Leucine-rich diet alters the (1) H-NMRI serum metabolomic profile of tumour-bearing adult rats from offspring of mothers supplemented with this branched-chain amino acid
Abstract:Cancer-cachexia is a multifactorial chronic disease associated with high inflammation and loss of muscular and adipose tissues and affects 30% of cancer patients. A maternal diet with leucine could alter the inflammatory state and regulate protein synthesis positively, modulating the effects of cachexia. Metabolomic analyses are an important technique to value the effects of cachexia because of the identification of altered metabolites in serum samples and consequently evaluate the impacted metabolic pathways … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
