Branched-chain amino acid supplementation during a 100-km ultra-marathon--a randomized controlled trial.
Ultra-marathon running is supposed to increase the parameters of skeletal muscle damage and impair renal function. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of branched-chain amino acid supplementation on skeletal muscle damage and renal function during a 100-km ultra-marathon. Twenty-eight athletes were randomly divided into two groups, one group using branched-chain amino acid s...
متن کاملZinc Supplementation during Pregnancy: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Zinc deficiency during pregnancy has been related to adverse pregnancy outcomes. However, the results of zinc-supplementation trials have not been consistent in improvement of pregnancies outcomes. This study was undertaken to investigate whether zinc supplementation was associated with pregnancy complications in Iranian women during the last 2 trimesters. It also assessed the anthropometric me...
متن کاملNo effect of short-term amino acid supplementation on variables related to skeletal muscle damage in 100 km ultra-runners - a randomized controlled trial
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of short-term supplementation of amino acids before and during a 100 km ultra-marathon on variables of skeletal muscle damage and muscle soreness. We hypothesized that the supplementation of amino acids before and during an ultra-marathon would lead to a reduction in the variables of skeletal muscle damage, a decrease in muscle ...
متن کاملUpdate on branched-chain amino acid supplementation in liver diseases.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) have a peculiar role in whole-body nitrogen metabolism. BCAAs are a substrate for protein synthesis, and have been used to conserve or restore muscle mass in advanced liver disease. In addition, the competitive action of BCAAs on amino acid transport across the blood-brain barrier may improve hepatic encephalopathy. RECENT FINDINGS The effe...
متن کاملBranched Chain Amino Acid Aminotransferase
The kinetics of transamination reactions catalyzed by pig heart “branched chain amino acid” aminotransferase was investigated. The activation of aged preparations by 2mercaptoethanol, previously noted, was associated with increases in both the maximum velocity and enzyme-substrate affinities. This implies a protein conformational change. The sharp pH optimum observed with standard assay conditi...
