Elevated Plasma Branched-Chain Amino Acid Levels Correlate With Type 2 Diabetes–Related Metabolic Disturbances
20 Oct 2020
Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have elevated plasma branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) levels. The underlying cause, however, is not known. Low mitochondrial oxidation of BCAA levels could contribute to higher plasma BCAA levels. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to investigate ex vivo muscle mitochondrial oxidative capacity and in vivo BCAA oxidation measured by whole-body leucine oxidation rates in...
