Recent studies have demonstrated that branched-chain amino acids are neuroprotective and neurorestorative. Branched-chain amino acid supplements are now being recommended to be taken before contact sports to reduce concussions. While peaks and troughs in branched-chain amino acids have previously been reported in hospital settings, the metabolism of a single recommended dose of over-the-counter branched-chain amino acids has yet to be elucidated.
We analyzed a patented branched-chain amino acid product to assess its metabolism in 10 healthy adults.
Over the defined time points, measured levels of branched-chain amino acids remained significantly elevated when compared to the physiological baseline. The elevations in measured plasma levels indicate that a single oral dose is a viable intake option for increasing levels of branched-chain amino acids.
This information can be leveraged to better plan branched-chain amino acid-based treatment doses in order to treat pathologies such as brain injury.
最近的研究表明，支链氨基酸具有神经保护和神经修复作用。现在建议在进行接触性运动前服用支链氨基酸补充剂以减少脑震荡。虽然此前在医院环境中已报道过支链氨基酸的峰值和谷值，但非处方支链氨基酸单次推荐剂量的代谢情况尚未阐明。
我们分析了一种获得专利的支链氨基酸产品，以评估其在10名健康成年人中的代谢情况。
在规定的时间点内，与生理基线相比，测得的支链氨基酸水平仍显著升高。血浆水平的升高表明，单次口服剂量是增加支链氨基酸水平的可行摄入方式。
这些信息可用于更好地规划基于支链氨基酸的治疗剂量，以治疗诸如脑损伤等病症。
