However, the easy version explains it quite well: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/10/091008142957.htm

Amazing!

]]> http://hartvig.org/?feed=rss2&p=76 0 Are the nasty side effects of obesity fueled by BCAA’s? http://hartvig.org/?p=72 http://hartvig.org/?p=72#comments Thu, 28 May 2009 10:19:11 +0000 Ole http://hartvig.org/?p=72 Christopher Newgard and coworkers recently published that branched-chain amino acids are increased in obese individuals and seem to be a factor in the development of diabetes. See the paper: A Branched-Chain Amino Acid-Related Metabolic Signature that Differentiates Obese and Lean Humans and Contributes to Insulin Resistance.

The idea is not novel, but this is the first convincing metabolite profiling study in humans showing this result.

Anyway, the plan is to use this space to comment on recent findings in the world of diabetes and metabolism research.
