The Journal of nutrition, 118(2), 159-164 (1988-02-01)
This study was designed to investigate a postulated relationship between vitamin B-12 and leucine metabolism in mature domestic chickens. Plasma amino acid analysis revealed the presence of beta-leucine at a concentration of 60 to 80 mumol/l. After 425 d on
Beta-amino acids: mammalian metabolism and utility as alpha-amino acid analogues.
