[Absence of effects of a dietary excess of leucine on the postprandial kinetics of plasma glucagon and cortisol in the preruminant lamb].

Abstract

Plasma concentrations of cortisol and glucagon have been measured in preruminant lambs after feeding a meal containing either 2.3 or 10.6 g leucine/100 g dry matter and were found similar. These two hormones are probably not involved in the effects induced by dietary leucine excess.
