Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs). Timepoint: At baseline (before initiation of the intervention) At the end of the intervention period (after 3 months of follow-up). Method of measurement: Plasma levels of branched-chain amino acids including leucine, isoleucine, and valine are measured from venous blood samples collected after twelve to fourteen hours of fasting. Plasma is separated by centrifugation and derivatized using S-carboxymethyl-L-cysteine as an internal standard. Quantitative analysis is performed using high performance liquid chromatography with an Agilent one thousand one hundred system. Primary amino acids are derivatized with o-phthalaldehyde and three-mercaptopropionic acid, while secondary amino acids are derivatized with nine-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate, and detection is carried out using diode array and fluorescence detectors. | — |
