Abstract
The alterations and low levels of circulating branched chain amino acids (BCAAs), leucine, isoleucine, and valine, are associated with liver diseases. The study was designed to evaluate hepatoprotective effect of BCAAs on CCl4 -induced liver fibrosis and to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying these effects in rats. In all, 30 male rats were divided into three groups. Control group (n = 10) and CCl4 group (n = 10), where rats were...
