2-keto-4-methylvalerate and Obesity

2-keto-4-methylvalerate has been researched along with Obesity in 12 studies

alpha-ketoisocaproic acid: RN given refers to parent cpd
4-methyl-2-oxopentanoate : A 2-oxo monocarboxylic acid anion that is the conjugate base of 4-methyl-2-oxopentanoic acid.
4-methyl-2-oxopentanoic acid : A 2-oxo monocarboxylic acid that is pentanoic acid (valeric acid) substituted with a keto group at C-2 and a methyl group at C-4. A metabolite that has been found to accumulate in maple syrup urine disease.

Obesity: A status with BODY WEIGHT that is grossly above the recommended standards, usually due to accumulation of excess FATS in the body. The standards may vary with age, sex, genetic or cultural background. In the BODY MASS INDEX, a BMI greater than 30.0 kg/m2 is considered obese, and a BMI greater than 40.0 kg/m2 is considered morbidly obese (MORBID OBESITY).

"Ageing and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are risk factors for skeletal muscle loss."1.46Anabolic resistance does not explain sarcopenia in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, compared with healthy controls, despite reduced mTOR pathway activity. ( Babraj, J; Cuthbertson, DJ; Leese, G; Siervo, M, 2017)
" Whereas the reduction in Ca2+i was related to the extracellular glucose concentration in a hyperbolic manner, the increasing component exhibited a sigmoidal dose-response relationship."1.27Nutrient secretagogues induce bimodal early changes in cytoplasmic calcium of insulin-releasing ob/ob mouse beta-cells. ( Gylfe, E, 1988)
"Obesity was associated with a significant increase in postabsorptive plasma concentrations of the branched-chain keto acids in men but not in women matched for body-mass index and age."1.27Sex-specific differences in plasma branched-chain keto acid levels in obesity.
