Description:
This template contrasts healthy branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) catabolism, where plasma BCAAs are oxidized and distributed to the liver, adipose tissue, and skeletal muscle, with the imbalanced catabolism seen in type 2 diabetes. In the diabetic state, oxidation to the liver and adipose is blocked, plasma BCAA levels rise, and catabolism is shunted toward skeletal muscle instead.
