It had an antioxidant function and participates as a cofactor in cellular energy supply, activating the mitochondrial enzymes pyruvate and dehydrogenase alpha-ketoglutarate: the first one is involved in the oxidation of pyruvate, otherwise reduced to lactic acid, the second one in the oxidation of alpha-ketoglutarate, an important intermediate of cellular breathing and metabolism of amino acids. It is found in meat (e.g. liver) and in yeast.
