Acute L-Leucine Supplementation and Sprint Exercise Elicit Distinct Appetite and Inflammatory Responses in Persons with Overweight: A Randomized, Counterbalanced, and Crossover Design Study
The acute inflammatory balance induced by EX-Leu seems to improve appetite control. Sprint exercise had a consistent acute anorexic effect, while isolated L-leucine decreased SPA, but their impact on SPS and food intake is not clear (FAPESP grants: 2020/09936-2 and 2021/03601-1).
