## Abstract Branched‐chain amino acids (BCAAs) have a potential to improve glucose metabolism in cirrhotic patients; however, the contribution of liver in this process has not been clarified. To estimate the effect of BCAA on glucose metabolism in liver, we evaluated the mRNA expression levels of g

The synthesis of brain glutamate requires an amino group donor that is efficiently transported into the brain and that is readily transaminated. The branchedchain amino acids (BCAA), particularly leucine, play this important role. The uptake of leucine across the blood-brain barrier is faster than a
