BCAA function

Branched chain amino acids as a nitrogen carrier, other auxiliary muscles required for the synthesis of amino acid synthesis, it simply, it is a simple amino acid synthesis process complex whole muscular tissue. Thus, branched-chain amino acids to stimulate insulin production, the main role is to allow the insulin to be absorbed blood glucose in muscle and as an energy source. Insulin also promotes the generation of muscle uptake of amino acids. Both the synthesis of branched chain amino acids, but also anti-catabolic effect, because they can significantly increase protein synthesis, promoting the release of related hormones such as growth hormone (GH), IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor-1) and insulin and help testosterone in maintaining a reasonable / cortisol ratio.
Branched-chain amino acid also has a very good resistance to decomposition, because they help prevent the loss of muscle protein breakdown and, for those which are in the stage before the diet is very important. In this calorie intake is relatively low, it is strongly recommended to use branched-chain amino acids, proteins together because this time because of the decline in the rate of protein breakdown increases, the same as when you eat protein is digested and absorbed, hydrolyzed protein is broken down into simple soluble substances such as peptides and amino acids, or risk losing muscle.
