Caloric restriction improves glycaemic control without reducing plasma branched-chain amino acids or keto-acids in obese men

The 2022 study titled “Caloric Restriction Improves Glycaemic Control Without Reducing Plasma Branched-Chain Amino Acids or Keto-Acids in Obese Men” (PMID: 36369511) evaluated the effects of a 6-week very-low-calorie diet (VLCD) in overweight, non-diabetic men. While the intervention led to significant weight loss and improved insulin sensitivity (HOMA-IR reduced from

The study found that TRT significantly improved insulin sensitivity, reduced HbA1c levels, decreased visceral adiposity, and enhanced lipid profiles, including reductions in total cholesterol and LDL
