Dr. Jose Why Is L-Leucine Amino Acid The #1

Показать описание

Dr. Jose talks about the benefits of L-Leucine and why it's considered the #1 amino acid for muscle protein synthesis.

Leucine, isoleucine, and valine, the branched-chain amino acids (BCAA), make up about one-third of muscle protein. Of these, leucine has been the most thoroughly investigated because its oxidation rate is higher than that of isoleucine or valine. Leucine also stimulates protein synthesis in muscle and is closely associated with the release of gluconeogenic precursors, such as alanine, from muscle. Significant decreases in plasma or serum levels of leucine occur following aerobic (11 to 33%), anaerobic lactic (5 to 8%), and strength exercise (30%) sessions. In skeletal muscle, there is a decrease in leucine level and a reduction in glycogen stores during exhaustive aerobic exercise. Basal fasting serum leucine levels decrease by 20% during 5 weeks of speed and strength training in power-trained athletes on a daily protein intake of 1.26 g/kg bodyweight.

The leucine content of protein is assumed to vary between 5 and 10%. There are suggestions that the current recommended dietary intake of leucine be increased from 14 mg/kg body weight/day to a minimum of 45 mg/kg body weight/day for sedentary individuals, and more for those participating in intensive training in order to optimize rates of whole-body protein synthesis.
