Which amino acid is known for its anabolic effects via its influence on insulin release?
Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAA)
Which amino acid is unlikely to have any benefit and may even be toxic or lead to deficiencies in other amino acids?
Glutamine
Which amino acid, when injected with several others, can increase the release of growth hormone, but ingestion appears to have little effect?
Arginine
Which amino acid may have some benefit in reducing central fatigue by preventing an increase in free tryptophan to BCAA ratio in the blood?
Branched-Chain Amino Acids
Which amino acid is a byproduct of leucine metabolism and is reported to have little benefit in increasing lean mass and strength, with data far from conclusive and primarily from one lab?
HMB (Beta-hyroxy-beta-methylbutyrate)
Which amino acid is known for its beneficial effects, particularly in the context of exercise, as it is involved in immune function and removing nitrogen from muscle to liver?
Glutamine
Test your knowledge of the erogenic effects of protein and amino acids in this quiz. Explore the potential benefits and risks of individual amino acids, including arginine, lysine, and ornithine, as well as the potential impact of branched-chain amino acids.
