Washington [US], August 9 (ANI): In a randomized control study of 10 healthy young men, a team of researchers compared how consuming the single amino acid leucine or its two-molecule equivalent, dileucine, influenced muscle-building and breakdown.
They found that dileucine boosts the metabolic processes that drive muscle growth 42 per cent more than free leucine does.
The findings were published in the Journal of Applied
