Addition of leucine precursors to the diet of leucine-starved mice.

Trigg ME, Geier MR, LaPolla RJ, Kamerow HN, Merril CR.

Abstract

Leucine-starved mice placed on a diet supplemented with the immediate precursor of leucine, alpha-ketoisocaproic acid, regain lost weight. This weight gain is similar to that observed when the leucine-starved mice are provided with leucine in their diet. Mice on a leucine-free diet supplemented with alpha-ketoisovaleric acid, the first compound in the leucine biosynthetic pathway, continued to lose weight as quickly as mice on leucine-deficient diets.
