Isoleucine, a branched chain amino acid, plays an important role in the improvement of glucose metabolism as evidenced by the increase of insulin-independent glucose uptake in vitro. [] Key Result Oral administration of isoleucine decreased the plasma glucose level by 20% and significantly increased muscle glucose uptake by 71% without significant elevation of the plasma insulin level compared with controls at 60 min after administration.

Clofibrate-induced reduction of plasma branched-chain amino acid concentrations impairs glucose tolerance in rats.
TLDR
Results suggest that plasma BCAAs play an important role in maintaining normal glucose tolerance in rats and suggest that branched-chain amino acid administration stimulates glucose uptake into muscles and whole body glucose oxidation in rats.
An amino acid mixture is essential to optimize insulin-stimulated glucose uptake and GLUT4 translocation in perfused rodent hindlimb muscle.
TLDR
The findings suggest that the beneficial effects of an amino acid mixture on skeletal muscle glucose uptake, in the presence of a submaximal insulin concentration, are due to an increase in AS160 phosphorylation and plasma membrane-associated GLUT4, but independent of PI 3-kinase and AMPK activation.
Effects of Leucine and Isoleucine on Glucose Metabolism
TLDR
It is revealed that isoleucine stimulates both glucose uptake in the muscle and whole body glucose oxidation, in addition to depressing gluconeogenesis in the liver, thereby leading to a hypoglycemic effect in rats.
An amino acid mixture enhances insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in isolated rat epitrochlearis muscle.
TLDR
The data suggest that certain AA increase glucose uptake in the absence of insulin and augment insulin-stimulated glucose absorption in an additive manner and therefore may prove effective as an alternative therapeutic treatment for insulin resistance.
The Effect of Isoleucine Supplementation on Body Weight Gain and Blood Glucose Response in Lean and Obese Mice
TLDR
Chronic isoleucine supplementation may not be an effective treatment for obesity or glucose intolerance in lean and high-fat-diet induced-obese mice.
Liver autophagy contributes to the maintenance of blood glucose and amino acid levels
TLDR
In mice, liver autophagy makes a significant contribution to the maintenance of blood glucose by converting amino acids to glucose via gluconeogenesis, and this results are the first to show that liver-specific autophagic proteolysis plays a role in blood glucose regulation.
Isoleucine prevents the accumulation of tissue triglycerides and upregulates the expression of PPARalpha and uncoupling protein in diet-induced obese mice.
TLDR
Results demonstrate that the liver and muscle TG concentrations are both lowered by Ile treatment, and suggest that supplementation with Ile might be useful in the treatment of metabolic syndrome.

Leucine and mTORc1 act independently to regulate 2-deoxyglucose uptake in L6 myotubes
TLDR
Both leucine and mTORc1 influence glucose uptake in muscle cells independent of insulin administration, and this likely occurs via distinct but overlapping mechanisms.

TLDR
It is suggested that amino acid supplementation can improve glucose tolerance by increasing skeletal muscle glucose uptake and intracellular disposal through enhanced intrACEllular signaling.

Isoleucine, a blood glucose-lowering amino acid, increases glucose uptake in rat skeletal muscle in the absence of increases in AMP-activated protein kinase activity.
TLDR
This is the first report of isoleucine stimulating glucose uptake in rat skeletal muscle in vivo, and results indicate that there might be a relation between the reduction in blood glucose and the increase in skeletal muscle glucose uptake that occur with isoleUCine administration in rats.
Branched-chain amino acids improve glucose metabolism in rats with liver cirrhosis.
TLDR
It is found that leucine and isoleucine improved glucose metabolism in CCl(4) rats by promoting glucose uptake in skeletal muscle as a result of upregulation of GLUT4 and GLUT1 and also by mammalian target of rapamycin-dependent activation of GS in skeletal Muscle.
In vivo glucose metabolism in individual tissues of the rat. Interaction between epinephrine and insulin.
TLDR
It is concluded that epinephrine may override many of the actions of insulin in vivo, and most of these effects are mediated via the beta-adrenergic receptor.
Effects of infused amino acids on glucose production and utilization in healthy human subjects.
TLDR
It is concluded that gluconeogenesis is the major pathway of amino acid degradation, and a slight stimulation of glucose oxidation during amino acid infusion, concomitant with an increased plasma insulin concentration, indicates that amino acids do not inhibit glucose oxidation.
Heterogeneity of insulin action in individual muscles in vivo: euglycemic clamp studies in rats.
TLDR
There is marked heterogeneity in insulin sensitivity and responsiveness among muscles of different fiber composition, and insulin-induced increases in total peripheral glucose disposal occur predominantly in muscles containing a high proportion of oxidative fibers.
Increased uptake and phosphorylation of 2-deoxyglucose by skeletal muscles in endotoxin-treated rats.
TLDR
It appears that other tissues also contributed significantly to the endotoxin-induced alterations in carbohydrate metabolism, as glucose utilization by the entire skeletal muscle mass was responsible for approximately 25% of the increase in Rd.
