pyruvic acid and BH4 Deficiency

pyruvic acid has been researched along with BH4 Deficiency in 7 studies

Pyruvic Acid: An intermediate compound in the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. In thiamine deficiency, its oxidation is retarded and it accumulates in the tissues, especially in nervous structures. (From Stedman, 26th ed)
pyruvic acid : A 2-oxo monocarboxylic acid that is the 2-keto derivative of propionic acid. It is a metabolite obtained during glycolysis.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Phenylketonuria is characterized by a variable degree of mental retardation and other neurological features whose mechanisms are not fully understood."1.38Pyruvate and creatine prevent oxidative stress and behavioral alterations caused by phenylalanine administration into hippocampus of rats. ( Berti, SL; Castro, FL; Dutra-Filho, CS; Garcia, C; Moraes, TB; Nasi, GM; Nunes, ML; Rojas, DB; Wannmacher, CM, 2012)
"It has been suggested that the hyperphenylalaninaemia in patients with PKU reduces complex I (NADH:ubiquinone reductase) activity of the mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC) and/or biosynthesis of coenzyme Q(10) (CoQ(10)), which acts as an electron carrier in the MRC, leading to impaired energy metabolism in the brain of patients with PKU and hence the neurological pathology."1.35Assessment of mitochondrial respiratory chain function in hyperphenylalaninaemia. ( Hargreaves, I; Kyprianou, N; Lee, P; Murphy, E, 2009)
