Description
Xiuqing Li and eight co-authors test how branched chain amino acids, a supplement, affect nursing mice and their pups under normal or low protein diets. These amino acids feed into sugar and fat use and energy balance. The study came out in twenty twenty-six.
Mothers were split by lot into four groups after birth, with varied protein and supplement mixes. The low protein diet cut mother weight, pup growth, and sugar test response, while liver fat and stress marks rose. The supplement raised pup growth on the normal diet but cut food intake and pup growth on the low diet. Its metabolic effects also split by diet.
