Abstract: Obesity is a health problem worldwide and plays a role in the development of insulin resistance. In obese people, there occurs an increase in the level of branched-chain amino acids. Leucine, isoleucine and valine, which are among branched-chain amino acids, are essential amino acids. Branched-chain amino acids may create positive effects on body weight, muscle protein synthesis, and glucose homeostasis regulation.
