Oxaloacetic acid (2-Oxosuccinic acid) is a metabolic intermediate involved in various pathways, including the citric acid cycle, gluconeogenesis, the urea cycle, the glyoxylate cycle, amino acid synthesis, and fatty acid synthesis. It facilitates the clearance of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and improves mitochondrial function.
