| Bioactivity | Methylenecyclopropylpyruvate (Ketohypoglycin) is an inhibitor for gluconeogenesis. Methylenecyclopropylpyruvate inhibits ketogenesis and affects the fatty acids metabolism. Methylenecyclopropylpyruvate may interfere with the mitochondrial β-oxidation pathway, affects the contents and composition of coenzyme A, and affects the glucose homeostasis[1]. |
