Plasma insulin concentration of the pharmacokinetics parameters.

	LEU	MEAL	MEAL-LEU	MEAL-LEU180
Cmax (µU/mL)	6 ±1 a	31 ± 2 b	32 ± 1 b	27 ± 6 b
Tmax (min)	17 ± 4	24 ± 6	18 ± 3	21 ± 17

All data are expressed as means ± SE (n = 10). Means that do not share a letter are significantly different (p < 0.05). Cmax, maximum concentration; Tmax, time to reach the maximum concentration; LEU, intake of leucine only; MEAL, intake of mixed meal only; MEAL-LEU, intake of mixed meal with leucine intake immediately afterwards; MEAL-LEU180, intake of test mixed meal followed by leucine intake after 180 min.
