BCAA is one of the most widely used substances in the sports world, concealing behind its acronym three exogenous amino acids that are indispensable for achieving the desired outcomes. One of them is leucine, whose benefits I shall strive to discuss in detail in the subsequent sections of this article.

Was ist Leucin?

Leucin ist eine organische chemische Verbindung und zugleich eine der wichtigsten exogenen Aminosäuren. Seine Hauptvorkommen sind Albumine und Bestandteile des Blutplasmas. Diese Substanz wird entweder synthetisch oder durch Proteinhydrolyse gewonnen. Sehr häufig wird sie mit ihrem Kurznamen - HICA - bezeichnet. Ihr bekanntes Isomer ist Isoleucin. Beide Substanzen bilden zusammen mit Walinien eine beliebte Ergänzung für Sportler, bekannt als. Bei der Suche nach Leucin in Produkten von natürlicher Herkunft sollte man sich vor allem auf Fleisch, Milchprodukte, Eier, Fisch und einige pflanzliche Lebensmittel konzentrieren.

Leucin – Wirkung und Eigenschaften

Leucin ist eine der wichtigsten Aminosäuren für den Körper von Sportlern. Was bedeutet das? Vor allem ist es antikatabolisch. Es ist wichtig zu erwähnen, dass Leucin nicht nur zu den exogenen Aminosäuren gehört, sondern auch zu den ketogenen Verbindungen zählt. Einer seiner Derivate ist Ketoleucin, das durch zahlreiche metabolische Reaktionen des Körpers entsteht. Es reduziert Cortisol, das zu den Stresshormonen gehört und für eine Reihe negativer Veränderungen in unserem Körper verantwortlich ist, beginnend mit dem Abbau von Proteinen und erhöhter Glukosesynthese, über die Aufnahme von Salz und die erhöhte Ausscheidung von Kalium bis hin zu erhöhter Produktion von Magensaft und Freisetzung von Kalzium aus den Knochen. Offensichtlich ist Leucin ein Wächter unseres Anabolismus. Es ist auch erwähnenswert, dass Leucin einer der wichtigsten Verbindungen ist, die für den Aufbau von Muskelmasse verantwortlich sind. Es wirkt sich auf die mTOR-Kinase aus (über die Sie in dem Artikel über Leucin lesen können), was zu einer erhöhten Synthese von Muskelproteinen und einer höheren Geschwindigkeit dieses Prozesses führt. Darüber hinaus beeinflusst es auch den Prozess der Synthese von Wachstumshormon. Durch das Durchsuchen der Literatur kann man oft Informationen über die Verwendung von Leucin zur Verringerung von Fettgewebe finden. Es gibt mehrere Gründe für seine Verwendung, beginnend mit dem Schutz vor Cortisol und seinen negativen Auswirkungen auf den Körper, über die Stimulierung der Glukogenproduktion, die für die Aufrechterhaltung eines normalen Blutzuckerspiegels verantwortlich ist, bis hin zur Erhöhung der Insulinsensitivität und zur Normalisierung des Cholesterinspiegels im Blut.

Stellung des Europäischen Parlaments und des Rates

Die empfohlene Leucin-Supplementierung beträgt etwa 1500 mg pro Tag, die in drei kleinere Dosen von 500 mg aufgeteilt werden sollte. Andere Quellen legen nahe, dass eine einzelne Dosis Leucin zwischen 5 und 10 g pro Tag betragen sollte. Es wird empfohlen, das Präparat während des Trainings und unmittelbar nach dem Aufwachen einzunehmen. Leucin gilt als eines der universellsten Nahrungsergänzungsmittel im Sport, unabhängig von der Art der körperlichen Aktivität und dem Ausbildungsstand. Es gibt viele Studien, die seine Wirksamkeit bei der Verhinderung von Proteinabbau, Fettverbrennung und der Hemmung von Glukoseabbau bestätigen. Wenn Sie nicht von seinen gesundheitlichen Vorteilen überzeugt sind, lohnt es sich, Zeit in die Literaturrecherche zu investieren.

Mangel und Überschuss

Leucin-Mangel ist in der Regel eine ungewöhnliche Erscheinung. Der Grund für einen außergewöhnlich niedrigen Anteil dieser Aminosäure kann eine sehr bescheidene Ernährung sein, die nur einige Nahrungsmittel umfasst. Die Anzeichen dieses Zustands sind jedoch: - Müdigkeit, - Muskelschwäche, - Schmerzen und Schwindel, - schlechte Laune, - erhöhte Schmerzempfindlichkeit. Ähnlich verhält es sich bei einem Überschuss an Leucin. Obwohl dies sehr selten ist, tritt es normalerweise bei zu jungen und ungeduldigen Sportliebhabern auf. Eines der Symptome ist die Störung des Stickstoffgleichgewichts im Körper, was zu Störungen der Leberfunktion führen kann. Ein weiterer typischer Effekt einer Überdosierung von Leucin ist die sogenannte Pelagra. Zu ihren Symptomen gehören Bauchschmerzen, Durchfall, Blähungen, kräftig rote Schwellungen, Erbrechen und übermäßige Müdigkeit oder Schlaflosigkeit.
