This review article, The Effects of BCAAs on Insulin Resistance in Athletes (Journal of Nutritional Science and Vitaminology, 2019;65(5):383-389, DOI: 10.3177/jnsv.65.383), explores how branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) affect insulin resistance in different tissues and under varying conditions. It explains that BCAA catabolic intermediates, such as 3-hydroxy-isobutyrate from valine, promote lipid
