Metabolite Identification

Common Name

D-Lactaldehyde

Description

D-Lactaldehyde belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alpha-hydroxyaldehydes. These are organic compounds containing an aldehyde substituted with a hydroxyl group on the adjacent carbon. D-Lactaldehyde exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to plants to humans. In humans, D-lactaldehyde is involved in the metabolic disorder called the leigh syndrome pathway. D-Lactaldehyde has been detected, but not quantified in, a few different foods, such as anatidaes (Anatidae), chickens (Gallus gallus), and domestic pigs (Sus scrofa domestica). This could make D-lactaldehyde a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. D-Lactaldehyde is a primary metabolite. Primary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically essential metabolites. They are directly involved in an organism’s growth, development or reproduction. Based on a literature review a small amount of articles have been published on D-Lactaldehyde.
