What is leucine?
Leucine is one of the branched chain amino acids (BCAAs), a very important group of amino acids for muscle health, it is directly involved in the process of providing energy to the muscle fiber during contraction and relaxation, synthesis and regeneration of muscle proteins, also involved in hormone production in addition to stimulating the use of fat as a source of energy.
What is leucine used for?
Leucine is the most important amino acid we have for protein synthesis. Leucine increases the rate of muscle protein synthesis faster than any amino acid, thus promoting more muscle mass.
Several studies strongly suggest that leucine activates the mTOR mechanism, which is a mechanism that literally switches on muscle output. The role of leucine is not limited to being the driver of protein synthesis. It also regulates the entire process. Therefore, with higher levels of leucine, more muscle mass we will be able to form.
Weight loss and maintenance of muscle mass:
A large number of studies have been carried out to prove this fact. One group was given 10g of leucine and 125g of protein daily. The study concluded that higher levels of leucine helped reduce fat by preventing catabolism.
Cholesterol regulation:
A study conducted in rats in May 2009 showed that leucine supplementation increases blood levels of HDL, the good cholesterol.
