Table 4.

Plasma essential amino acid concentration of the pharmacokinetics parameters.

	LEU	MEAL	MEAL-LEU	MEAL-LEU180
Cmax (µM)	1273 ± 40 ^a	1380 ± 39 ^a,b	1479 ± 35 ^b,c	1570 ± 39 ^c
Tmax (min)	27 ± 4 ^a	132 ± 12 ^b	108 ± 15 ^b	220 ± 9 ^c

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 maximum concentration; EAA, essential amino acid; 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.
