Leucine, an essential amino acid, has long been celebrated for its role in muscle anabolism—the process of building muscle tissue. As a key player in muscle protein synthesis, leucine acts as a nutrient 'trigger' that initiates the muscle-building pathways within cells. When combined with regular exercise, leucine intake can activate satellite cells in skeletal muscles, leading … [Read more...] about Leucine vs. Dileucine: A New Frontier in Muscle Growth
