Toopcham et al [7] reported that the tripeptide Met-CysSer, containing the
branched-chain amino acid Met at the Nterminus, exhibited higher ACE inhibitory activity than that of tetrapeptide Ala-Leu-Ser-Cys.
It contains readily assimilated proteins originating from milk, in addition to the
branched-chain amino acid, L-Leucine.
(3) Kim and Lee (2) discussed two studies that reported that ingestion of taurine alone or in combination with
branched-chain amino acid (BCCA) was able to reduce DOMS following intense exercise, though it wasn't clear why.
A molecular model of human
branched-chain amino acid metabolism.
[3] MSUD is a disorder of
branched-chain amino acid catabolism, caused by a deficiency in the branched-chain [alpha]-keto acid dehydrogenase complex, which is responsible for the decarboxylation of the
branched-chain amino acids (BCAA), leucine, isoleucine, and valine (Fig.
Pathway enrichment and topology analysis identified enrichment in purine, pyrimidine, inositol phosphate, and
branched-chain amino acid metabolism in addition to lysine degradation in both BMM and MDM.
Preexercise
branched-chain amino acid administration increases endurance performance in rats.
Effects of
branched-chain amino acid supplementation after radiofrequency ablation for hepatocellular carcinoma: A randomized trial.
Second, animal protein (high
branched-chain amino acid and methionine) consists of meat and dairy, but their fatty acid compositions are quite different.
Nguyen et al., "Acrodermatitis enteropathica-like syndrome secondary to
branched-chain amino acid deficiency during treatment of maple syrup urine disease," Annales de Dermatologie et de Venereologie, vol.
Formerly, studies have shown that a drop in plasma
branched-chain amino acid levels in cases with urea-cycle metabolism disorders can be obtained with sodium phenylacetate/benzoate or sodium phenylbutyrate (NaPB) treatments [4, 5].
