“There were no significant differences in catecholamines (p ≥ 0.24), whereas insulin was significantly higher in O than in L during recovery (p=0.01).”

“… leucine balance … with insulin and nutrients (13.1 ± 6.3 μmol leucine/kg/h) than in the basal state (−21.4 ± 2.8, p < 0.01) with … from 138 ± 5.6 μmol leucine/kg/h to 108 ± 5.9 (p < 0.01) and no significant change in protein synthesis.”

“It is suggested that insulin , by lowering the arterial concentration of leucine and isoleucine, inhibited the myocardial uptake of these amino acids.”
“ L-leucine (0.25 mg/g given orally) induced a 2-fold increase in the serum insulin of the Wt mice, implying significant activation of the endogenous GDH1.”
“Studies both in vivo and in vitro have shown that leucine at a very high dose can stimulate muscle protein synthesis, an effect that is enhanced in vivo by insulin secreted in response to the leucine dose.”
“ Leucine promotes global protein synthesis by signaling an increase in translation, promotes insulin release , and inhibits autophagic protein degradation.”
