The Emerging role of Branch Chain Amino Acids in the Prediction of Diabetes: A Brief Review.

CONCLUSION: The research findings related to BCAA signaling pathways and metabolism broaden our understanding of this topic. However, it remains unclear how increased levels of BCAAs will assist in the prediction of future insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes. Future research needs to determine whether BCAAs are a causative factor for insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, or just a biomarker of impaired insulin action.
