We have reported that acetic acid (AcOH) intake suppresses body fat mass and up-regulates the genes involved in fatty acid oxidation, but it is not clear whether the suppression of body fat mass by AcOH administration is due to an increase in energy expenditure (EE). In this study, we investigated to determine whether a single oral administration of AcOH would increase EE in C57BL/6J mice treated with 1.5% AcOH. The AcOH treatment group had significantly higher oxygen consumption (VO2), EE, and fat oxidation (FAT) than the water treatment group. These results suggest that a single administration of AcOH increases EE, resulting in suppression of body fat mass.
