we conclude that ( a ) clofibrate treatment increased branched-chain amino acid oxidation by increasing the activity of branched-chain alpha-ketoacid dehydrogenase in the muscle , ( b ) increased oxidation results in selective decreases in the concentration of these amino acids in muscle , and ( c ) decreases in branched-chain amino acid concentration may be responsible for increased protein degradation in muscle .
