Acetoacetic acid (lithium) (Standard)

Acetoacetic acid (lithium) (Standard) is the analytical standard of Acetoacetic acid (lithium) . This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Acetoacetic acid lithium is an oxidative stress inducer that affects the antioxidant enzyme system and lipoprotein metabolism. Acetoacetic acid lithium induces oxidative stress by decreasing the mRNA expression and activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), increasing MDA content, and inhibiting very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) assembly by downregulating apolipoprotein ApoB100, ApoE, and low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), leading to triglyceride (TG) accumulation in hepatocytes. Acetoacetic acid lithium can be used to study metabolic diseases[1][2][3].
