Article Synopsis
- Guanidinoacetic acid (GAA) is an amino acid that regulates energy metabolism and may hinder fat development in lambs; a study found that GAA reduced rib measurements in lamb carcasses.
- Analysis indicated that GAA lowers the expression of key genes involved in fat production, such as PPARγ, C/EBPα, and SREBP1C in adipose tissue, and also suppressed the proliferation of fat cell precursors.
- Additional research showed that GAA alters miRNA profiles, with its effects on fat cell development linked to changes in miR-133a, which can promote fat differentiation despite GAA's inhibitory actions.
