Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) circulate in plasma as free amino acids (AAs) (s-BCAAs) and are being resorbed virtually to all tissues using tissues specific carriers
Leucine (Leu), isoleucine (Ile), and valine (Val) are branched chain amino acids (BCAAs)
Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) are known risk factors for insulin resistance, [hyperglycemia](brain://pSKxA…
