Area under the curve with respect to increases for essential amino acids and leucine for LEU and MEAL.

	LEU	MEAL
Essential amino acids (µM·min)	−3859 ± 2481	58,848 ± 3050 *
Leucine (µM·min)	25,561 ± 1112	8154 ± 840 *

All data are expressed as means ± SE (n = 10). * Indicate values significantly different from LEU (p < 0.05). Total length of time for AUCi calculation for LEU was 240 min (−20 to 240 min), whereas it was 260 for MEAL (−20 min to 240 min). 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.
