We investigated the changes in the amount of brown adipose tissue (BAT) and the relationship between BAT and plasma branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) produced during strength training. Participants were randomly assigned to the workout (WO, n=9) or control (CT, n=9) groups. The plasma AA levels and the BAT density (BAT-d) in the supraclavicular region were assessed. The increase in BAT-d was comparable between the groups, but a significant inverse correlation was noted between the increase in BAT-d and BCAA in the WO group. Thus, BAT may modulate BCAA usage without changes in the amount of BAT by strength training.
