[Pathways of endogenous malonate formation in the rat liver].

Malonic acid is one of the intermediates of cell metabolism. Malonic dialdehyde and malonyl coenzyme A may be important precursors of malonate. The correlation of biosynthesis intensity and utilization of malonate determines capacity of its intracellular pool. It is supposed that pool capacity is related both to metabolism regulation and to functional condition of organs and tissues.
