Table 5.

Postabsorptive insulin and glucose levels in d 9 and 21 piglets fed Control (CON), Restricted + BCAA (RBCAA), Restricted + leucine (RL), or Restricted (R) diets between d 0 and 21 of the study. Blood was sampled 6 h after feeding. Homeostatic model assessment (HOMA) values were calculated according to the formula: [fasting insulin (µU · mL ⁻¹) × fasting glucose (mg · dL⁻¹)]/405.
