BCAA consists of the amino acids leucine, isoleucine and valine. The reason these three amino acids are called BCAA is because they branch off from the other five essential amino acids, (there are a total of eight), to create their own chain. Amino acids are responsible for the formation of proteins in the body.
An aneurysm is an abnormal bulging out or ballooning of a portion of the artery, usually due to weakness of the arterial wall. The aneurysm may enlarge and rupture, often with disastrous consequences.
The aorta is the body's largest artery. It carries oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body. The inner lining of any artery can develop fatty plaques that harden. This process is called atherosclerosis. When the lining of an artery is affected by atherosclerosis, calcium can deposit in the areas of atherosclerosis.Seeing calcification in the aorta most likely means there is some atherosclerosis in your largest artery.Such calcifications are often seen in people as they get older.hen the lining of an artery is affected by atherosclerosis, calcium can deposit in the areas of atherosclerosis.
