Caloric restriction improves glycaemic control without reducing plasma branched-chain amino acids or keto-acids in obese men
Abstract Higher plasma leucine, isoleucine and valine (BCAA) concentrations are associated with diabetes, obesity and insulin resistance (IR). Here, we evaluated the effects of 6-weeks very-low calorie diet (VLCD) upon fasting BCAA in overweight (OW) non-diabetic men, to explore associations between...
