Leucine Supplementation Accelerates Connective Tissue Repair of Injured Tibialis Anterior Muscle

Leucine Supplementation Accelerates Connective Tissue Repair of Injured Tibialis Anterior Muscle

This study investigated the effect of leucine supplementation on the skeletal muscle regenerative process, focusing on the remodeling of connective tissue of the fast twitch muscle tibialis anterior (TA). Young male Wistar rats were supplemented with leucine (1.35 g/kg per day); then, TA muscles fro...
