| Application: | Oxaloacetic acid has been used to evaluate its effect on neuromuscular function and lifespan in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) model superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) G93A mice. It has also been used as a supplement in Dulbecco′s modified Eagle′s medium (DMEM) to culture chicken fibroblast (DF-1) cells and chemically immortalized leghorn male hepatoma (LMH) cells for functional validation experiments. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Oxaloacetic acid plays a vital role in central metabolism. It inhibits succinate dehydrogenase and is a key regulator of mitochondrial metabolism. |
| General description: | Oxaloacetic acid is a dicarboxylic acid that is present in every cell in the body. It is a metabolic intermediate of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and gluconeogenesis. |
