Hormonal
The infusion of amino acids resulted in an additional reduction in endogenous Ra and a blunting of NORd reduction at each dose of insulin.
Amino acids can enhance insulin's ability to suppress protein breakdown.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
The infusion of AA resulted in an additional reduction in endogenous Ra (P less than 0.01; approximately 100% suppression achieved at plasma INS greater than 1,000 microU/ml) and a blunting of NORd reduction (P less than 0.05) at each dose of INS.
