Leucine increases muscle mitochondrial respiration and attenuates glucose intolerance in diet-induced obesity in Swiss mice

Leucine is an essential amino acid that has been investigated by its participation in the regulation of whole-body metabolism and mitochondrial function. Here, we evaluated acute leucine effects on mitochondrial respiration of skeletal muscle from male Swiss mice in vitro. Additionally, we further i...
