Personal Story: Meeting in Lab
- Tracy Anthony met her husband in Don Layman's lab and credits that experience for her family.
- Their research focused on branch chain amino acids and jokingly considered naming children after leucine, isoleucine, and valine.
Leucine's Role in Muscle Growth
- Protein with or without growth hormone did not synergistically increase muscle growth in malnourished rats.
- The key amino acid leucine stimulates muscle protein synthesis, crucial post-exercise for recovery.
Proteostasis and Aging Disease
- Proteostasis regulates the life cycle of all proteins in our cells, essential for maintaining cellular health.
- Disrupted proteostasis contributes to advanced aging and diseases like neurological and cardiovascular conditions.
