Impact of combined resistance and aerobic exercise training on branched-chain amino acid turnover, glycine metabolism and insulin sensitivity in overweight humans

This randomized controlled trial published in Diabetologia (2015) examined the effects of combined resistance and aerobic exercise training on insulin sensitivity, branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) metabolism, and glycine levels in overweight adults. Over a 6-month period, sedentary participants with a BMI ≥25 (n=119) followed a supervised exercise protocol. The study
