After careful analysis of the literature, Eriksson and Conn (1) concluded that branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) therapy does not appear to significantly affect the prognosis of patients with acute hepatic encephalopathy (HE). In a metanalysis of almost the same studies, Naylor et al. (2) reached the

## Abstract In order to determine whether branched‐chain ketoacids can reduce the excessive rate of muscle protein degradation that characterizes Duchenne muscular dystrophy, nine boys affected with the disease were studied in a metabolic ward while receiving meat‐free diets.

Branched-chain ketoacids were isolated from plasma or serum samples by acidification, passage through a cationic exchange resin, ether extraction, and extraction of the ether layer with phosphate buffer. The recovery of 2-[ l-14C]ketoisocaproate taken through these procedures averaged 95 + 3%. Branc
