Experimental beta-alaninuria was induced in rats by injection of (aminooxy)acetate (AOA), a potent inhibitor of aminotransferases, in order to elucidate the pathogenesis of hyper-beta-alaninemia. A 27-fold increase of beta-alanine (BALA) excretion was induced by subcutaneous injection of 1 5 mg

Placenta, 19(7), 531-538 (1998-10-20)
Placental uptake and transport of three nonmetabolizable amino acids with different reactivities for transport systems were studied in sheep under normal physiologic conditions. Methylaminoisobutyric acid (MeAIB), which has specific affinity for the sodium-dependent A system transporters, demonstrated placental concentrative uptake

Obesity (Silver Spring, Md.), 16(9), 2053-2067 (2009-02-03)
Beta-Aminoisobutyric acid (BAIBA), a thymine catabolite, increases fatty acid oxidation (FAO) in liver and reduces the gain of body fat mass in Swiss (lean) mice fed a standard chow. We determined whether BAIBA could prevent obesity and related metabolic disorders

Biochemical and biophysical research communications, 430(1), 84-89 (2012-11-17)
Elevated plasma concentrations of the asymmetric (ADMA) and symmetric (SDMA) dimethylarginine have repeatedly been linked to adverse cardiovascular clinical outcomes. Both dimethylarginines can be degraded by alanine-glyoxylate aminotransferase 2 (Agxt2), which is also the key enzyme responsible for the degradation
Karima Begriche et al.
Fundamental & clinical pharmacology, 24(3), 269-282 (2009-09-09)
Beta-aminoisobutyric acid (BAIBA) is a catabolite of thymine and antiretroviral thymine analogues AZT and d4T. We recently discovered that this beta-amino acid is able to enhance fatty acid oxidation and reduce body weight in mice through an increased production of
