“The effects of GTP and 2-oxoglutarate in potentiating inhibition by NADH can account for their effects in enhancing the apparent activation by L-leucine.”
“ Leucine also stimulated mitochondrial biogenesis genes SIRT-1, PGC-1α and NRF-1 as well as mitochondrial component genes UCP3, COX, and NADH expression by 3–5 fold in C2C12 cells (p < 0.003).”
