• Study Reveals Protective Effects of β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate Supplementation on Liver Injury

  A team from China Agricultural University and the Institute of Subtropical Agriculture (ISA) found that β-Hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate (HMB) offered a beneficial effect on the inhibition of liver injury. The finding will contribute to developing new interventions to ameliorate liver injury and dysfunction in animals and humans with exposure to endotoxin.
