Leucic acid
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Leucic acid (α-Hydroxyisocaproic acid) is an orally active end-product of the microbial metabolism of leucine. Leucic acid can bind to HCAR2, alters AMPK and ERK1/2 phosphorylation status, suppresses lipid synthesis, promotes catabolism, reduces adiposity, enhances lean mass and exercise capacity. Leucic acid suppresses pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion, inflammation-related gene mRNA expression. Leucic acid decreases basal protein synthesis, attenuates myotube atrophy. Leucic acid can be used for the research of obesity.

Leucic acid (50 μM) targets HCAR2, which is required for leucic acid-mediated suppression of lipid storage and stimulation of oxygen consumption in vitro beige-like adipocytes[1].
Leucic acid (0.31-10 mM; 21 days) reduces lipid accumulation and adipokine levels in human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells[2].
Leucic acid modulates protein expression linked to immune and inflammatory signaling, including significant enrichment of the adipokine signaling pathway, in tumor necrosis factor-α-stimulated human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells[2].
Leucic acid (0.31-10 mM) suppresses pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion and inflammatory gene expression in tumor necrosis factor-α-stimulated human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells[2].
Leucic acid (1.67-15 mM; 30 min) activates AMPK and p38MAPK signaling, inhibits ERK1/2 signaling, and does not alter mTORC1 targets p70S6K or 4E-BP1 in fully differentiated murine C2C12 myotubes under normal conditions, indicating negative regulation of protein synthesis through multiple pathways[3].
Leucic acid (15 mM; 2 days (myotubes), 1 day (myoblasts)) significantly decelerates the fractional protein synthesis rate in murine C2C12 myotubes and myoblasts under normal conditions[3].
Leucic acid (15 mM; 2-day pretreatment) attenuates TNFα/IFNγ-induced myotube atrophy, reduces nitric oxide secretion under cachexic conditions, and increases myotube fusion index in murine C2C12 myotubes[3].
Leucic acid (15 mM; 2-day pretreatment) does not modify acute STAT3 or NFκB p65 signaling induced by TNFα/IFNγ co-exposure in murine C2C12 myotubes[3].
Leucic acid (15 mM; 2-day pretreatment) decreases fractional protein synthesis rate under both normal and TNFα/IFNγ-induced cachexic conditions, and attenuates cachexia-associated protein degradation, iNOS overexpression, and IL-6 production in murine C2C12 myotubes[3].

Leucic acid (50 mM; p.o.; in drinking water; 12 weeks) attenuates HFD-induced weight gain in male Aida-/- mice, suppresses lipid synthesis in gWAT, and amplifies thermogenic lipid catabolism in iWAT via upregulation of UCP1 and related pathways[1].
Leucic acid (50 mM; p.o.; in drinking water; 13 weeks) relies on HCAR2 to drive iWAT fat mass reduction and browning in HFD-fed male C57BL/6J mice, as shown by attenuated effects in Hcar2-knockdown tissue[1].
