Branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) are building blocks for all life-forms. We review here
the fundamentals of BCAA metabolism in mammalian physiology. Decades of studies have …

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 …

Background Obesity develops due to an imbalance in energy homeostasis, wherein energy
intake exceeds energy expenditure. Accumulating evidence shows that manipulations of …

Abstract α-Lactalbumin is a whey protein that constitutes approximately 22% of the proteins
in human milk and approximately 3.5% of those in bovine milk. Within the mammary gland, α …

A growing body of nutritional science highlights the complex mechanisms and pleiotropic
pathways of cardiometabolic effects of different foods. Among these, some of the most …

The microbiota-harboring human gut is an exquisitely active ecosystem that has evolved in a
constant symbiosis with the human host. It produces numerous compounds depending on its …

Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) include leucine, isoleucine, and valine. Mammalians
cannot synthesize these amino acids de novo and must acquire them through their diet …

Cheese whey constitutes one of the most polluting by-products of the food industry, due to its
high organic load. Thus, in order to mitigate the environmental concerns, a large number of …

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 …

Recent studies have shown the positive association between increased circulating BCAAs
(valine, leucine, and isoleucine) and insulin resistance (IR) in obese or diabetic patients …
