Figure 2From: The Effect of Oral Leucine on Protein Metabolism in Adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes MellitusPlasma insulin concentrations in type 1 diabetic adolescent girls consuming a basal diet or a diet supplemented with L-leucine. Plasma concentrations of insulin (mU/L) during consumption of the basal diet (19% of calories from fat, 57% of calories from carbohydrate, and 22% from protein) or the basal diet with supplemental L-leucine (total leucine content of 4 times the basal diet).Back to article page
