Branched-chain amino acid oxidation by isolated rat tissue preparations

Abstract
Branched-chain amino acid transaminase activity, branced-chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase activity, and leucine oxidation were measured in homogenates and slices of several rat tissues. Transaminase activity was highest in heart, while dehydrogenase activity was highest in liver. Leucine oxidation in isolated tissues may be limited by either transaminase or dehydrogenase activity depending upon the relative activities of these two enzymes in the tissue. The results suggest that, as the load of branched-chain amino acids increases, the liver may become an increasingly important site for the degradation of branched-chain alpha-keto acids.
