Abstract
Elevated circulating levels of
branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) have been described as a strong predictor of
type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) because of their involvement in insulin
resistance (IR). The main objective is to evaluate whether a diet rich in these
amino acids poses a risk for the development of DM2. This literature review was
based on scientific articles selected from different databases, including
PubMed. A total of 23 articles were studied in depth. A higher intake of BCAA
has shown a positive association in the development of DM2, mainly if it comes
from foods of animal origin. Likewise, its selective restriction produces a
certain improvement in the pathophysiology of DM2 without compromising the
intake of other essential nutrients. On the other hand, BCAA supplementation
protocols have not been observed to have negative repercussions on health. BCAA intake does seem to be associated with
an increased risk of DM2; however, this association cannot be studied in
isolation, but should be considered part of a complex interaction of dietary
components, in which the nutritional quality of the food plays an important
role.
