These studies demonstrate a reduction in the blood urea nitrogen concentration and a decrease in the rate of urea synthesis and transamination of leucine early in gestation. These adaptive responses persist in the third trimester of pregnancy.

This study documents the distribution, activity and expression of the first two enzymes in the catabolic pathway of leucine - the branched-chain amino acid amino transferase and the branched-chain α-ketoacid dehydrogenase complex in human tissue - and discusses the role of branched-chain amino acids in body nitrogen metabolism.
