The actions of exogenous leucine on mTOR signalling and amino acid transporters in human myotubes

BACKGROUND: The branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) leucine has been identified to be a key regulator of skeletal muscle anabolism. Activation of anabolic signalling occurs via the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) through an undefined mechanism. System A and L solute carriers transport essential am...
