Abstract

Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are essential amino acids for humans and are major building blocks of proteins. Recent studies indicate that BCAAs act not only as components of proteins, but also as nutrasignals. In this review, we summarize the findings of recent studies investigating the physiological functions of BCAAs in the regulation of protein and glucose metabolism and brain function.

摘要

支链氨基酸（BCAAs）是人体必需氨基酸，也是蛋白质的主要组成部分。最近的研究表明，BCAAs不仅作为蛋白质的组成成分，还作为营养信号分子发挥作用。在本综述中，我们总结了最近关于BCAAs在调节蛋白质和葡萄糖代谢以及脑功能方面生理功能的研究结果。
