Global Diabetes Journal Club Talk by José Luis Flores-Guerrero, PhD student at the the University Medical Center Gröningen in the Netherlands, on circulating branched chain amino acids and risk of type 2 diabetes. He gives a detailed background of the topic, potential mechanisms that explain the relationship and discuss some of his own studies investigating branched chain amino acids and risk of type 2 diabetes based on the Dutch PREVEND cohort.

The talk is based on several of his papers: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30518023/  (type 2 diabetes)
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30917546/ (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease)
