    High calorie and BCAA/Isoleucine restriction for weight loss

    Some relatively new research has shown that BCAA (leucine, isoleucine and valine) restriction is responsible for the weight loss seen in protein restricted (PR) diets. As opposed to calorie restricted (CR) diets, the metabolic rate doesn't decrease as happens in CR and in some cases it seems...

    Low aspartic acid and aspartame consumption? Blood test reveals strange info....testosterone?

    I tested the amino acids in my blood to see if my BCAA were high. It is a Quest test, run through a 3rd party site. There was some confusion, and when I showed up the blood tech indicated I should have had an overnight fast, even though the site claimed 4 hours was sufficient. Since I had...

    BCAA's Reduce Autism Symptoms

    New form of autism found BCAA's administered directly to the brain seemed to reduce autism symptoms significantly. Might this be due to BCAA's lowering brain serotonin via reduced brain trypotophan?

    Branched-chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) In Liver Diseases

    Abstract "Branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) have been shown to affect gene expression, protein metabolism, apoptosis and regeneration of hepatocytes, and insulin resistance. They have also been shown to inhibit the proliferation of liver cancer cells in vitro, and are essential for lymphocyte...

    BCAA's causing a headache?

    Does anyone know why this would happen? I only take about 2.5 grams at a time, 3x a day? I will say that my temps have come up a bit and my mood is a bit better. But I wonder if I'm overdoing the BCAA's?

    Do BCAA's cause depression?

    I started working out again and am using BCAA's throughout the day. However, since taking them, I've noticed that I've sunk into a pretty deep depression. I thought they reduce serotonin, and therefore, would help alleviate depression. I've noticed a similar response with Cyproheptadine. Any...

    BCAA protect against heart attack damage

    The proposed mechanism is inhibition of Ca+ channels. Other substances that do the same are magnesium, cyproheptadine, taurine, etc. Not surprisingly, all of them have shown benefit in reducing CVD incidence and damage. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10442223

    Depleting Serotonin With BCAA

    Hi all, I mentioned a similar idea in one of my other posts, but a new study just came out and I wanted to follow up on it. As many of you are aware the BCAA compete for transport into the brain (and other cells maybe??) with tryptophan, tyrosine, and phenylalanine. So, if you raise the ratio...
