Endogenous pyruvate is an end-product in glycolysis and a key molecule for ATP production under aerobic and anaerobic conditions, whereas exogenous pyruvate is transferred to cells via monocarboxylate ...

Metabolism, far from being just a housekeeping function, underlies all changes in cell size and function ...

Cancer metastasis is a crucial area in cancer research that directly affects patient survival and treatment outcomes. Cancer cells often undergo adaptive metabolic changes during metastasis from in ...

HEREDITARY spherocytosis with its associated congenital hemolytic anemia is generally easily recognized and satisfactorily treated with splenectomy. A rarer group of congenital hemolytic anemias, ...

Indications: Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex deficiency, typically associated with post-prandial lactic acidemia with a normal lactate/pyruvate ratio, can be assayed in freshly isolated blood ...

CWRU has a decades-long history of research into pyruvate dehydrogenase complex deficiency (PDCD). The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) is a multiple enzyme complex in the shape of a pentagonal ...

Acetolactate synthase, also known as acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS), is an enzyme involved in the branched chain amino acid biosynthesis pathway. AHAS is a thiamine diphosphate (ThDP)-dependent ...

Glycolysis is the breakdown of glucose into two pyruvate molecules. This process does not require oxygen (it is anaerobic). The production of pyruvate from glucose involves the production of several ...
