Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We produced muscle-specific branched-chain α-ketoacid dehydrogenase kinase (BDK)-deficient mice, in which the catabolism of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) were promoted in a muscle-specific manner. The mice showed decreased adaptability to exercise training compared to control mice. It was suggested that decreased muscle glycogen content, low activities of mitochondrial enzymes, derivatization of BCAA catabolites, and suppression of glycolysis were involved in the mechanisms.
