Several studies showed that l-leucine supplementation reduces adiposity when provided before the onset of obesity. We studied rats that were exposed to a high-fat diet (HFD) for 10 weeks before they started to receive l-leucine supplementation. Fat mass was increased in l-leucine-supplemented rats consuming the HFD. Accordingly, l-leucine produced a hypothalamic pattern of gene expression that favors fat accumulation. In conclusion, l-leucine supplementation worsened the adiposity of rats previously exposed to HFD possibly by central mechanisms.
几项研究表明,在肥胖发生前补充 l-亮氨酸可减少肥胖。我们研究了在开始补充 l-亮氨酸之前暴露于高脂肪饮食(HFD) 10 周的大鼠。补充 l-亮氨酸的大鼠在摄入 HFD 时脂肪量增加。因此,l-亮氨酸产生了有利于脂肪积累的下丘脑基因表达模式。总之,l-亮氨酸的补充可能通过中枢机制使先前暴露于 HFD 的大鼠的肥胖恶化。
