Abstract
Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) may play a critical role in the development of neurological disorders.
- BCAAs are associated with complex diseases such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and maple syrup urine disease.
- The metabolism of BCAAs is regulated by the gut microbiota, which may influence brain function.
- Understanding BCAA metabolism could provide insights into systemic metabolic mechanisms affecting neurological health.
- Recent evidence suggests that gut microbiota impacts BCAA metabolism, potentially linking it to neurological disorders.
- Future research may explore gut BCAA metabolism as a treatment avenue for brain and gastrointestinal dysfunction.
