Potential effects of β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate and exercise on brain aging and age-related disorders: implications for immunometabolic regulation and muscle–brain–immune crosstalk
β-Hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate (HMB), a bioactive leucine metabolite, has emerged as a potentially valuable nutritional compound with effects extending beyond skeletal muscle metabolism toward systemic immunometabolic regulation. This review summarizes evidence from 24 experimental and clinical studies regarding the potent...
