b-hydroxy-b-methylbutyrate ingestion, Part I: effects on strength and fat free mass
Article Abstract:
This article examines the benefits of b-hydroxy-b-methylbutyrate supplementation on fat free mass and muscle strength during an eight-week resistance training program. Findings indicate that although supplementation did not improve muscle strength, b-hydroxy-b-methylbutyrate increased peak muscle torque values and fat free muscle mass.

b-hydroxy-b-methylbutyrate ingestion, Part II: effects on hematology, hepatic and renal function
Article Abstract:
This article examines the effects of b-hydroxy-b-methylbutyrate supplementation on blood profiles and kidney and liver function during an eight-week resistance training program. Blood and urine analyses indicate that b-hydroxy-b-methylbutyrate supplementation did not negatively affect blood enzymes, blood lipids, leukocytes, or urinary excretion levels of protein, glucose, or ketones.
