Re-evaluation of amino-oxyacetate as an inhibitor

Abstract

Data are provided which indicate that pyruvate and/or acetaldehyde can reverse the inhibition of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase by amino-oxyacetate. It was shown that acetaldehyde could reverse the inhibition of gluconeogenesis from alanine and that pyruvate could reverse the inhibition of urea synthesis by amino-oxyacetate.
