Article Synopsis
- A study aimed to investigate the relationship between dietary branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) intake and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk among type 2 diabetes patients in China, as previous research had inconsistent findings.
- The research included 419 type 2 diabetes patients, comparing those with CVD to those without, utilizing a food frequency questionnaire to assess dietary BCAA intake.
- Results indicated that higher intake of total BCAA and individual amino acids like leucine significantly reduced the risk of CVD, with specific foods including whole grains and dairy contributing to this protective effect.
