Oral Branched-Chain Amino-Acid-Enriched Nutrient Mixture Good As Carbohydrate-Rich Meals In Reducing Fat Oxidation In Cirrhotic Patients

An oral branched-chain amino-acid-enriched nutrient mixture (BCAA mixture) is equal to carbohydrate-rich meals in reducing fat oxidation in cirrhotic patients, say Japanese

researchers.

 They found supplementation with a BCAA mixture showed similar results as a carbohydrate-rich late evening snack in such patients who, often without taking breakfast, have medical procedures such as diagnostic gastrointestinal endoscopy. In this study, investigators at the Department of Nutrition and the Second Department of Medicine, The University of Tokushima, School of Medicine, Tokushima, Japan, looked at the effect of fasting over 12 hours on energy metabolism.

 They also tested whether the catabolic state could be improved by supplementation of BCAA containing various additional nutrients. They used indirect calorimetry to take metabolic measurement in 30 cirrhotic patients and 13 control subjects.
