Informations sur le produit

• Nom: (S)-2-Hydroxybutyric acid
• Synonymes: (S)-a-Hydroxybutyric acidL-2-Hydroxybutyric acid
• Marque: Biosynth
• Description: (S)-2-Hydroxybutyric acid is a substrate molecule for the enzyme malate dehydrogenase, which catalyzes the conversion of (S)-2-hydroxybutyric acid to propionate and carbon dioxide. This reaction is important in energy production when glycolysis is unable to meet the body's energy requirements. The (S)-2-hydroxybutyric acid can be used as an analytical method for determining insulin resistance by measuring its concentration in urine samples. The logistic regression model was used to predict the probability that a cancer patient would respond positively to treatment with (S)-2-hydroxybutyric acid. Hydroxyl groups are found on both enantiomers of (S)-2-hydroxybutyric acid. In order to determine which enantiomer may have more therapeutic potential, researchers must prepare a sample for analysis and identify which enantiomer is present.
