THURSDAY, Feb. 18 (HealthDay News DrTango) – A recent study suggests that isoleucine, an amino acid, could have a lot to do with weight loss.
Japanese researchers fed mice a diet rich in fat (45 percent calories from fat) for six weeks. After the first two weeks, the mice were divided into two groups. Isoleucine One group received drinking water, while the control group received a placebo. This continued for the remainder of the study.
Although caloric intake, dietary and fluid remained unchanged, the mice that received isoleucine gain less weight than the control group from day 17 until the end of the treatment period of 28 days. Mice isoleucine group also had lower concentrations of serum insulin, although there were no differences in levels of glucose, triglycerides or fatty acids.
Researchers also found that the isoleucine improved lowering effects of insulin on glucose, reduced fat deposits and increased metabolism of this.
The findings suggest that isoleucine might be useful for treating obesity, according to the researchers concluded, who called clinical trials to test the hypothesis. (B_jackPete)
