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.

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.

Several phenolic compounds as well as ascorbate can oxidise in certain cell culture media (especially Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM)) to generate hydrogen peroxide. Addition of oxaloacetate decreased the levels of H(2)O(2) detected and the oxaloacetate was depleted. Oxaloacetate was
