We investigated the effects of the branched-chain amino acids-valine, leucine and isoleucine-or their keto analogs, the branched-chain keto acids-a-ketoisovaleric acid, a-ketoisocaproic acid and a-keto-d-methylvaleric acid-n protein synthesis and secretion by monolayers of rabbit hepatocytes incubat

To test the hypothesis that hyperinsulinism is responsible for reduced branched-chain amino acids in cirrhotics, plasma amino acids were sequentially determined in 8 controls and 8 matched cirrhotics during continuous i.v. insulin infusion. An artificial endocrine pancreas which infused glucose was
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
Branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) are known to improve hepatic encephalopathy as well as protein malnutrition in cirrhosis. However, such effects in acute hepatic failure (AHF) remain to be elucidated. The current study was conducted to investigate whether BCAA improves protein metabolism in AHF. AH
