Leucine supplementation's effects on endurance performance
Featured Image
Why is it important?
Since many people use aminoacids supplementation to enhance physical performance it seems reasonable to know its effects com molecular and metabolic aspects.
Perspectives
Long-term leucine supplementation can enhance citrate synthase activity by itself in sedentary individuals and glycogen content when combined with exercise; however, it does not improve endurance performance or prevent Akt and mTOR exercise-induced inhibition.
