Pyruvate Overview

Pyruvate, also known as alpha-ketocarboxylic acid, is an organic acid containing three carbon atoms. Within the body, it is produced through glycolysis, a metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate. Pyruvate plays a crucial role in the cellular energy production process. It can either be further broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce more energy through aerobic respiration or be converted into lactate in the absence of oxygen during anaerobic respiration, making it an essential molecule for sustaining cellular metabolism.

Danazol is in a class of medications called androgenic hormones. It works to treat endometriosis by shrinking the displaced tissue of the uterus. It works to treat fibrocystic breast disease by blocking the release of hormones that cause the breast pain and lumps.
