BCAAs acutely drive glucose dysregulation and insulin resistance: role of AgRP neurons

H. Shah, R. B. Gannaban, et al.

Discover the shocking impact of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) on glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity in mice. This groundbreaking study reveals that a single BCAA infusion can impair insulin sensitivity and glucose homeostasis, with notable effects primarily in males. Conducted by a dedicated team of researchers including Harsh Shah and Ritchel B. Gannaban from Texas Tech University, this research uncovers a novel role for AgRP neurons in regulating glucose levels.
