2-Hydroxybutyric acid (α-Hydroxybutyric acid) is an endogenous metabolite, converted from 2-Aminobutyric acid. It serves as a potential biomarker for type 2 diabetes and preeclampsia and has shown the ability to prevent acetaminophen (AP)-induced liver injury. This compound is synthesized as a coproduct of insulin resistance, contributing to insulin signaling impairment and mitochondrial overload.
