Leucine is a branched-chain essential amino acid. It accounts for
approximately one-fifth of the requirements for essential amino
acids. Leucine facilitates insulin-stimulated glucose uptake and
insulin signalling in skeletal muscle cells. This book includes
chapters on the physiological roles of leucine and the effects of
leucine supplementation; the syntheses, properties and applications
of the main leucine containing polymers and materials made of them
that up to now have been studied; and the effects of hydroxy- beta
methylbutyrate (HMB) and alpha-ketoisocaproate (KIC), which are
metabolites of leucine on muscle function and sports performance
based on recent findings.
