FIGURE 7.
There were no significant differences on plasma BCKA concentrations after BCAA supplementation. The figure shows the fasting plasma BCKAs (A) KIV, (B) KIC, and (C) KMV concentrations as percentage change normalized to the supplementation baseline. Data are mean ± SE (n = 12). BCAA, branched-chain amino acid; BCKA, branched-chain α-keto acid; KIC, α-ketoisocaproate; KIV, α-ketoisovalerate; KMV, α-keto-methylvalerate.
