Supplementation with essential amino acids in the early stage of carbohydrate reintroduction after a very-low energy ketogenic therapy (VLEKT) improves body cell mass, muscle stren... by Giuseppe Annunziata, Ludovica Verde, Vincenzo D’Orsi, Massimiliano Caprio, Stefania Gorini, Silvia Savastano, Annamaria Colao, Giovanna Muscogiuri, Luigi Barrea

“…At the end of the fruit reintroduction phase, the supplemented group showed greater magnitudes of reduction in weight, waist circumference, fat mass (FM) and hs-CRP (p < 0.001 for all) and of increase in muscle strength (p < 0.001), phase angle (p < 0.001), body cell mass (BCM) (p = 0.001), and muscle mass (%) (p < 0.001). Conclusion These results underline the usefulness of supplementation with EAAs during the first transitional phase post VLEKT to improve body composition (specifically reduction in FM and increase in BCM), muscle strength, and inflammatory status.…”
