Pyruvate

Explanation: Pyruvate is a small molecule produced when the body breaks down glucose (sugar) for energy. It is a key part of the process that creates fuel for cells (Krebs Cycle).

Test purpose: Testing its levels helps detect problems with energy metabolism, particularly in conditions affecting the mitochondria (the “powerhouses” of cells) or the process of breaking down glucose. These disorders can cause symptoms like chronic fatigue, developmental delays, and muscle problems.

  • Detect mitochondrial conditions like mitochondrial myopathies which can cause pyruvate buildup.
  • Investigate exercise performance and muscle fatigue: Energy metabolism issues often cause symptoms like muscle weakness, exercise intolerance, and fatigue.
