Low-protein diets promote health and longevity in diverse species. Restriction of the branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) leucine, isoleucine, and valine recapitulates many of these benefits in young ...

Isoleucine is one of the three branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs). It is considered an essential amino acid because the body ...

New research has found that reducing the intake of a single amino acid, isoleucine, by two-thirds, improved the lifespan, weight, and health of middle-aged mice without requiring a drop in calorie ...

A new study in mice shows that cutting down the amount of a single amino acid called isoleucine can, among other benefits, extend their lifespan, make them leaner and less frail as they age and reduce ...

In mice, limited intakes of one specific essential amino acid can slow the effects of aging and even extend their lifespan, research from the US shows. Scientists wonder if these findings could help ...
