Dietary Branched‐Chain Amino Acids Modify Postinfarct Cardiac Remodeling and Function in the Murine Heart by Daniel C. Nguyen, Collin K. Wells, Madison S. Taylor, Yania Martinez‐Ondaro, Richa Singhal, Kenneth R. Brittian, Robert E. Brainard, Joseph B. Moore, Bradford G. Hill

“…The low BCAA diet preserved stroke volume and cardiac output after MI, whereas the high BCAA diet promoted progressive decreases in cardiac function. Although BCAAs were required for myofibroblast differentiation in vitro, cardiac fibrosis, scar collagen topography, and cardiomyocyte cross‐sectional area were not different between the dietary groups; however, male mice fed the high BCAA diet had longer cardiomyocytes and higher capillary density compared with the low BCAA group. …”
