Branched-chain amino acids at supraphysiological but not physiological levels reduce myotube insulin sensitivity

Madison E. Rivera et al.

Summary: The study aimed to examine the effect of a BCAA mixture on muscle insulin signaling in vitro, showing that BCAA treatment could reduce basal insulin signaling in healthy cells and insulin-stimulated insulin signaling in insulin resistant cells. However, further investigation is needed to determine the extent of these observations in vivo models.

The role of L-type amino acid transporter 1 (Slc7a5) during in vitro myogenesis

Nicolas Collao et al.

Summary: This study investigates the role of L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1) in muscle regeneration and myogenesis. The results suggest that LAT1 is expressed by myoblasts and is involved in normal myogenesis in vitro. The findings provide insight into the regulation of muscle remodeling by dietary factors.

Role of branched-chain amino acid metabolism in the pathogenesis of obesity and type 2 diabetes-related metabolic disturbances BCAA metabolism in type 2 diabetes

Froukje Vanweert et al.

Summary: The catabolism of branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) is believed to play an important role in the pathogenesis of metabolic disturbances in obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, there is limited understanding of tissue-specific BCAA catabolism in humans. Studies suggest that enhancing BCAA catabolism may improve glucose homeostasis in metabolic disorders like obesity and T2D, making it a potential future treatment strategy for insulin resistance and T2D.

Amino Acid Transporters Are a Vital Focal Point in the Control of mTORC1 Signaling and Cancer

Yann Cormerais et al.

Summary: mTORC1 integrates signals to control biosynthetic processes in cancer cells, which are characterized by uncontrolled growth and proliferation. Amino acids are essential nutrients for cancer cell survival, as mTORC1 activity is particularly sensitive to intracellular amino acid levels. Targeting amino acid transporters could be a potential therapeutic strategy for cancer treatment.

LAT1 and SNAT2 Protein Expression and Membrane Localization of LAT1 Are Not Acutely Altered by Dietary Amino Acids or Resistance Exercise Nor Positively Associated with Leucine or Phenylalanine Incorporation in Human Skeletal Muscle

Michael Mazzulla et al.

Summary: The study found that the protein expression and membrane localization of LAT1/SNAT2 were not influenced by acute anabolic stimuli, and did not enhance the dietary amino acid incorporation for myofibrillar protein synthesis in healthy young males.

Stephen J. Fairweather et al.

Summary: Amino acid transporters play a crucial role in metabolism and nutrient signaling pathways. Metabolomic profiling of membrane transporters in Xenopus laevis oocytes can be utilized to assess their substrate specificity and involvement in intracellular signaling pathways. The study revealed various substrate profiles and differences in amino acid accumulation among different transporters, impacting cellular growth regulation.

The aetiology and molecular landscape of insulin resistance

David E. James et al.

Summary: Insulin resistance is an early manifestation of various human diseases, including type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Recent research has highlighted the important role of adipose tissue in the development of insulin resistance by releasing lipids and other factors that disrupt insulin action in other organs. Identifying the targets involved in this unified insulin resistance pathway is crucial for developing new treatments for insulin resistance-related diseases.

Gagandeep Mann et al.

Summary: BCAAs are crucial for skeletal muscle and whole-body anabolism and energy balance, but elevated levels and impaired metabolism may lead to chronic diseases like insulin resistance. Research is focusing on mechanisms regulating BCAA metabolism and its impact on muscle and whole-body metabolism.
