Description

Application

β-Hydroxyisovaleric acid can be used as as a precursor for steroid alcohols.

It is widely used in the synthesis of the anthrax tetrasaccharide and its analogs as anthrax vaccine candidates. β-hydroxyisovaleric acid can also be used in the synthesis of β-lactones by intramolecular dehydration condensation using 2-methyl-6-nitrobenzoic anhydride (MNBA).

Effect of β-hydroxy β-methyl butyrate supplementation of sows in late gestation and lactation on sow production of colostrum and milk and piglet performance.

C Flummer et al.

Journal of animal science, 90 Suppl 4, 372-374 (2013-02-13)

This trial was conducted to investigate whether β-hydroxy β-methyl butyrate (HMB) supplementation during late gestation and throughout lactation would influence colostrum and milk production of sows and neonatal piglet survival (0 to 24 h). Control sows (CON; n = 8)

The effect of HMB supplementation on body composition, fitness, hormonal and inflammatory mediators in elite adolescent volleyball players: a prospective randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study.

Shawn Portal et al.

European journal of applied physiology, 111(9), 2261-2269 (2011-02-18)

The use of ergogenic nutritional supplements is becoming inseparable from competitive sports. β-Hydroxy-β-Methylbutyric acid (HMB) has recently been suggested to promote fat-free mass (FFM) and strength gains during resistance training in adults. In this prospective randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, we

Metabolic and functional effects of beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) supplementation in skeletal muscle.

Carlos Hermano da Justa Pinheiro et al.

European journal of applied physiology, 112(7), 2531-2537 (2011-11-15)

Beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) is a metabolite derived from leucine. The anti-catabolic effect of HMB is well documented but its effect upon skeletal muscle strength and fatigue is still uncertain. In the present study, male Wistar rats were supplemented with HMB (320
