Does post-exercise branched chain amino acid supplementation affect recovery markers following three consecutive high intensity resistance training bouts compared to carbohydrate supplementation?
BCAA-CHO supplementation did not reduce decrements in lower body strength or improve select markers of muscle damage/soreness compared to CHO supplementation over three consecutive days of intense lower-body training.
These results suggest that the interaction between CD8 on veto CTL and the MHC class I alpha3 domain on the effector cell, leads to phosphorylation of MEK/ERK in the latter cell, associated with a significant reduction of XIAP levels which, in turn, enables potent triggering of Fas-FasL mediated apoptosis on cognate binding of the veto CTLs.
