Dietary L-arginine supplementation increases muscle gain and reduces body fat mass in growing-finishing pigs.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that dietary l-arginine supplementation beneficially promotes muscle gain and reduces body fat accretion in growing-finishing pigs is supported and has a positive impact on development of novel therapeutics to treat human obesity and enhance swine lean-tissue growth.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inflammatory Links Between High Fat Diets and Diseases.

TL;DR: This paper will review the recent scientific literature about HFD-induced inflammation and subsequent development of diseases and cancer, with an emphasis on mechanisms involved.
Journal ArticleDOI

Leucine nutrition in animals and humans: mTOR signaling and beyond.

TL;DR: Leucine activates signaling factor of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) to promote protein synthesis in skeletal muscle and in adipose tissue, and is also a major regulator of the mTOR sensitive response of food intake to high protein diet.
Journal ArticleDOI

L-Arginine stimulates proliferation and prevents endotoxin-induced death of intestinal cells

TL;DR: A protective effect of Arg is demonstrated against LPS-induced enterocyte damage through mechanisms involving mTOR and TLR4 signaling pathways, as well as intracellular protein turnover.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of leucine and its metabolites in protein and energy metabolism

TL;DR: Both α-KIC and HMB have recently received considerable attention as nutritional supplements used to increase protein synthesis, inhibit protein degradation, and regulate energy homeostasis in a variety of in vitro and in vivo models.
