3-Guanidinopropionic acid
3-Guanidinopropionic acid is a creatine analog that alters skeletal muscle energy expenditure. It reduces cellular ATP, creatine, and phosphocreatine levels and stimulates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), activating PPARγ coactivator 1α (PGC-1α). 3-Guanidinopropionic acid is an acidic guanidine derivative that has been shown to ameliorate hyperglycemia in animal models of noninsulin-dependent diabetes.
