The occurrence of pyruvic acid and methylglyoxal in muscle metabolism.
THAT the metabolic changes which occur in muscle are of profound complexity is evident. This work was undertaken with the object of studying some of the intermediary mechanisms of muscle carbohydrate metabolism by means of the use of reagents which would remove from the system some product which is only transitorily formed normally. The method is essentially the same as that employed by Neuberg...
متن کاملMetabolism of pyruvic acid-2-C14 and hydroxypyruvic acid-2-C14 in algae.
The metabolism of pyruvic acid in the light and dark by Scenedesmus has been examined with two aims: to study the relationship of its metabolism to that of the intermediates of C1402 fixation and to compare its metabolic fate with that of hydroxypyruvate. The metabolism of hydroxypyruvic acid was compared with that of C1402 fixation in order to ascertain whether it might be a photosynthetic int...
متن کاملBacterial metabolism of mevalonic acid.
Soluble cell-free extracts of actinomycete S4 grown on media containing mevalonate catalyze acetoacetate formation from mevalonate, mevaldate, and beta-hydroxy-beta-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (CoA). Conversion of mevalonate to acetoacetate involves formation of free beta-hydroxy-beta-methylglutaryl-CoA, but not free mevaldate. The reaction favors mevalonate oxidation, and nicotinamide adenine di...
متن کاملPhotochemistry of aqueous pyruvic acid.
The study of organic chemistry in atmospheric aerosols and cloud formation is of interest in predictions of air quality and climate change. It is now known that aqueous phase chemistry is important in the formation of secondary organic aerosols. Here, the photoreactivity of pyruvic acid (PA; CH3COCOOH) is investigated in aqueous environments characteristic of atmospheric aerosols. PA is current...
متن کاملSome aspects of the metabolism of pyruvic acid in the intact animal.
Until the advent of the isotope technique, the formation of fat in adult animals was held to occur only on a diet containing an excess of calories. From the work of Schoenheimer and Rittenberg (1) it became clear that body fat is not an inert energy store but participates actively in intermediary metabolism. Their evidence also indicated that small molecules were utilized to build up the fatty ...
