Scope and Contents

Contents

Fatty acid transport from blood vessels to skeletal muscle, across endothelial cells, is regulated by the branched chain amino acid metabolite 3-hydroxy-isobutyrate. This finding provides a mechanistic explanation for the link between high levels of branched chain amino acids and diabetes.
Epidemiological and experimental data implicate branched...
