| Compound | Description |
|---|
| 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) |
| l-lactic acid | |
| aspartic acid | One of the non-essential amino acids commonly occurring in the L-form. It is found in animals and plants, especially in sugar cane and sugar beets. It may be a neurotransmitter. |
| glucose, (beta-d)-isomer | |
| phosphoenolpyruvate | A monocarboxylic acid anion derived from selective deprotonation of the carboxy group of phosphoenolpyruvic acid. It is a metabolic intermediate in GLYCOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS; and other pathways. |
| fructose-1,6-diphosphate | RN refers to (D)-isomer |
| glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate | An aldotriose which is an important intermediate in glycolysis and in tryptophan biosynthesis. |
| glycerate 1,3-biphosphate | |
| 2-phosphoglycerate | RN given refers to cpd without isomeric designation |
| dihydroxyacetone phosphate | An important intermediate in lipid biosynthesis and in glycolysis. |
| 3-phosphoglycerate | |
| oxaloacetic acid | A dicarboxylic acid ketone that is an important metabolic intermediate of the CITRIC ACID CYCLE. It can be converted to ASPARTIC ACID by ASPARTATE TRANSAMINASE. |
| acetyl coenzyme a | Acetyl CoA participates in the biosynthesis of fatty acids and sterols, in the oxidation of fatty acids and in the metabolism of many amino acids. It also acts as a biological acetylating agent. |
