Abstract:The tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle is responsible for the generation of energy in the human body and may inform about the energy status in different physiological and pathological conditions. It was developed a method to quantify the TCA cycle intermediates (α-ketoglutaric, citric, fumaric, lactic, malic, and succinic acids) by capillary zone electrophoresis with diode array detector (CZE-DAD) in indirect mode. The background electrolyte consisted of 24 mmol L–1 2,6-pyridine carboxylic acid, 76 mmol L–1 β-alan… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
