Description:
Sodium Pyruvate is a kind of white crystalline powder. Sodium pyruvate is also an additional medicament
for body-building and weight-losing meal, Sodium pyruvate is commonly added to cell culture media as an
additional source of energy, but may also have protective effects against hydrogen peroxide.
Applications:
Sodium pyruvate is utilized as a component in culture broth and media.
It is utilized by cells as an intermediate compound in the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and
fats.
It is involved with amino acid metabolism and initiates the Kreb′s cycle.
In thiamine deficiency, its oxidation is retarded and it accumulates in the tissues, especially in nervous
structures. A protcol that uses sodium pyruvate to establish stably transfected human B cell lines has
been published. The 100 mM solution should be diluted 1:100 for most cell culture applications.
Intermediate in sugar metabolism and in enzymatic carbohydrate degradation (alcoholic fermentation) where
it is converted to acetaldehyde and CO2 by carboxylase. In muscle, Pyruvic acid (derived from glycogen) is
reduced to lactic acid during exertion, which is reoxidized and partially retransformed to glycogen during
rest. The liver can convert Pyruvic acid to alanine by amination. A diagnostic agent for Parkinson disease
