Oxaloacetates

Q: What are the different types or variations of Oxaloacetates?

Oxaloacetates refer to a class of dicarboxylic acid compounds that exist in various forms, including the free acid, salts, and esters. The most common forms are the oxaloacetic acid and its metal ion salts, such as sodium oxaloacetate and potassium oxaloacetate. These different variants can have slightly different chemical properties and biological functions, which researchers need to consider when selecting the appropriate form for their specific Oxaloacetates-related studies.

Q: How can Oxaloacetates be used in research and applications?

Oxaloacetates play a crucial role in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, also known as the Krebs cycle, which is a key metabolic pathway for energy production in most living organisms. Beyond their importance in cellular respiration, Oxaloacetates are also involved in biosynthesis, cellular signaling, and other metabolic processes. Researchers can leverage Oxaloacetates in a variety of applications, such as investigating energy metabolism, studying the TCA cycle, analyzing cellular signaling pathways, and developing potential therapeutic interventions targeting these metabolic processes.

Quantifying Mitochondrial Content via Citrate Synthase

Cited 4 times

Tissue lysates obtained through cell lysis buffer processing (described above) were batch processed for citrate synthase activity as previously described by our laboratory (Kephart et al., 2015 (link)). This metric was used as a surrogate for mitochondrial content per the findings of Larsen et al. (2012) (link) suggesting citrate synthase activity highly correlates with transmission electron micrograph (TEM) images of mitochondrial content (r = 0.84, p < 0.001). The assay principle is based upon the reduction of 5,50-dithiobis(2- nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) at 412 nm (extinction coefficient 13.6 mmol/L/cm) coupled to the reduction of acetyl-CoA by the citrate synthase reaction in the presence of oxaloacetate. Briefly, five μg of skeletal muscle protein was added to a mixture composed of 0.125 mol/L Tris–HCl (pH 8.0), 0.03 mmol/L acetyl-CoA, and 0.1 mmol/L DTNB. The reaction was initiated by the addition of 5 μL of 50 mmol/L oxaloacetate and the absorbance change was recorded for 1 min. The average CV values for all duplicates was 4.6%.

Fifty ml of blood were collected in tubes con taining acid-citrate-dextrose. Blood samples were obtained at NYU and sent overnight to the Uni versity of Kansas. Upon receipt, platelets were isolated by centrifugation and enriched mitochondrial fractions were prepared using previously described methods [13 (link), 14 (link)]. The protein concentrations of the enriched mitochondrial fractions were measured using a DC protein assay kit (BioRad, Hercules, CA). Cytochrome c oxidase Vmax activity (COX, Com plex IV, sec^-1/mg) was determined as a pseudo first order-rate constant by measuring the oxidation of reduced cytochrome c at 550 nm. Citrate synthase (CS) Vmax activity (nmol/min/mg) was determined spectrophotometrically following the formation of 5- thio-2-nitrobenzoate (412 nm) following the addition of 100 μM oxaloacetate at 30°C. In addition to refer encing COX Vmax activity to total protein, to correct for potential inter-sample differences in mitochondrial mass, the COX activity for each sample was also ref erenced to its corresponding CS activity. CS activity is reportedly comparable between NL and AD patients, with variations as little as 0.5–2%, and does not show age effects [13 (link), 14 (link)].

Citrate Synthase Activity Assay

Timing: 0.5–1 h

Citrate synthase catalyzes the condensation of acetyl-CoA and oxaloacetate to form citrate during the first step of the Krebs cycle in the mitochondrial matrix. The activity of citrate synthase is often used as a reliable method of normalization of MRC activity assays. The activity of citrate synthase is measured through an indirect method, following the formation of a yellow-colored thionitrobenzoate (TNB) derivative of DTNB by measuring the changes in absorbance at λ=412 nm. DTNB spontaneously forms TNB by reacting with sulfhydryl groups of free coenzyme A resulting from citrate synthase activity (Srere, 1969 ; Trounce et al., 1996 (link); Spinazzi et al., 2012 (link)).

