BCAAs and disorders
Creatine
100

This amino acid is significantly able to increase glucose uptake

Ie. “What is isoleucine?”

100

Some research has link BCAAs to decreasing this side effect of resistance training

What is muscle soreness? 

However, recovery time seems to be the same in trained individuals

100

Sleep deprivation can lead to many chronic diseases and conditions such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes and depression. It is states that 30% of Americans get less than the recommended 7-9 hours of sleep.

Ie “What is reduce muscle synthesis?”

100

This is a typical dose of creatine

What is 5g/d?

200

These branched chained amino acids (BCAAs) are known as essential amino acids due to the body’s inability to synthesize thus, they must be consumed via food/supplements 

Jovain


What is leucine, isoleucine, and valine?


200

This amino acid has anabolic effects on protein metabolism by increasing the rate of protein synthesis and decreasing the rate of protein degradation in resting human muscle. 

What is leucine?

200

Elevated BCAAs levels are often found in patients with this disease

Dalton

What is Type 2 Diabetes?

200

It is often suggested that creatine usage may lead to damage in this organ

What is kidney?


DALton

300

Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine are essential amino acids known for their importance in protein stability. This feature allows shielding from nearby water molecules.

What is hydrophobic and/or nonpolar?

300

During high activity of BCAA aminotransferase, which converts BCAA and α-ketoglutarate (α-KG) to branched-chain keto acids (BCKAs) and glutamate, the process of BCAA catabolism occurs mostly in this part of the neuromuscular system.

What is muscles?

300

An well trained and nourished athlete may supplement with this to help grow muscle, but it would not cause greater growth

Dalton 

What is BCAAs?


300

Creatine supplementation in addition to this may help improve bone health in older adults

Jovain

What is resistance training?


400

BCAAs may be supplemented as a replacement for this macronutrient

What is protein?



400

This group of enzymes play a vital role in the metabolism of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs). In recent studies, they have been used as potential targets for various diseases such as diabetes and cancers.

Jovain

What is Branched-chain amino acid aminotransferases


400

Because of BCAAs have a shared brain transporter with other amino acids, there is some concern that supplementation may worsen these types of disorders


Dalton


What is  neurological/psychiatric?


400

A new area of research focuses on creatine and its role in enhancing cognitive function in individuals with this
