Overview
The branched chain amino acids valine, leucine and isoleucine are essential nutrients with more than nutritional effects. They are important mediators and structural components in proteosynthesis and they regulate hormonal functions. Leucine is a precursor in cholesterol synthesis and as such plays an important role in muscle tissue growth and in sarcopenia suppression. Older and recent data are reviewed and support wider utilization of branched chain amino acids in intensive care.
Keywords:
