AMINO ACIDS

WHAT ROLES DO AMINO ACIDS PLAY IN MUSCLE REPAIRS? 

As informed in the past few post blogs, I have declared that protein supplements provide a great assistance in building and repairing muscles. But how is this possible? If you did not have the knowledge of this, it is said that proteins are formed by chains of smaller elements known as amino acids. Therefore, it can be stated that muscle repairing work proteins provide are the effectual results of amino acids forming together.

 With this in mind, it is not difficult to grasp upon the effects proteins provide us with, as it is known worldwide. However, the role amino acids play in muscle repairing is questionable. As a result, I have researched and found an article with a researched conclusion regarding the effects of amino acids.

METHODS

 Pretty much two things happened in this research. First of all, whether amino acids actually play a role in leading to proteins repairing muscles was examined. Secondly, the type of amino acid that was most successful in doing this was also found.

  Total of eight adult participants were tested in this research. They were tested by consuming drinks with different types of amino acids in order to find out which one was the most effective in providing muscles protein synthesis, which would lead to muscle repairs. These drinks were taken during exercises designed by the researchers.

RESULTS

 The research was successful in finding out two factors, as stated before. Throughout the examination it was noted that amino acids containing lots of leucine, a type of amino acid, led to the best muscle protein synthesis. This meant that out of all amino acids, leucine played the biggest role in causing proteins to work and repair ripped muscles.

 Next, it was found that consuming leucine concentrated amino acids was helpful in preventing protein breakdown, but helped in oxidation. This indicated that leucines help greatly in forming proteins so the human body can efficiently use them when needed so.

CONCLUSIONS

  

Chains of amino acids form together to create blocks of protein. Out of the amino acids, leucine is the type most efficient in keeping the blocks of protein together for the best results in muscle repairment.

There you have it, so the next time you purchase a protein supplement, look at the ingredient label to see if leucine is there or not!
