution determines anabolic signaling, cellular energetics, and body composition
… 43S pre-initiation complex. Consumption of the amino acid leucine (Leu) is a key factor determining the anabolic response of muscle protein synthesis (MPS) and mTORC1 signaling to a meal. Research from this dissertation demonstrates that the peak activation of MPS following a complete meal is …
