picolinic acid and Body Weight

picolinic acid has been researched along with Body Weight in 36 studies

picolinic acid: iron-chelating agent that inhibits DNA synthesis; may interfere with iron-dependent production of stable free organic radical which is essential for ribonucleotide reductase formation of deoxyribonucleotides; RN given refers to parent cpd; structure in Merck Index, 9th ed, #7206
picolinic acid : A pyridinemonocarboxylic acid in which the carboxy group is located at position 2. It is an intermediate in the metabolism of tryptophan.

Body Weight: The mass or quantity of heaviness of an individual. It is expressed by units of pounds or kilograms.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"This study tested the hypothesis that supplementation of chromium picolinate (CrPic), 200 microg Cr/d, compared with an equivalent amount of picolinic acid (1720 microg) in CrPic and placebo, decreases body weight, alters body composition, and reduces iron status of women fed diets of constant energy and nutrients."9.12Chromium picolinate supplementation in women: effects on body weight, composition, and iron status.

"Picolinic acid (PiA) is an endogenous metabolite of tryptophan that has been reported to possess a wide range of physiological actions."1.40Large amounts of picolinic acid are lethal but small amounts increase the conversion of tryptophan-nicotinamide in rats. ( Fukuwatari, T; Shibata, K, 2014)
