3-Guanidinopropionic acid is a creatine analog that alters skeletal muscle energy expenditure. It reduces cellular ATP, creatine, and phosphocreatine levels and stimulates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), activating PPARγ coactivator 1α (PGC-1α).

Description | 3-Guanidinopropionic acid is a creatine analog that alters skeletal muscle energy expenditure. It reduces cellular ATP, creatine, and phosphocreatine levels and stimulates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), activating PPARγ coactivator 1α (PGC-1α). |
In vitro | 3-Guanidinopropionic acid evokes a shift from glycolytic to oxidative metabolism, increased cellular glucose uptake, and increased fatigue tolerance |
In vivo | 3-Guanidinopropionic Acid(β-GPA) downregulated the expression of the β-oxidation genes.?Administration of β-GPA in mice for 3 weeks improved the animals' physical strength and endurance health, ie, increased their physical strength and endurance and alleviated anxiety.?β-GPA might be considered an adaptogene affecting both the muscle and brain metabolism in mammals. |
