Compound	Description
hydrogen sulfide	A flammable, poisonous gas with a characteristic odor of rotten eggs. It is used in the manufacture of chemicals, in metallurgy, and as an analytical reagent. (From Merck Index, 11th ed)
Aspartate
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)
alpha-Ketoglutarate
3-mercaptopyruvate
glutamate
Cysteine	A thiol-containing non-essential amino acid that is oxidized to form CYSTINE.
