BCATm deficiency ameliorates endotoxin-induced decrease in muscle protein synthesis and improves survival in septic mice," American Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology, vol.
There are two BCAT isoenzymes including mitochondrial BCAT (
BCATm) and cytosol BCAT (BCATc) (Suryawan et al., 1998).
Protein concentrations were determined by using
BCATM protein assay (Pierce, USA), with bovine serum albumin as standard.
