Central Fatigue Hypothesis • Increase Tryptophan-increase serotonin =decrease in fatigue in horse by 15 %
Human study • High Leucine diet experiment • Rats induced with MI
Glycogen • Pyruvateis converted into lactate instead of acetyl-
3 Amino Acids • Leucine-increases muscle mass and helps muscle recover after exercise. It also regulates blood sugar and supplies the body with energy, as well as having an effect on protein synthesis. • Isoleucine, which can be found in the body to make Acetyl-CoA • Valine, which is used to maintain blood sugar levels
Leucine • Protein Synthesis • Transcription • Initiation • Elongation
Valine Study • Oklahoma State University • Extra dosage of Valine in their food did not benefit them
Conclusion • Helps Performance athletes with protein synthesis • Disease
