BDK inhibition acts as a catabolic switch to mimic fasting and improve metabolism in mice

Objective: Branched chain amino acid (BCAA) catabolic defects are implicated to be causal determinates of multiple diseases. This work aimed to better understand how enhancing BCAA catabolism affected metabolic homeostasis as well as the mechanisms underlying these improvements. Methods: The rate li...
