Significance of serum branched-chain amino acid to tyrosine ratio measurement in athletes with high skeletal muscle mass

Significance of serum branched-chain amino acid to tyrosine ratio measurement in athletes with high skeletal muscle mass

Abstract Background Few nutritional markers reflect the hypermetabolic state of athletes with high levels of skeletal muscle. Although branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) play crucial roles in protein metabolism in skeletal muscle, the relationship between skeletal muscle mass and amino acid imbalance...
