Isolated Leucine and Branched-Chain Amino Acid Supplementation for Enhancing Muscular Strength and Hypertrophy: A Narrative Review

This narrative review examines the effects of isolated leucine and branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) supplementation on muscle strength and hypertrophy. The authors analyze various studies and conclude that while leucine and BCAAs play a role in muscle protein synthesis, supplementation alone does not significantly enhance muscular strength or hypertrophy beyond

Anabolic processes in human skeletal muscle: restoring the identities of growth hormone and testosterone

This review challenges the conventional view that exercise-induced increases in growth hormone (GH) and testosterone are critical for muscle hypertrophy, highlighting that while GH plays a role in collagen synthesis and lipolysis, it doesn’t significantly impact muscle protein synthesis. The article stresses that intrinsic muscle mechanisms are more important for
