Rat study found that High fat and high branch chain amino acid intake long-term leads to insulin resistance.  This occurred through phosphorylation of insulin signaling downstream and differed between lean versus obese individuals.  

Branched chain amino acids for those with liver cirrhosis.  This is deficiency is due to the hyperglucoganemia that results from the catabolic metabolism.  It is interesting that peripheral metabolism also sets up.  

Branched-chain amino acids play role in cancer. Sugar is not the only player and glutamine is not the only amino acid involved.

Boots has welcomed job applications from LloydsPharmacy staff impacted by the news of closure of all its branches located in Sainsbury's before the end of 2023. The company is recruiting for more than 1,500 pharmacy roles nationwide. Vacancies span pharmacy roles at all levels - from Pharmacy Advisors (Dispensers) and Trainee Pharmacists to experienced Pharmacists looking to develop their careers. Sebastian James, Managing Director of Boots UK & ROI, said: "Pharmacies deliver vital healthcare in the heart of communities. News of the closure of LloydsPharmacy branches within Sainsbury's stores will no doubt have an impact on many talented pharmacists as well as their patients. "We have many roles available at Boots and welcome applications from LloydsPharmacy employees affected by the closures. Patients who are worried about their future pharmacy provision can check our store locator online to find out where their nearest Boots store is - our pharmacy team members are ready to help." There are over 2,200 Boots stores across the UK and 85% of the population live within 10 minutes of a Boots store.

High branch chain amino acids can promote insulin resistance.  This study points out that long-term high protein dietary intake can actually have significant deleterious effects and lead to disease.  A high fat diet appears to be required for this effect.

great review of cirrhosis and BCCA supplementation.

Leucine, a branch chain amino acid, important in promoting protein synthesis and thus muscle growth.  Very important post-exercise and in athletes

Chris Brown has apparently been prohibited from Life Time fitness center after a claimed push with the New York City branch

Hyderabad is an emerging hub of packers and movers in India. Numerous reputed removal companies have their head offices and branches in this city.

BCAA improve NH3 metabolism.  This is via muscle metabolism as reported in other studies.  This study highlighted the differences in BCAA supplementation.  One caveat is that high glutamine is the result from glutamate and this can increase hepatic encephalopathy.

BCAA aid NH3 metabolism in the muscle in those with liver cirrhosis.  This specifically can aid hepatic encephalopathy and mild hepatic encephalopathy.

Good review of the effects of BCAA on ammonia metabolism.  BCAA increase intramuscular NH3 production through the production of alpha-ketoglutarate.

Muscle becomes the primary mode of NH3 metabolism in liver cirrhosis.  The authors here propose that it is via an increase in muscle mass rather than specifically lowering NH3.  In fact, there is an early increase in NH3 production.

BCAA are low in patients with liver cirrhosis due to increased glutamate production from glutamine.  The addition of BCAA in these patients is not without side effects--increased NH3 production.  The addition of alpha ketoglutarate should alleviate this risk.

High amino acid intake associated with 5 fold higher risk of Diabetes.  The risk required 3 out of 5 amino acids isoleucine, leucine, valine, tyrosine, and phenylalanine.

BCAA for liver cirrhosis to improve ammonia clearance.  Increased glutamine is a means to compensate for the decreased ammonia clearance as well as a means to improve energy balance often present in these clients.  Night time dosing prevents fasting catabolic exacerbations.

BCAA supplementation in those individuals with liver cirrhosis improves hyperammonemia, nutritional status, hepatic encephalopathy, liver regeneration, and hepatic cachexia.

long term BCAA supplementation (defined as > 6 months) shown to be safe and effective in liver cirrhosis malnutrition, liver failure and hepatic encephalopathy.

BCAA effective in patients with liver cirrhosis, liver cancer, and liver transplant.  BCAA improve the liver regenerative capacity.

BCAA beneficial in malnutrition, anorexia, and QOL measures in patients with liver failure.
