Plasma branched-chain amino acid concentrations in the study associated with the infusion of insulin at 80 mU/m²/min.

Abstract

<p>Values are means ± SE and median (1^st quartile—3^rd quartile); Time 0, prior to the initiation of any infusions; Basal Period, infusion of saline (Control, N = 3) or branched-chain amino acids (BCAA, N = 4); Hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic Clamp, infusion of 80 mU/m²/min insulin together with variable rate of 20% dextrose to maintain the plasma glucose concentrations at those measured at the end of the Basal Period.</p><p>*Statistically different compared to Time 0 (<i>P</i> ≤0.05)</p><p>†Statistically different between Control and BCAA groups (<i>P</i> ≤0.05).</p><p>Plasma branched-chain amino acid concentrations in the study associated with the infusion of insulin at 80 mU/m²/min.</p
