Figure 5From: Leucine supplementation improves adiponectin and total cholesterol concentrations despite the lack of changes in adiposity or glucose homeostasis in rats previously exposed to a high-fat dietEffect of chronic exercise and/or leucine supplementation on circulating levels of amino acids. #, effect of training (P < 0.05); *, interaction for amino acids glycine and threonine (P < 0.05). Experimental groups: control diet (REF), diet supplemented with 5% L-leucine (LS), 6 weeks of endurance training (ET) plus standard diet, and diet supplemented with 5% L-leucine plus endurance training (LS+ET). Values are mean Ā± sem (n = 5-4 rats per group).Back to article page
