Brief description of study

Elevations in plasma levels of branched chain amino acids (BCAAs, comprising leucine, valine, and isoleucine), a large component of protein, are strongly associated with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, but mechanisms for this relationship are unclear. This protocol will determine whether excess BCAAs worsen free fatty acid-induced insulin resistance. Following a small scale dose-confirmation study, insulin sensitivity in response to low-dose lipid infusion will be compared across simultaneous administrations of the 3 BCAAs, leucine alone, valine alone, or control to better understand the mechanistic contribution of each BCAA to the development of insulin resistance in humans.
