Isovalerylglycine is produced from leucine catabolism. It is further metabolized via isovaleryl-CoA dehydrogenase. This enzyme requires vitamin B2 as a cofactor.

Acyl-CoA dehydrogenase enzymes are not only involved in branched-chain amino acid metabolism, but also beta-oxidation of fatty acids.
Enzymatic dysfunction and elevations in isovalerylglycine are seen when there is a functional nutrient cofactor need and in certain inborn errors of metabolism. However, elevations of isovalerylglycine are also seen in problematic mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation.
Carnitine, glycine, vitamin B2, and antioxidants have been used therapeutically to treat abnormal levels of isovalerylglycine.
There is an association between elevated isovalerylglycine and anorexia nervosa. The mechanism is believed to be due to poor thyroid conversion of vitamin B2 into active FAD, which normalized in some patients after a refeeding program.
Interpret Your Lab Results
Upload your lab report, and we'll interpret and provide you with recommendations today.
Get StartedOur specialized data entry service is designed to seamlessly integrate your laboratory results into your private dashboard. Just send in your lab test results—whether it's an image or a file—and our skilled data entry team will handle the rest. We accommodate various file formats like PDFs, JPGs, and Excel.
The first report is complimentary. After that, the data entry service is priced at $15 per report, unless it's part of your subscribed plan. It's an ideal solution whether you have numerous reports to upload or if your schedule doesn't permit self-data entry.
We strive to make the data entry process easy for you. Whether by offering dozens of templates to choose from that pre-populate the most popular laboratory panels or by giving you instant feedback on the entered values. Our data entry forms are an easy, fast, and convenient way to enter the reports yourself. There is no limit on how many lab reports you can upload.
