In earlier reports, we developed a novel amino acid(AA)mixture comprised of arginine, alanine, and phenylalanine(A-mix), and suggested that pre-exercise ingestion of A-mix increases levels of blood ketone bodies and glycerol both during exercise(Ex)and following a bout of Ex by increasing secretion of adrenalin and glucagon. However, it is unclear whether this acute response induced by ingestion of A-mix combined with Ex is sustained if the supplement is ingested for several weeks. Herein, we explored the long-term effects of A-mix with Ex on the development of obesity in C57BL╱6 mice that were fed a high-fat diet (HF). We compared the effects over a 5-week period utilizing treadmill-running Ex with or without A-mix(1 g╱kg╱day)supplementation. We found that HF+A-mix suppressed HF-induced bodyweight gain by 19%, and found that the weight of mesenteric fat was significantly reduced in the group that received the A-mix supplement. Moreover, levels of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha(PGC1-α)in brown adipose tissue(BAT)were significantly increased in the HF+A-mix group. Taken together, these results suggest that dietary A-mix supplementation, in combination with continuous Ex, attenuates diet-induced obesity by modulating levels of PGC1-α in BAT, which is involved in mitochondrial biogenesis and function.
