[43] [45] The relatively good scavenging activity of LA toward hypochlorous acid (a bactericidal produced by neutrophils that may produce inflammation and tissue damage) is due to the strained conformation of the 5-membered dithiolane ring, which is lost upon reduction to DHLA
For instance, in NSCLC cells, elevated lactylation of histone H3 reduces glycolysis and maintains mitochondrial balance by altering mRNA levels of glycolytic enzymes ( HK1, PKM ) and TCA cycle enzymes ( SDHA, IDH3G ), highlighting the crosstalk between histone Kla and glucose metabolism in cancer progression
