Comment To examine whether beta-aminoisobutyric acid (BAIBA) could dose-dependently induce the expression of brown adipocyte-specific genes in white adipose tissue (WAT) in vivo, mice were treated with 100 mg/kg/day or 170 mg/kg/day of BAIBA in drinking water for 14 days. BAIBA treatment led to a 2.7-fold (100 mg/kg/day) and 12.2-fold (170 mg/kg/day) increased plasma concentration of the metabolite by 14 days. Expression analysis of inguinal WAT using qPCR revealed significant increases in brown adipocyte-specific genes UCP-1 and CIDEA, recapitulating the in vitro findings. Expression of PGC-1alpha and cytochrome c were also increased following BAIBA treatment.

Comment LC-MS analysis of metabolites extracted from the gastrocnemius and quadriceps of exercise trained mice demonstrated an increase in beta-aminoisobutyric acid (BAIBA) concentrations. Analysis of plasma from the exercise trained mice confirmed a highly significant increase in the plasma concentration of BAIBA as compared to sedentary controls.

Comment Six-week-old mice were either treated with beta-aminoisobutyric acid (BAIBA) or remained untreated. Weight was slightly decreased in the mice by the end of BAIBA treatment. BAIBA treatment significantly decreased body fat in the mice. Consistent with the effects on thermogenic and beta-oxidation gene expression and body weights, analysis with metabolic cages indicated that oxygen consumption (VO2) and whole-body energy expenditure were increased in the BAIBA-treated mice without any significant difference in activity or food intake. BAIBA was found to significantly improve the glucose tolerance.

Comment BAIBA significantly increased the expression of PPARalpha, carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 (CPT1), the very-long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (ACADvl), the medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (ACADm), and acyl-CoA oxidase 1 (ACOX1). As BAIBA increased the expression of beta-oxidation genes in vitro, the study investigated whether BAIBA would induce hepatic beta-oxidation gene expression in vivo. The expression of key genes involved in fatty acid beta-oxidation was measured in the liver of mice treated with 100 mg/kg/day BAIBA for 14 days using qPCR. As in vitro, BAIBA significantly increased the expression of PPARalpha, CPT1, ACADvl, ACADm, and ACOX1.
