Hi Bhnson1,

I have completed a peer review of your article. Please check that out when you are writing your final article.

 * Hi Jiewlord,
 * Thank you for taking the time to review my edits! I really appreciated your feedback.
 * In my final edit I took all of your feedback into consideration and here is what I did to incorporate it into my work.
 * Lead + Catabolism
 * In my original edit I did slightly tweak the wording of the lead. I agree that these sections did not need as much attention and did not change anything in my final edit.
 * Insulin Resistance
 * I agree that the mice experimentation as well as this whole section seems a bit out of place in the article. Isoleucine's role in the insulin resistance and glucose metabolism is a large field of study currently. So, despite wanting to cut this aspect I felt as though it was a good beginning to summarize the research being conducted even if it is on mice. I also felt as though my efforts were better suited for other sections as I have limited knowledge on insulin signalling.
 * Function and requirement
 * I added more detail on the function of isoleucine in the body.
 * Nutritional Sources
 * When I tried breaking up these two concepts into two different paragraphs I did not like how disconnected they felt. I kept them together to enforce the idea that isoleucine is taken up as a component of protein in food.
 * Isomers
 * I actually did not mean to omit this section, this was my fault in the first revision. I see on other amino acid pages that these tables are common. Though these isomers may seem out of place to you and I, some wikipedians may be expecting them. I left this section in.
 * Synthesis
 * I agree, the synthesis and discovery are now under separate headers.
 * External Links and sources + Images
 * While I agree that it would be nice to have a image of the pathways to synthesize isoleucine, it is difficult to add in. There are many complicated and interconnected pathways at work in the biosynthesis and degradation of isoleucine so I feel that a link is best for those who wish to learn more. As for artificial synthesis, the pathways are less relevant since there is no biological connection. Also there are numerous artificial synthetic routes so I am not sure which would be the most relevant or where in the article it would serve the reader best.
