“…[79] Like leucine, mixtures of BCAA containing leucine have been consistently shown to increase mitochondrial biogenic signaling [33,55,57,[75][76][77]80] and/or function [55,80] in C57BL/6 mouse gastrocnemius, [57] C57BL/6 mouse heart, [57] male middle-aged mice-hybrid B6.129S2 soleus, [33] tibialis, [33] diaphragm, [33] and heart, [33] mice heart, [55] male rat liver, [80] and finishing pig adipose/muscle. [75][76][77] However, these effects may be dosage-, [57] diet-, [81] and/or exercise-dependent. [33,57] In mice, Abedpoor et al [57] showed BCAA supplementation increased expressional indicators of mitochondrial biogenesis in both skeletal and cardiac muscle of C57BL/6 mice.…”
