2. Branched-chain amino acid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branched-chain_amino_acid

   A branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) is an amino acid having an aliphatic side-chain with a branch (a central carbon atom bound to three or more carbon atoms). Among the proteinogenic amino acids, there are three BCAAs: leucine, isoleucine, and valine. [1] Non-proteinogenic BCAAs include 2-aminoisobutyric acid and alloisoleucine. Leucine ...

3. BCKDK - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BCKDK

   BCKDK regulates the activity of branched-chain α-ketoacid dehydrogenase complex (BCKD) through phosphorylation and inactivation. This inactivation results in increased branched-chain amino acids (BCAA), which is seen to reduce oxidative stress; however, having too much BCAA has been proven to be toxic to humans. Therefore, BCKDK is a vital ...

5. Branched chain amino acid exporter family - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branched_chain_amino_acid...

   In Corynebacterium glutamicum, BrnFE exports branched chain amino acids isoleucine, leucine, and valine, as well as methionine and homoserine. [3] [5] [8] The greatest induction of BrnFE expression occurs under high methionine concentrations, suggesting that methionine may actually be the native substrate rather than a branched-chain amino acid ...

6. Low-protein diet - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-protein_diet

   Specifically restricting consumption of the three branched-chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine and valine is sufficient to promote leanness and improve regulation of blood glucose. [16] A recent randomized-controlled clinical trial showed that protein restriction (PR) improves multiple markers of metabolic health, such as reducing adiposity ...

7. Dietary supplement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dietary_supplement

   Other amino acids may be conditionally essential for certain ages or medical conditions. Amino acids, individually and in combinations, are sold as dietary supplements. The claim for supplementing with the branched-chain amino acids leucine, valine and isoleucine is for stimulating muscle protein synthesis.