Oxaloacetate for PMDD Relief

Not available on PMC !

Example 3

A woman diagnosed with PMDD had a history of extreme cramping (pain level 10), suicidal thoughts, and difficulty with anger and anxiety. The cramping was not relieved by Midol or Aspirin. The woman was despondent even after her symptoms of PMDD left because of guilt over her behavior during this time period. She took 200 mg oxaloacetate in a hypromellose capsule carrier, and experienced immediate relief from all symptoms. She reported that it was like a 1,000 pound weight being taken off her shoulders.

Example 4

The woman in Example 3 continued to take oxaloacetate each month for the next three months and monitored her progress. She took one pill starting about 10 days before her period, and continued taking 1 pill daily until the first sign of PMS, when she increased the dosage to 2 capsules per day until the 2nd day of her period. The symptoms of PMDD completely resolved. She reported that “I am no longer a suicidal, psychotic crazy person every month. And I know it is the supplements because this will be the 3rd month with no PMDD and that is NOT a coincidence.”

Serum Biomarkers Analysis in Clinical Research

Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST), immunoglobulin M (IgM), complements 3 and 4 (C3 and C4, respectively), cortisol and glucose concentrations were analyzed in the serum of blood samples. Glucose was analyzed according to the hexokinase method³⁵ using Cobas pack (reference number, 04404483 190) through the Cobas-c 311 analyzer, system-ID 0768316. Cortisol was assayed based on the formation of the respective immune complex method^{36 (link)} through the electrochemiluminescence immunoassay “ECLIA” pack (reference number, 11875116 122) using the Cobas-e immunoassay analyzer. ALT analysis was performed using Cobas c pack (reference number, 207649q57 322), Cobas-C 311 analyzer, system ID 0,764,957. ALT was detected according to Bergmeyer et al.^{37 (link)} and ECCLS³⁸. ALT catalyzed the reaction between L-alanine and 2-oxoglutarate. The formed pyruvate is reduced by NADH in a reaction catalyzed by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) to form L-lactate and NAD. The rate of the NADH oxidation is directly proportional to the catalytic ALT activity. It is determined by measuring the decrease in absorbance. AST in the sample catalyzed the transfer of an amino group between L-aspartate and 2-oxoglutarate to form oxaloacetate and L-glutamate. The oxaloacetate then reacted with NADH, in the presence of malate dehydrogenase (MDH), to form NAD. This assay followed the recommendations of the IFCC but was optimized according to Bergmeyer et al.^{37 (link)} and ECCLS³⁸ using Cobas c pack (reference number, 20764949322) through the Cobas-C 311 analyzer. System lD 076494I. IgM was determined based on the principle of immunological agglutination³⁹ through the Cobas c 311, system ID 0767883 using Cobas c pack (reference number, 03507190). IgM antibodies and antigens reacted with each other in the sample and formed an antigen/antibody complex. After agglutination, this was measured turbidimetrically at a sub/main wavelength: 700/340. C3 and C4 were determined by forming a precipitate through the addition of a specific antiserum and then they were determined turbidimetrically at a sub/main wavelength: 700/340³⁹. C3 was measured through the Cobas c 311, system ID 0765600 using Cobas c pack (reference number, 03001938322). C4 was analyzed through the Cobas c 311, system ID 0765619 using Cobas c pack (reference number, 03001962322).

Citrate Synthase Activity Assay

Citrate synthase (CS) activity was measured with 2 µL of supernatants of muscle homogenate from western blotting preparation in 100 mmol/L Tris HCl (pH = 8.0) buffer with 0.5 mmol/L oxaloacetate, 0.3 mmol/L acetyl-CoA, 0.1 mmol/L 5,5′-dithiobis 2-nitrobenzoic acid (DTNB) as previously described (Srere, 1969 (link)). The increase in absorbance at 412 nm was followed over 3 min at 25°C due to the formation of the 5-thio-2-nitrobenzoate anion (TNB) generated from DTNB. CS activity was expressed as micromoles of TNB formed per minute per Gram of tissue.
