Description

Aplicação

L-leucine has been used as a hypertrophic agent to monitor its effects on myotubes. It has also been used as a component of PMG media for culturing yeast.

Ações bioquímicas/fisiológicas

Leucine is a non-glucogenic, essential amino acid. It is a branched-chain amino acid that is a structural component of proteins. Leucine positively influences insulin release to eliminate toxic sugars out of the blood. The degradation of leucine leads to the formation of ketone bodies.
