Leucine Supplementation Increases Muscle Strength and Volume, Reduces Inflammation, and Affects Wellbeing in Adults and Adolescents with Cerebral Palsy
Abstract
Spastic cerebral palsy (CP) is characterized by muscle weakness owing, in part, to a blunted muscle protein synthetic response. This might be normalized by long-term leucine supplementation.The study assessed the effects of 10 wk leucine supplementation in adolescents and adults with CP.The study was a single-center randomized controlled trial.
