Title: Dual Effect of the Branched-Chain Aminoacids and their Relationships whit Insulin Resistance

Abstract

Insulin resistance is a complication present in subjects with obesity and has been identified as a key factor in the appearance and progression of diabetes mellitus type 2. Numerous studies highlight the benefits of a high-protein diet for both the treatment of obesity and insulin resistance. However, despite these benefits, a high protein diets been linked to worse metabolic dysfunction, and even worsened insulin resistance. Thanks to studies in metabolomics, it has been postulated that branched-chain amino acids may be mediating these contradictory effects of a high protein intake and its relationship with insulin resistance. The emerging evidence regarding the paradoxical effect that branched-chain amino acids can have on body homeostasis. Different contexts such as the presence of obesity, dietary patterns, origin of proteins in foods that contain branched-chain amino acids, physical exercise, intestinal microbiota, sex as well as genetic load, are variables to take into account to evaluate the role of these amino acids.
