“all of this is the branch chain amino acid leucine for years since the 1930s we've known that the branch chain amino acids are not metabolized in liver all of the other amino acids are metabolized in liver but these three branch chain leucine, valine and isoleucine get sent out primarily to skeletal muscle so the body has learned to sense it it is senses it as a indicator of protein coming in and basically when that leucine concentration goes up from basically fasting levels to about three times fasting levels uh it triggers a complex inside muscle known as mtor and that's the main sort of Central regulatory function that triggers all these sort of initiation factors and we trigger maximum protein synthesis.”
