?-Hydroxyisovaleric acid is an active metabolite of L-leucine.{61424} It is produced from leucine via an ?-ketoisocaproic acid intermediate by ?-ketoisocaproate oxidase in human liver homogenates. ?-Hydroxyisovaleric acid (50 µM) reduces increases in 20S proteasome activity and NF-?B nuclear accumulation induced by proteolysis-inducing factor (PIF) in C2C12 myotubes.{61425} It inhibits protein degradation and stimulates protein synthesis in the gastrocnemius muscle of cachectic mice bearing MAC16 tumors when administered at doses of 0.25 and 2.5 g/kg.{61426} Urinary levels of ?-hydroxyisovaleric acid are increased in patients with type II diabetes.{61427} Formulations containing ?-hydroxyisovaleric acid have been used as dietary supplements.
