This systematic review and meta-analysis reviewed the available clinical evidence for the use of BCAA supplementation in alleviating skeletal muscle damage, within the context of exercise induced muscle damage or muscle injury. Changes in indirect markers of muscle damage were considered as primary outcome measures. Secondary outcome measures were the extent of change in indirect […]
From 2013 this preclinical review examined benefits and drawbacks of various proline analogues. L-Proline analogues have been proven to be valuable reagents for studying cellular metabolism and the regulation of macromolecule synthesis in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. They are also promising candidates for tuning the biological, pharmaceutical, or physicochemical properties of naturally occurring or […]
