Leucine is one of nine essential amino acids in humans (provided by food), Leucine is important for protein synthesis and many metabolic functions. Leucine contributes to regulation of blood-sugar levels; growth and repair of muscle and bone tissue; growth hormone production; and wound healing. Leucine also prevents breakdown of muscle proteins after trauma or severe stress and may be beneficial for individuals with phenylketonuria. Leucine is available in many foods and deficiency is rare.

Animal Model:Six-week-old male c57/BL6 mice (fed a high-fat diet with fat to induce obesity)Dosage:24 g/kg diet; Resveratrol (low dose; 12.5 mg/kg diet) Administration:6 weeks Result:Treatment in combination with Resveratrol (low dose; 12.5 mg/kg diet) resulted in significant reductions in body weight, weight gain, visceral adipose tissue mass, fat oxidation and heat production, and an associated decrease in respiratory exchange ratio (RER), especially in the dark (feeding) cycle.
