Background. Pyruvate serves as an important diagnostic marker of mitochondrial dysfunctions, lactic acidosis, and certain oncological diseases. Traditional methods for pyruvate analysis have a number of significant limitations: they require complex ...

Lactate-proton co-transport and its contribution to interstitial acidification during hypoxia in isolated rat spinal roots [PDF]
Exposure of nervous tissue to hypoxia results in interstitial acidification. There is evidence for concomitant decrease in extracellular pH to the increase in tissue lactate.

Cold Tolerance Regulated by the Pyruvate Metabolism in Vibrio parahaemolyticus
Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a common foodborne pathogen found in seafood, and represents a major threat to human health worldwide. Low-temperature storage is an important seafood processing method, but is not sufficient to completely eliminate the ...

Minimizing acetate formation in E. coli fermentations [PDF]
Escherichia coli remains the best established production organisms in industrial biotechnology. However, during aerobic fermentation runs at high growth rates, considerable amounts of acetate are accumulated as by-product.

From meadows to milk to mucosa – adaptation of Streptococcus and Lactococcus species to their nutritional environments [PDF]
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are indigenous to food-related habitats as well as associated with the mucosal surfaces of animals. The LAB family Streptococcaceae consists of the genera Lactococcus and Streptococcus.

Effect of L-carnitine and pyruvate on equine sperm maintained at 5 ºC and 15 ºC during 24 h: preliminary results [PDF]
The aim of this study was to evaluate if the addition of L-carnitine and pyruvate to two semen transport extenders (Kenney and Kenney modified by Tyrodes) is able to maintain sperm parameters for 24 h at 5 ºC and 15 ºC.

The oxidation-reduction potential of coenzyme I [PDF]
The oxidation-reduction potential of cozymase (diphosphopyridine nucleotide) was calculated from the free energies of formation of aqueous d-alanine and d-glutamic acid based on thermal data, and the equilibria measured by Wurmser and Filitti-Wurmser(1 ...

The Quiet Embryo Hypothesis: 20 years on
This article revisits the hypothesis, proposed in 2002, that the successful development of oocytes and preimplantation mammalian embryos is associated with a metabolism which is “quiet” rather than “active”, within limits which had yet to be defined.
