ADEGOKE, OLASUNKANMI; Dhanani, Zameer N.; Mann, Gagandeep (Wiley, 2019)

Much is known about the positive effects of branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) in regulating muscle protein metabolism. Comparatively much less is known about the effects of these amino acids and their metabolites in ...

Amino acid-induced impairment of insulin sensitivity in healthy and obese rats is reversible

Jeganathan, Senthure; Abdullahi, Abdikarim; Zargar, Sana; Maeda, Naomi; Riddell, Michael; ADEGOKE, OLASUNKANMI (Physiological Reports, 2014-07-04)
