picolinic acid and Weight Loss

picolinic acid has been researched along with Weight Loss in 10 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.

Weight Loss: Decrease in existing BODY WEIGHT.

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.

" Peripheral insulin resistance, which usually responds to a very-low-fat diet, aerobic exercise training, and appropriate weight loss, can also treated with high-dose chromium picolinate, high-dose vitamin E, magnesium, soluble fiber, and possibly taurine; these measures appear likely to correct the diabetes-associated metabolic derangements of vascular smooth muscle, and thus lessen risk for macrovascular disease."3.69Exploiting complementary therapeutic strategies for the treatment of type II diabetes and prevention of its complications.
