Regulation of intestinal health by branched-chain amino acids

The article titled “Regulation of intestinal health by branched-chain amino acids” highlights the essential role of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) in maintaining and improving intestinal health. It details how BCAAs support enterocyte proliferation, enhance nutrient absorption, and strengthen immune defenses, particularly in piglets. The mechanisms include modulation of gene and

The role of skeletal muscle in the pathogenesis of altered concentrations of branched-chain amino acids (valine, leucine, and isoleucine) in liver cirrhosis, diabetes, and other diseases

The article “The Role of Skeletal Muscle in the Pathogenesis of Altered Concentrations of Branched-Chain Amino Acids (Valine, Leucine, and Isoleucine) in Liver Cirrhosis, Diabetes, and Other Diseases” discusses how skeletal muscle, being the primary site of BCAA metabolism, influences circulating levels of BCAAs in conditions like liver cirrhosis, diabetes,
