The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of oral administration of branched-chain amino acid (BCAA)-enriched diets after portacaval shunt (PCS) in rats. Fifty-one Sprague-Dawley male rats (200 gm) underwent PCS and 55 a sham operation. Half of the animals received BCAA 142 mg per day thro
