Effects of SCO‐792 on plasma BCAA change in an oral protein challenge test in DIO mice. A, Chemical structure of SCO‐792. B and C, Plasma BCAA levels during a protein challenge test in mice. SCO‐792 was administered to DIO mice 6 hours before a 2.5 g/kg protein meal challenge. SCO‐792 inhibited elevation in plasma BCAA in an oral protein challenge test. Values are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 6). ^a P ≤ .025 vs vehicle by one‐tailed Williams' test
