Katy Sorensen

@Umar thanks so much for responding. This is very helpful and I had seen this but I think this study makes it difficult to isolate the effect of leucine itself due to other differences in the interventions. If you know of any other literature in this area please do let me know. I wonder if it is quite a research gap at present?

Thanks so much!

Thanks so much for your help, Pouya! Much appreciated.
