Beschreibung

Potassium pyruvate is a chemical compound that is formed by the oxidation of pyruvic acid. It can be used in analytical methods to measure the concentration of caproic acid, a group P2 molecule, in a sample. Potassium pyruvate has been shown to have antioxidant properties and reduce oxidative stress in human macrophages. Potassium pyruvate has also been shown to stimulate ribitol dehydrogenase, an enzyme that can convert ribitol into ribose-5-phosphate, which is important for DNA synthesis. The detection sensitivity of potassium pyruvate is much higher than that of other analytical methods and it can be used as an indicator for measuring the concentration of many organic compounds. Potassium pyruvate may have physiological effects on cells because it has been shown to promote pluripotent cells in plants as well as play a role in ischemic brain damage and basic fibroblast growth.
