Description
2-Hydroxybutyric acid (α-Hydroxybutyric acid) is converted from 2-Aminobutyric acid, with 2-oxobutyric acid as an intermediate metabolite[1]. 2-Hydroxybutyric acid is a potential biomarker for type 2 diabetes and preeclampsia[2][4]. 2-Hydroxybutyric acid prevents the acetaminophen (AP) -induced liver injury[3].
