Early lean mass sparing effect of high-protein diet with excess leucine during long-term bed rest in women

Early lean mass sparing effect of high-protein diet with excess leucine during long-term bed rest in women

Muscle inactivity leads to muscle atrophy. Leucine is known to inhibit protein degradation and to promote protein synthesis in skeletal muscle. We tested the ability of a high-protein diet enriched with branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) to prevent muscle atrophy during long-term bed rest (BR). We d...
