Interaction Information:

Comment Insulin has long been recognized as the regulator of branched-chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase complex, an enzyme complex involved in BCAA catabolism. Insulin resistance has been found to reduce the enzymatic activity of branched-chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase complex and hence suppress BCAA catabolism. This is considered as the plausible etiology of increased BCAA levels in obesity and/or diabetes. Indeed, evidence is accumulating that there is positive association between insulin resistance and circulating concentrations of BCAAs.
